Case: Student's Respect Last semester I interned in a first grade class. The class was a bit... lively, but my CT managed it very well. Whenever she was not the one in charge of the class however, the students became instantly unruly. After watching the class I learned this was not just a problem I had as an intern, but also one other teachers seemed to have. When I was in charge I used every tactic and reward/discipline system my CT used, but that didn't seem to make a difference in their behavior. While my teaching time wasn't a total disaster I was very frustrated when trying to manage them. What do you suppose I could have done to help keep the disruptions to a minimum? Was it right to use my CT's exact style? Or should I have tried my own form of discipline/management? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think it is hard to go into a classroom and try to take over and manage it. I think that you should have used your own style and made it fun for the students. They are in first grade and they need a discipline/management system that will work for them and make them work for you. I was in Kindergarten for my first internship and my CT had a "beehavior" chart with bee's that she would put on green, yellow, and red depending on their behavior. If the students stayed on green all week, they would get a prize from the treasure chest. If they were on red, they would get a phone call home or a write up. This really seemed to work for the kids. |
