Scopes Getting to Know Your Students Anecdotal Records Stimuli Classroom Management Time-on-Task Studies

Getting to Know your Students How well do you know your students? How well have you become acquinted with each child in your class? What should we know about our students?

Interest Inventory Student’s world in general – Siblings – Pets – Prized possesions Now how many sibling/iPhone/guns/computers do you have?

Hobbies, interests, collections, special abilities Television habits – Viewing frequency, favorite shows Reading habits – Frequency, types of books, use of library Personal experiences – General preferences or specific inquiry Personal goals and wishes Personal feelings or reactions to the situations

Anecdotal Records Many teachers rely on test scores and evaluations of work performances as the primary sources of data for assessing their students’ needs. While extremely valuable, the information from these sources tends to be rather one- dimensional in comparison with the insights children can provide about themselves through their language and behavior.

Anecdotal records provide a systematic, ongoing journal of students really are. 1. LAURA9/8 Hit Mark, who was working on a puzzle. She said she did not know why she did it. (10.00 am., Independent work) 2. LAURA9/14 selected Louise as partner: played well together 2.25 pm., self-selection

Anecdotal records Can be designed and managed in a number of ways Can be used with elementary students to high school students. You can observe students’ behavior and use this information for classroom research that you must do in 2 nd semester during internship.

stimuli How can we make students interest all period of teaching? Let’s discuss - you have 5-10 minutes, the best answer can go to the next round!

Four Categories of Stimuli Environmental – Students’ response to sound, light, temperature, seating arrangement and classroom design. Emotional – Students’ motivation toward school work, persistence, responsibility, and need for structure Social Students’ preference for working alone, with one peer, with several peers, with adults, or some combination. Physical Students’ perceptual preferences, needs for food intake or mobility, and time preferences

Discussion  Use the thinking map and try to answer these questions by putting the answer in the map.  You can create your own thinking styles too. Let’s be creative!  Which stimuli should we use when we teach?.  Which stimuli do you think work best and in what situation?

Classroom Management Backfire Techniques Raising voice YellingSaying “I’m the boss here” Body language, rigid posture Insulting, humiliating, embarassing Act superiorPhysical force Double standard PreachingMaking assumption BribingBring up unrelated events AccusationsHold a grudge Nagging Throw a temper, tantrum Mimicked students RewardsCommand, demand

6 Classroom Discipline Techniques 1. Focusing – Get your students’ attention 2. Direct Instruction – Begin each class by telling students exactly what will be happening – Uncertainty increases the level of excitement! 3. Monitoring – Get up and get around the room – Check on students’ progress

Non-Verbal cuing – Facial Expressions, body posture, and hand signals 6. Environmental Control – Students enjoy an environment that changes periodically.

Pull out your thinking hats. You are about to use your brain, your mind, your past experiences, and your creativity to answer these questions. You will think of these following questions…

Let’s think! Situation 1 : There are students fighting. Ones hurt the other. Some students get hurt and injured… Let’s think! What should you do?

Let’s think! Situation 2: You ask questions and nobody answer or listen to you What should you do?
