Classroom Management
My classroom management is a lot different from what I said I would do in my classroom management plan. The biggest thing is that I do not really follow the rules and consequences posted in my room. My goal in class is not usually not complete silence. I allow the kids to talk usually until I say "No more talking." Only at that point do I start issuing consequences. I cannot say that this is a very good idea. It usually takes me a couple of minutes to calm every thing down before I start issuing consequences, and this is a huge waste of time. I also havent quite figured out how to deal with sleeping in class. I often just let bad kids sleep. Bad, I know. I think I shall probably have to change things up significantly.
