Hello Classmates: The two strategies my host teacher used during my field experience are breaks and praises. She also has them do morning work with a coloring page with what they are going to learn that day. She always makes sure that she praises the students with good behavior because she is trying to get the few kids that don't have good behavior to take after the students with the good behavior. Also she has them do morning work on what they are going to learn so they can have some background knowledge. That is a good thing to do because of the students that don’t have the simple background knowledge. Now when the students. When the students are on the carpet and answer a question she gives them a prize and a high five ticket. Even if the students are ready to learn and raise their hand she gives them high five tickets. Now for an example she asked the students to walk back to their seats and get out their journals and pencils and get them to get out on their desk and have ready hands. There were some students that followed directions and there were some that did not follow directions. The ones that followed the directions she said she liked how they followed the directions. The ones that did not she made them redo the directions that were given to see if they could follow them the second time. She has a corner in her room for students that need breaks individually. She gave the students a 5 minute break in between ELA and Math so that they could be ready for Math. That is a good idea because those students' little minds need those breaks. While they have these breaks they can go to different groups and play or even dance to a kid friendly song. Doing the brain breaks helped the students to be focused and stay on task (PBIS World.com). I will agree with this statement because they become very confused if they jump from ELA into Math. The two suggestions for the classroom management and community building that I would add to the classroom if I were the teacher as a model and set simple clear rules. She has rules but they are a bit long. I think the rules need to be a bit smaller so the students can read them daily. When it comes to the teacher as a model, it is very important for the teacher to present the lesson with a lot of enthusiasm so that the students get really excited. If the teacher is going over the lesson very palin without any enthusiasm the students will lose interest very quickly. I have seen this and I said something and she finds that it worked. She was very happy that I gave her that suggestion. If the students get the rules shorter and more clear it will help with their social behavior and academics. It will cause the students to have much better behavior in school and want to follow the rules. It allows them to be able to work much better in the classroom and they have a better understanding of what is right and wrong (Sieberer, 2016). I will agree with that statement because some students need that because they all don’t know right from wrong before attending school. I will say that my suggestion could transfer to an online learning environment and I say that because the teacher could show enthusiasm online as well. There are a few ways
the teacher could show enthusiasm. The first way is asking the students to share something fun they did over the weekend or holiday breaks. Then the other thing that she already does is ask the students to share the knowledge they have on the lesson before even doing the lesson. When it comes to the clear rules. I will post them daily to remind the students of the rules and I will pick 2-3 students to read them to the class! I would also fill in the blank on the sentences of the rules. Then have them match the word with the definition. References: Sieberer-Nagler, K. (2016). Effective classroom—management and positive teaching.Links to an external site. Links to an external site.
