Cody High School

Mr. Troy Wiant

Hours: 4 hours


March 4th

  • Grade Papers
  • Observe Classes
March 6th
  • Observe Classes
  • Help with livestock judging reasons practice


Elaboration:

    As I went into the high school two different times this week it felt like short visits but it was a total of four hours. I got to help Mr. Wiant to grade papers, but also worked with some students on one-on-one work through both visits. These included helping with agriculture math problems with the students and livestock judging reasons. I also got to observe Mr. Wiant having good relations with his students and showing that he cared about his students. Many different students come into the classroom not during their periods with him to talk and ask him questions. Mr. Wiant also has such good relations with students to have good behaviors too, he makes sure they are on task and need to get their work done with positivity.

Reflection:

    In reflection, I have discovered I like working with small groups or one-on-one work with students. On the first day I visited I got to work with some students with agriculture math problems. They were finishing a worksheet they got assigned the week before. It was about different math problems consisting of vaccine measurement's, grain hauling weights, and many more different problems. The students were engaged with all the problems and wants to figure them out.

    The next day I was there I also got to work with two different students with livestock judging reasons. Two students gave me sets of reasons, then I gave them different pointers to help them improve. They were eager to learn about how to improve and learn more livestock terms or ways I give reasons. The two students were also kind of nervous and were hesitant on letting me listen and help them. I still think they wanted to learn and like my little pointers for them. Both of my visits in the classroom were great learning and observing time.

         My first visit with Mr. Wiant in the agriculture classroom in the high school was good! I got to talk to Mr. Wiant about times that would work for me to be in the classroom and all about the practicum handbook/program. Mr. Wiant and the students were very welcoming to me. I got to know some of his FFA officers pretty well and talked about their futures as most of them are seniors. It was a chill and welcoming first visit. All the Cody High School staff was very welcoming as well!!        I went and helped teach a lesson for the first time to the to the middle schoolers  about animal identification . It was so fun to meet and interact with all of students! They are a great group of students that are interactive and show interest in learning about agriculture. We did three different hands on activities with the students after teaching them about identifiction on livestock. The first one was letting them make their own brand a...

During all his different classes he is good at connecting with every student in the class and asking how their lesson could relate to their lives. Like for example part of his lesson he was asking students about what livestock diseases are common in cattle and horse. He personally asked one student what disease they have most common in their cattle herd, but then later asked another student about if she has had any of the diseases discussed in her horses. He stills shows interest in the students who aren't as involved in agriculture too, still asking them if they kne...

     In Mr. Wiant's classroom this week I got to observe for different class periods that were the first year agriculture class, animal science, and plant science.       I got to observe his management strategies with his classes. Each class has the routine of getting their note taking books out of the back cabinets in his classroom, then sit and pay attention to what Mr. Wiant has planned for the day. He makes sure there is no funny business going on and starts teaching. Mostly lectures to the students but makes sure to asks question to keep the students engaged as much as he can.
