I had the Fred Jones Model for classroom management and found it helpful. Among his target goals for behavior management I thought "Setting the Stage" was most effective. This included: Setting up the room to facilitate learning, talking to parents, awareness of classroom disruptions, posted and reviewed rules that are taught and enforced consistently. In my experience, parent contact has been extremely helpful with behavior, especially if contact begins with positive comments for the student.
I too had the Fred Jones model and I liked several of the suggestions. I really have started using the pause,praise and leave technique and I have noticed that it keeps the kids on task and I have had less talking when they are doing work.
Lesleigh Mausi: After taking the test, I found that I was Authoritative in Classroom management style. I'm Pretty satisfied with that, and found that it was an accurate snapshot of my management style. I also saw a lot of similarity in Harry Wong's article where he discusses the difference between discipline and classroom management. I find it imperative that I set up my board with the lesson steps for the day, so my students know what to expect. It helps them self-pace during the hour because they know what we must accomplish before it's time to go. Wong emphasized displaying an agenda, and this helps so much with management. I learned a lot from this wiki.
Thanks for the input! I liked the Fred Jones model, too. It was concise. I think if I were in the classroom again, I would use a lot of Wong and some of the others. Diana Franklin
My group had 1-2-3 magic. I personally do not think this would work on the middle or high school levels. The 1, 2, 3 counting method is geared more towards pre school and elementary. Of course the author of the book is going to tell you, " Oh it can work for all ages!" But lets be realistic can you imagine yourself counting in your classroom and your students accually responding. I dont see it happening. A. J. Johnson
Our goal for professional development this year is to meet the specific needs of members of our Professional Learning Community. After each professional development opportunity, participants are asked to reflect and then comment on the presentation and on the implementation of the strategies in your classroom.
We believe we can build a core of professional knowledge that will benefit each of us.
Additionally, independent professional development will be offered online. Staff members who participate in online p.d. should write a reflection of their work on the blog.
