In my opinion, as a teacher who is back in the classroom, I have gatherd a lot of information from others teachers about management skills that worked for them. I have tried many different approaches, and at this time have found one that is working quite well. I have also found that when I have a good time, the students tend to have a good time. I also have noted that if I talk to them or "with" them about what is important to them (even if it isn't English or Humanities), they repond to what I "need" to them to do much more effectively. I appreciate the times teachers have let me vent when things weren't so good, and offered me encouragement and ideas to make my classroom more effective.
I would like to observe other teachers in their classrooms to see what is effectivley working for them and I invite anyone who would to observe my classroom to feel free to do so. I would love the feed back. I feel that as a teacher, I need peers to let me know what I can do to become better at educating my students.
I also think that as a staff if we work together to help our students, they see us working together cooperatively and are more willing to do the same.
