Blog: Excessive Talking. . . Classroom Management
Date: 20 April 2009
Topic: Strategies for Classroom Management, Consequences and Rewards
I empathized with this teacher because she is a first-year teacher like myself experiencing the pointless channels of discipline. She has tried the calls home, the detention, and the hallway conversations only to find out that none of those strategies work. In addition, I have looked at other teachers and wonder what I am doing wrong when I walk past their classrooms to find the children are working using a proper volume. I ask them what they do and what works, but I have not found something that is effective. Thus, I have relented. I hope for the best, but I prepare for the worse.
Also, I understand the feeling of helplessness that one might feel when they management is lacking. There are all these ideas, fun activities, and experiments worth trying, but they cannot be done because of the class behaviour.
