Provost Elementary in Provo, Utah is located across the street from the Provo City Cemetery. It's a brand new school two story school that was completed in 2018 to replace the older school in the same location. The school is considered a walking school because it doesn't bus any of its students. The surrounding neighborhood consists of smaller, older homes built from the 1940s though the 1970s. There are also several apartment buildings in the boundaries. The new school has lots of windows for natural light, wide hallways, and spacious classrooms. The large "cafetorium"serves as an auditorium, gym, and cafeteria. Each story has a large multi purpose room for teachers to do experiments and activities with their students. Copies of famous artworks hang on the walls and the principal's motto is: "I'm going to college. No excuses."

 Provost is a Title 1 elementary with about 60% of its students considered economically disadvantaged. 445 students are enrolled at the school and 62% of students are Caucasian and 32% are Hispanic. Many of them are English Language Learners. The principal, Dr. Stephen Oliverson has a PhD in Educational Leadership. Provost was also designated a National Distinguished Title-I School in large part because of its music immersion program. All students learn to play the piano, the violin or cello, and participate in band. This is in addition to regular music classes. Students also have the opportunity to participate in choir and learn to play the guitar.

 Service learning at this school would involve working with many ELL students, some of whom may not have parents who speak English in the home. Teachers may need help going over spelling and vocabulary, reinforcing math concepts, and helping students with their writing. I may also get the opportunity to read aloud to students and help teachers with centers or other small groups.

 Final Blog Post             Although being a teacher has its challenges, I do think it is most likely the career path for me. Some of the challenges that are concerns for me include being able to effectively teach each student in the way they need. I think it could be hard to have a classroom where several students have IEPs because a teacher needs to make sure that all of their learning needs are met. So many students are at different levels in their reading, writing, and math skills. Making sure each child is experiencing growth seems daunting to me. Having students who are brand new to the country is another challenge because the student is learning both a new language and a new culture. Managing a classroom can be stressful at times too. A teacher has a lot of responsibilities beyond teaching such as planning engaging activities and preparing for them. Despite all of these challenges, I enjoy working with children an...

The Learning Theory My Teacher Uses the Most

I have been helping in a fifth grade classroom during English Language Arts (ELA). The first day I was in the classroom, the teacher mostly used the learning theory Constructivism to help her students learn about story structure. She did use the Smart Board to show the students a slide with the definition of story structure. It was something like "how a story is organized." The students wrote a definition of story structure in their ELA notebooks (that each student keeps in their desk). I walked around to help make sure the students were writing this down in their notebooks. (There are several ELL students in this classroom). She began her lesson with orally retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears but only talked about Goldilocks. She then asked the students if her story was very interesting. She asked "Was that a boring or interesting story?" The class answered in unison that it was boring (based on their own experiences with stories). She then wro...

At Provost Elementary there are a lot of English Language Learners. Most of them are Spanish speakers. Some come to the school not knowing any English at all and others have parents that speak Spanish to them in the home. Some parents don't speak any English so the student has to rely on the English they learn at school to help them with their assignments. At this school I do see lots of support for ELL students. They all take a test called the World Class Instructional Design and Assessment or WIDA. This assesses where the students are in their English proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. They are given scores from novice to proficient in levels of 1-5. Provost also has several teachers who speak Spanish although not all of them do. Some ELL students receive one on one individual English tutoring each day. The tutor works with them on vocabulary and also encourages them to try to speak more English. Other ELL students receive some accommodations on tests. Fo...
