My procedure for distributing materials will include the students passing papers across the rows not straight up the columns. Students are seated in order across the rows, so that the papers will be in order when they are collected and when it is time to grade them. Additionally, by having the papers pass across desks prevents students from getting poked and it decreases the number of students that need to pass the papers up to the front.

I will provide a copy of my classroom procedures and rules to the expected visitors as they enter or I will provide it to the unexpected visitors on their way out of the classroom. My focus is to continue teaching as I normally do and show the visitors how a effectively managed classroom operates.

    In addressing the behavior of the students, the teacher must utilize least confrontational and effective methods possible to minimize student behavior. The teacher is never allowed to lay hands on the students. The teacher must also recognize the student’s actions may be caused by his or her need rather than something intentional. It is up for the teacher to utilize its resources and its strengths in order to create a well balanced classroom rather than cacophony.…

    Normally, he and I work in the hallway at one of the three tables that are outside the classroom. The environment of the hallway is considerably less distracting than that of the classroom. During my observations of the classroom, I have noticed that the students are talkative and active during reading circle time (FN 1.26.16; 1.28.16; 2.17.15; 2.23.15; 2.25.16). There are frequent passerby, but these intermissions are welcomed by Michael as a quick psychological break from his studies. Children are sent into the hallway for either disciplinary reasons or to work on missing assignments. Frequently, these students have sat at the table where we work (FN 1.21.16; 2.2.16; 2.16.16; 3.8.16). Most of the time, these students are on-task and do not disturb Michael and me. However, on some occasions, the students will try to get Michael’s attention either by striking up a conversation or by saying his name softly to annoy him (FN 3.1.16; 3.8.16). Frequently Ms. Jones provides a worksheet associated with either math or spelling for us to complete during our session. Occasionally, we correct work that is either illegible or done poorly. I also prepare educational activities for Michael to complete with me during our time. Their content has ranged from focusing on basic math facts, place value and reading…

    I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open reading areas. The classroom was set up into different 4 person groups, in which the students were able to work together and collaborate. When I was getting settled into the classroom around 9:00 a.m., the students began to arrive officially starting my…

    Analysis of the Chapter: Managing a classroom comes with a lot to consider and your students are just part of it! As a teacher you must first realize that you are there for a lot more than just teaching a lesson, you are also there to be a meaningful influence to your students and their behavior.

    It was something I did not plan for. For instance in the listening micro lesson, some of them asked questions or asked me to rewind the audio file while they were supposed to be listening to it and do not disturb their colleagues. I have learned that I have to put some rules from the beginning of the session. For instance, I should tell students to write down their questions and wait till the end of the audio file. Besides, these like-real situations helped me to be more comfortable standing up in front of…
