This unit was all about managing the classroom. It began with explaining the importance of eye contact, using gestures, and the appropriate voice to use when teaching.
It then moved on to discuss the various ways to group students together (whole class, students working on their own, pair work and group work) and the pros and cons of each. It also discussed a few different classroom arrangements (rows, horseshoe/circle, individual tables) and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
On the topic of classroom management issues, tactics for writing on the board, ways to give individual attention, tips for giving instructions and establishing rapport were the subtopics that were discussed. Maintaining the discipline of the classroom was another important topic which provided potential problems, prevention and response solutions that should be utilized to maintain order with your class.
I never thought about these sorts of things in such depth before this unit. For example, I knew there were different ways to organize desks, but I never considered the learning implications that each one provides. I always looked at that from more of a "room aesthetic" standpoint. They are important factors to consider.
