My Weakness In Classroom Management

894 Words4 Pages

Currently, in my job setting as a substitute teacher, I have found my greatest weakness to be consistency with classroom management. Even as an experienced substitute teacher who arrives early so that I can be prepared for the day, I find it difficult to step into a strange classroom, read over the plans, familiarize myself with the management system currently in place (if it is provided), and attempt to enforce and carry on with a smooth and flawless day. It has been my experience that students quickly push boundaries, and behave in ways that are out of the ordinary when a substitute is present. I need to improve and strengthen my proficiency in classroom management by having strategies that will prevent misbehavior from happening in the first place, and that will stop misbehavior quickly and effectively the first time it happens. …show more content…

Typically each morning I introduce myself to my new group of children, and I remind them that their teacher has given me all of the plans for us to have a successful day. I let them know that I might do things a little different than their classroom teacher, so everyone will need to practice flexibility. However, I have discovered that although I do mention that I have high expectations for my students, I often neglect to clearly communicate what those expectations are. So, my first step toward better classroom management is to be specific when communicating my expectations. Examples may include the following:
“I will call on students who raise their hands.”
“I will teach when I have your attention.”
“We will walk through the hallway once we have a formal line.”
“I will take a quiet class to recess.”
Communicating my expectations by using enforceable statements, will allow me to maintain better control of the

    I also think it is important to communicate to children and young people efficiently so that they understand what you are saying to them. Also you should be available to a child or young person when they want to talk to you and should take interest. Asking questions in the classroom is a good way in which to get all the pupils involved and this way when pupils are involved and no one is left out then this will get everyone together and will start to form stronger relationships with one another. Also when you praise a student for their good work then this will make them feel good and will make them want achieve more. Furthermore it is important not to make comparisons between each student because then this will make the child feel like they are less and this will start to cause problems.

  • Essay On Following Directions

    383 Words  | 2 Pages

    I 've learn from many experiences that people don’t like to repeat themselves when directions are given because that is disrespectful. The Teacher/Leader or etc. shouldn’t have to repeat them self 's more than once, because if you keep being disrespectful like that then that shows that you are not thankful to have them, and they might not want to teach or work with you anymore. Not following directions and rules can be dangerous in many ways. Not following directions can make you lose trust from your friends and without rules and regulations life can be very unorganized, so people use rules to keep track of what 's going on. For example street lights were invented with the intentions to keep people safe, fair, and organized.

  • My Experience In Teaching English

    1663 Words  | 7 Pages

    I believe as teachers of English language we first get our understanding of the English teaching methods and techniques that would later affect our decisions about teaching our own students long before than official academic training begins. In fact, I, as a non-native speaker of English language, have spent at least twelve years learning it, which also means twelve years observing my teachers’ methods and strategies. Therefore, I would first like to describe my experience as a learner of English, then proceed with describing my personal teaching experience and conclude with a reflection on how these influences shaped my beliefs about language and language learning. Traditionally, teacher in Russia is regarded as an authority figure, and learners tend to rely on them to a large extent, therefore approaches that Russian professors adopt are mostly
