Today's observation brought to my attention the importance of classroom management. My group and I were privileged to talk to two completely different teachers (both taught science) and see how each of them managed their class. Which by the way was a total shocker! While one teacher had total control of his class the other was nowhere near. As future teachers, we all know it will take time for us to fully get a grasp on classroom management but along the way we must always look for resources to help us out. The most important thing I learned from today's observation is that it all comes down to the teacher and his abilities to handle the situation. The following link has great topics on classroom management; from schoolwide and classroom discipline to techniques that backfire. Classroom management not only will allow us to be effective educators but will also enable our students to effective learners. So don't let the students take control of the situation.
