Classroom Management

My class has a standard management plan. I think this is important because often in kindergarten students are learning the boundaries of what is alright and what is not. The rule is that if you are disrespectful,rude, or acting out you must move your name down the paper. This is very effective for the children and they have the fear of their parents getting the call. Another management is separating the children that are more talkative is around other people. This could be a problem because it isolates them but the class does enough thinks that it makes it alright. Finally, since many of the problems for these children is dealing with cutting in lines and always being first. The teacher ensures that cutting is not tolerated and if you do you sit down and have to walk back. Also, there is a specific person that gets to walk in the front of the line to ensure that every child gets a chance.

Teaching Strategies

I feel that my favorite technique that I have seen my teacher do would be having small groups. Right now she is able to have two groups and another teacher to help with the trouble students or the students that are struggling with. This works well so that everyone is getting the attention they need. The only problem with this is that the students become segregated on their learning ability. This technique is hard to do because you need to have the right budget. I would want to try to do this in my class.
