Tuesday (PM) Review of a Classroom Management Plan
For this blog entry you are going to be asked to review a classroom management plan taken from the Charles book.
As we have noted from the literature this is one of the most significant areas in mentoring new teachers. As such, triangulating the question of classroom management would certainly be an aspect of the profession an effective mentor teacher would be capable & willing to impart.
I would like you to do the following:
1. Read your assigned chapter (they are less than 20 pages).
2. As you read I would like you to think about what classroom management advice suggestions, protocols might help a new teacher you have been assigned to. As always, consider the context of where you teach, demographics, school climate/culture...
3. Blog---your blog should spell out your answer to number 2. Be sure spell out the author and name of your classroom management plan. Finally, what are your personal perceptions of this plan? How does your thinking and approach to the CM plan compare to the one you read about?
