Week 3 Reflections on Practice Workshop: Classroom ManagementPreparation and Draft Outline for Thursday, January 25LocationFor the next four weeks we will be dividing the class into two groups, one starting in the Macintosh computer classroom at 9AM and the other starting in Sem 2 D 1107 at 9AM – and we will switch places between 10:25 and 10:35. In order to share camcorders and our technology skills, you have beenassigned to both a pair and a foursome – the pairs will be available to help each other in the computer classroom and the foursomes will share camcorders. Please check below to see where you start the day, who your partner is, who is in your foursome and whether you are expected to bring a camcorder. Will bring camcorder(s) or make other arrangements with Scott Four- some pairing start in Anna Gold a 1 comp classroomMichael Joshua (has own camera, will bring) a 1 comp classroomSusan Bawn a 2 sem 2Erin Conway a 2 sem 2Sarah Bracken b 3 comp classroomMac Jones (has own camera? will bring) b 3 comp classroomEmily Coulter b 4 sem 2Sacha Renner b 4 sem 2Karyn Ainsworth (has own camera? will bring) c 5 comp classroomJulia Anderson c 5 comp classroomHilary Davis c 6 sem 2Ryan Reilly c 6 sem 2Lauren Faulkenberry d 7 comp classroomNora Strauch Chk out 2 palmcorders d 7 comp classroomBailey Edgley d 8 sem 2Nancy Haddigan d 8 sem 2Katie Agren (has own camera? will bring) e 9 comp classroomKrissy Fleming e 9 comp classroomLauren Graham (has own camera,,no pwr cord) e 10 sem 2Alissa Niemi e 10 sem 2Sally Jamison Chk out 2 palmcorders f 11 comp classroomNicole Laib f 11 comp classroomHeather Kimbrough f 12 sem 2Emma Oliver f 12 sem 2Kate O’Brien Chk out 2 palmcorders g 13 comp classroomSteve Rollert Chk out 2 palmcorders g 13 comp classroomNathan Levans g 14 sem 2Katherine Roundy (has own camera) g 14 sem 2Adeena Chamberlain Chk out 2 palmcorders h 15 comp classroomHannah Pratt Chk out 2 palmcorders h 15 comp classroomSeamus O’Reilly h 16 sem 2Kristen Sluiter h 16 sem 2Todd Sessoms Chk out 2 palmcorders I 17 comp classroomConnie Wood (has own camera) I 17 comp classroomMark Bowden I 18 sem 2Joshua Parker I 18 sem 2Preparing for the computer classroomYou will be creating a short videoclip that portrays, in any light you choose and your existing footage allows, your classroom management experience during student teaching. Bring your videotape (and a camera and firewire cable if possible) to class, and, if you can get access to a camera, please review ahead of time your student teaching videotape, and jot down a few notes about the sections of your tapethat contain footage that gives insight into your classroom management successes and challenges.. Keep in mind that what you will creating this week is a creative, even artistic portrayal of "you and your classroom management" during student teaching. The finished clip will be between 2 and 5 minutes long, including titles and transitions. Very important: at the end of this session you will need toeither save the results of your work as a Quicktime movie to your own thumb drive or a secure server, or have the videoclip-in-progress backed up to the MIT firewire drive to complete next week. Preparing for the workshopThe topic this week is classroom management. Basically, you will be reviewing your own performance during student teaching using the MIT student teaching rubric (included below) and reflecting on the classroom management plan you wrote last spring (to be passed out at the start of the seminar). Please review the rubric and bring your classroom management text from last year to class. Workshop Outline (Draft)1. Review your spring classroom management plan, which included a statement about your beliefs, a description of how you wanted to set up the learning community in your classroom, and strategies for responding to negative student behavior. 2. Form groups of three – as possible, elementary-certified people meet with each other and secondary-certified people meet with each other – and share with each other how well you were able to implementyour classroom management plans during student teaching in all 3 of the main areas addressed in the plans (during this time we will also return some of the support materials you turned in along with the classroom management plans last year). 3. Take some individual time to reflect on your performance during student teaching in reference to the classroom management sections of the MIT rubric. 4. Meet back with your group of 3 to talk about your self-assessment. 5. Throughout your individual and group time, you are encouraged to jot down notes – keeping in mindthe outcome of this workshop will be a one page statement about how your ideas about classroom management have evolved since your wrote you classroom management plan last spring – including some discussion about what you have learned that will guide you in your future classroom management. During our 90 minute workshop, you will meet in groups of 3 to discuss1. how closely you followed your plan2. how successful you were in classroom management3. areas you would most like to improve4. ideas for how to improveYour discussion will culminate in each person developing a 1-2 page written reflection that contains your thoughts on each of the above ideasReference Materials:II. Assignment From Last SpringWrite a classroom management plan that identifies your beliefs and concrete plans for structuring the classroom in a way that supports all students’ learning. This plan should include: 1. A philosophical statement on your beliefs about classroom management. 2. A description of how you will set up your classroom and teaching so that students participate ina learning community that supports student learning and well-being. 3. A description of how you intend to encourage and respond to students and how you will manage students that are behaving negatively in your class.
