It takes a collaborative effort to keep the classroom from being crazy and unruly. There have been classrooms that I have walked into and it’s clear that the teacher has no control, and then there are also class rooms where the behavior of the students is borderline perfect. Rules, procedures, and routines are the key things to having that quiet controlled classroom. But how do they do it? It must take lot of practice to have everyone in your class give you the respect you deserve as a teacher. I find this to probably be the biggest challenge I will face in the future. I find it difficult to keep control over a number of kids. The bad behavior seems to be contagious and it can get out of hand really quick. The teacher that I observe has her classroom managing skills polished to the T. Her third grade students know the rules and they know the consequence for each time they break a rule. She has the skills that I want to have, I watch her interact with them, her strictness always remains, and they always respect.
