While reading this chapter, a lot of the information was review for me, as I am familiar with these methods through my teaching experience and past coursework. Many of my courses in college focused on classroom management. It is extremely important that a teacher has strong classroom management skills, so that students not only feel comfortable, but challenged as well. Many factors play in to this, such as seating arrangements, flexibility in group work or pair work, and the teacher’s rapport with the students. In “The First Six Weeks of School,” the book discusses how to establish a strong classroom community. I found this book to be extremely helpful in my student teaching practicum. Once the teacher establishes a strong rapport with his/her students, instruction should be more effective. It is the teacher’s goal to establish an environment that is safe, relaxed and (appropriately) challenging. When a challenging behavior arises, it is essential to focus on the behavior and not the student. I always like to meet with the child individually and discuss the consequence with the child, and ensure that the consequence fairly matches the behavior. Once the teacher establishes a strong rapport with his/her students, instruction should be more effective. It is the teacher’s goal to establish an environment that is safe, relaxed and (appropriately) challenging. This chapter was a nice review regarding classroom management.
