Communication

Ms. Marshall likes to greet each student in the morning as they come in. When she gets the chance she also likes to have small conversations with the students. Ms. Marshall knows and gets along with most of the parents in her class and knows some of the students out of class as well. Ms. Marshall is also very good at communicating with students if she does not like a certain behavior that they have done. When it is appropriate, she calls the child out in front of the class, but most times she pulls the child aside and talks to them privately about their behavior. Ms. Marshall communicates well with the parents she is always sending notes home in folders or emailing the parents. Parents also have her phone number if they need to call her at anytime. Email is THE form of communication for faculty and staff at the school.

My new cooperating teacher, Mrs, Bradley does this as well. She has a few students with learning disablilites in her classroom and most of the time she will call the student out on their behavior in front of the class, but she also does it in private or one on one to make it more personal. I think the one on one seems to work best with her students. Mrs. Bradley communicates with parents through email as well and emails other faculty as well.
