Blog #16 Video

Sandra Jenoski:
            She starts on day #1 with the practice and routine for 6 to 8 weeks.  The students will become more independent after that time.  Teacher need to spend time and talk to the students to get to know them and let them know what is expected of them.  If you do not talk to them about the expectations, it will not be a good efficient learning classroom and students get in to trouble when they do not know what is expected of them.  
Voncille Ross:
            Developing a circle builds a sense of community, trust and acceptance in the classroom. 
Shaina Martinez:
            Listen to the students. The students will trust you when you genuinely listen to them about their concerns or successes.  Build a good relationship with them and make them feel welcome to come and share with you.

            Making groups, take the time to think about your options and making sure all the students participate and are learning.
            Many of the management skills are different because of the students’ ages.  When you have a community circle, it is a great thing for the students to make the classroom feel comfortable and safe but I also think teachers need consider the age of the students.  In elementary school, it might take more time with the lower grades than the upper grades because of the student’s maturity level.  Students from upper grades are more mature and it would be possible to have this as part of the class. Shaina Martinez’s students want the teacher to listen to them and to be respected.  I think you need to consider the grade level and maturity of students before making a management plan for the class. Student involvement is needed in order to make a classroom of learning.
Video #2:
The advice that Amy gives new teachers is to learn the experiences to be able to deal with any situation that might arise.  What works and what does not work and how can you improve as a teacher.  Have a sensible set of expectations for the students.  Be fair, clear and consistent with the rules and expectations.
