I reached the school sharp at 7:15am before the assembly. The bell rang for the
assembly. There was a well disciplined environment in the assembly as it began
with recitation of verses of Holy Quran followed by the NAAT Sharif and
message of the day at the end of assembly the national anthem played. After

classroom at GPS Umar Abad Mianwali. The school as whole is rather large and
illi
has around 200 students and over 10 teachers thus creating a stable student-
Sk
to-teacher ratio. All of my observations hours were spent observing Mr. Irfan’s
classroom. After walking into the classroom, you immediately feel welcome. On
the floor is a doormat full of color. The rug says welcome and makes you feel
just that. On the wall there are a number of pictures encourages learning. There
are pictures of color, shapes, letters, vegetables, animals’ objects and numbers.
There are pictures of animals at desks and animals reading and writing. This is
supposed to provide fun twist on learning for students. I also noticed there was
a schedule on board showing allocated time for each subject and calendar with
current and previous date flipped over. Also on the board is a “Discipline
tracker” as He calls it. It consisted of 3 Plates: one red, one yellow, and one
green. This will be explained later. The classroom was also divided into 3 spaces:
the
teacher’s desk, the student’s desk and the reading corner. Overall, the
classroom environment was very homey. He stated the class every morning
with him reading lesson. Mr. Zawar Ali walked over to his chair, sat down and
called the children over and told them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every
child was seated with their hands in their lap, Mr. Zawar Ali began explaining
what story He would reading to the class the morning. As He read, He used
group altering by periodically asking the students questions pertaining to the
characters or the words in the story. Such as which word rhyme in this
sentence? or what is the feeling word. This made the engaged time with the
students last longer since they knew they would be asked to answer. After
reading the lesson, He would then tell the kids to disperse into their groups and
tell them what corners to go to. Mr. Zawar Ali later explained that the kids were
grouped based on their scores from a test given at the beginning of the year.
This way, He knew He would have to work longer with a certain group or not as
longer with another based on how much they previously knew. The
kids then either went to the computer corner, the teacher’s aide, or to work
with Mr. Irfan. At each corner the children worked on word identification,
reading, phonics and spelling. The children who needed the help more worked
k
While Mr. Irfan was teaching the individuals groups, I noticed how often He
.p
would have to talk time away from his teaching to discipline the other kids. It
ng
seemed almost ridiculous how often He would have to stop to make sure
illi
Sk
nobody was talking, being disruptive, or not doing their work. I felt upset for
those kids who wanted to learn but could not because Mr. Zawar Ali was playing
policeman. This showed me how much time really goes into non-instructional
activities. If any of the disruption ever got out of control beyond a warning, then
He would use the discipline tracker. He would move a cloth spin with the
student name from green to yellow. This meant that student did not get a
sticker at the end of the day although it seems petty to an adult that sticker
meant the world to child and the student’s behavior automatically improved. I
had to pray my mentor on this eye thought it was annotative way of teaching
the students good behavior through a reward system. The school environment
was very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were also spotless. The
staff and students alike seem to really enjoy the school and the environment
around them. There is no better place to learn than some where you are
comfortable.
Part II: Reflection I believe that overall, this was a great experience. I honestly
could not have been happier with how well my observations of Mr. amir
classroom went. I would strongly recommend his to interested student looking
for somewhere to learn the ways of teaching. Not only He was strong
academically, but also you could tell He had an interest passion for making sure
each and every one of his students learned at least something in class every
day. Not only was He strong, but patient as well. Having fifteen kids running
around a room cannot be easy for anyone. Yet He handled it with grace and
poise. I picked up so many teaching methods while observing Mr.
Zawar Ali. I loved how He had little note
cards with each student’s name and would flip from card to card after each
question, giving every student a chance to participate and ensuring
participation. He also had a different student every morning to lead the
morning exercise. He later explained that this was to wake the students up and
get their blood going in participation f learning. I thought this was a unique and
k
cleaver way to keep the students active and ready for enthusiasm to teach. I
.p
a number of staff always smiled or said good morning, and meant it. The

students had smiles on their faces and it was clear that they coming to school
every morning. The experience has truly opened my eyes and made me realize
that teaching really is what I would like to do for the rest of my life. To see
children, finally have something click in their heads or smile, when you tell them
they answered the question correctly makes all the hard times worth it.
Although I’m sure, it will be a lot of work, I have no doubt in my mind that
molding young minds is the right path for me.
