How will you address
classroom management in the final weeks of school? Will you change anything? What kind of
positive incentive plan will you implement in your classroom? How will you communicate it to students and
parents?
My classroom management has progressively gotten worse over the course of the year. I started out the year really strong and did well holding students to behaving while still keeping the class fun and the atmosphere positive. In order to get back on track I rearranged the seating chart last week. Coming back from Thanksgiving, I'm going to be contacting parents more and talking to students 1-on-1 about behavior. One thing that has been bugging me too lately is that there are always people observing my class and I just don't feel comfortable giving consequences and correcting student behavior when people are in my classroom. Maybe I shouldn't worry about this so much since they were teachers too at one point so I'm sure they would understand. Regardless, I need to be more strict next as I finish the semester.
I know that I don't mind you correcting student behavior when I am there. Better to address it than to let it go. Just be the respectful person you are and get them in line.
