Classroom Management


Most parents and teachers do not think that a student spends the majority of his or her time with their teacher throughout a school year.  With this in mind, a teacher should ensure that the students in class are on their best behavior.  This article tells about how a teacher can create a safe, happy, orderly environment to learn.  A teacher should treat all of his/her students the same, no one student should be singled out in any way.  All students should be able to approach, talk with and express themselves to their teacher.  Teachers should make every effort in resolving an issue in the classroom instead of sending troubled students to the office to have someone else deal with the troubled student. 

A teacher should always try to keep a positive environment for students, check to see how students are doing(one on one) and do not ever label a student as “bad” or “unruly”.  Talk with students that are out of line privately vise talking in front of everyone, keep a positive attitude with all students and make sure as a teacher to let go of any resentment that might be held for a troubled student.  At the beginning of the school year, develop class rules but let the students assist in the creation of the rules and ensure that all parents are given a copy of the class rules so they are kept in with the management of the classroom as well.  It is a team effort with the teachers, students and parents to ensure a classroom runs smoothly throughout a school year.

    This was a great article to choose for a student who is considering teaching. I think it has a lot of good advice for anyone who is learning about the field.

    What a great article! It had so many true points that I think all teachers should try and implement in their classrooms. No student should feel like they are left out, or don't feel comfortable talking to their teacher. There is so many classrooms like this, and it makes me sad. I want my students to feel like their classroom is their second home, and they can come to me for anything.

EDUC 337 Week # 4

Hello group!      I really wish I would have known we were going to use this particular subject for our blog post because I have one heck of a "I did not get my way" story.  I will start in 2012 when I got out of the Marine Corps, I served 13 years, took that summer off to relax and hang out with my son.  I started my college adventure that fall, I loaded up on classes and pushed through to complete my associates degree after four semesters.  I had my daughter in January of 2014 so I was only in one class for that spring semester but was able to push through to more courses that summer and fall.  Spring of 2015, I was almost finished with my education courses I needed but this is when everything fell apart.      I was rocking and rolling toward my bachelors degree and finishing all of my schooling, so excited and could not wait to start teaching.  It all changed that Mother's day with a phone call from my mother in law ...

Class Reflection #1

Hello class! I enjoyed meeting everyone new tonight and those of you that were in previous classes.  I also enjoyed hearing about everyone's favorite teacher.  Most of the class definitely has had some very positive individuals that have helped to guide them into teaching or had a very positive role model.  I think it is awesome to have some of the same experiences as I have had throughout my college courses.  It is fun to hear everyone's adventures!

EDUC 337 Post # 3

Hello group!      As always, I enjoyed class tonight!  By going over word walls and having a quick thought on creating a lesson plan really got my mind going.  I really enjoyed that because it was a quick learning tool that opened my eyes to very different words and how to use them in a classroom.       Creating a mini lesson plan about a writing lesson almost blew my mind though!  I felt like we needed about 15 more minutes but I was able to learn a lot about thinking quickly on my feet about different teaching ideas used during this assignment.       Unfortunately, technology was not our friend last night so the last portion of class was pretty confusing so I plan on going back over the power point to make sure I do not miss out on anything.  I think I have my unit lessons planned in my head, I have started my 100 questions and I hope to start/finish a lot this weekend.  We will see....
