SPED 493/593 Classroom management elective Entirely in Teachlive with flipped classroom instruction except for the first class of the semester Variety of majors
MARZANO ART & SCIENCE OF TEACHING Used domain 1 – DQ 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 – Rules & procedures Engaging students Effective relationships High expectations For each criteria (20 total) 3 ratings each time Self, peer, & professor In Lab 9 times – could teach any subject – had a typical classroom interruption each time (i.e. bullying, fire drill etc.)
DEMONSTRATING “WITHITNESS”
“WITHITNESS”- LEFT GRAPH IN STUDENT TEACHING, RIGHT IN TEACHLIVE
CONCLUSION After comparing the results of SPED 493 with the results from my teacher and I in a real classroom, I can conclude that I am more relaxed and consistent with classroom management. I showed constant and steady growth in all areas. I believe this is because I had more time and was better able to develop relationships with students in my classroom than in the lab.
