  Case: Managing the Class
During your classroom walkthroughs, you visited a 2nd grade classroom. When you walked in, the teacher, Mr. Samsong, was having classroom management problems during instruction. Students were getting up out of their seats without permission, talking to one another, and drawing instead of paying attention to the instruction. In the class, 11 of the 25 students were English learners. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Samsong needs to remember that his students, including the ELL, may not be familiar with his expected rituals and routines. He needs to take the time to explain to his students, in ways that all can understand, his expectations. If he is lacking ideas, he could shadow or ask for help from a peer who excels in classroom management. His students are motivated by different factors and he needs to figure out what motivates each student.

Comments: I believe that this suggestion reflects good teaching practices. Teachers are always learning and can do so by shadowing one another. Also teachers need to develop, explain, and implement procedures in order to lay the groundwork for the expectations of behavior they hold for their classroom.

Comments: This is a great solution for Mr. Samsong. Understanding what gets your students to learn and pay attention is critical to getting them to learn. If he does not know how to get them to listen and follow the rules asking for peer help is always a great strategy.
