Edit
Tomorrow is the first off 24-hour interval of our 2nd semester! And, I'm thence excited! If you lot would receive got asked me on Lord's Day if I was create to become dorsum to school, I would receive got responded amongst a definitive no. Today (Monday) was a professional person day. I spent the first off 2 hours of the forenoon inwards a preparation close how to purpose a computer program provided past times the Oklahoma Department of Education to furnish benchmark exams for our students. If I had access to technology scientific discipline as well as time, I would survive all over this. But, I instruct inwards a schoolhouse that doesn't receive got a figurer lab that nosotros tin accept students to. And, I've got a 1 grand m things to instruct earlier EOI time. After the training, nosotros were given the residue of the 24-hour interval to run inwards our classrooms as well as finalize first off semester grades.
I took downwards all of my Christmas decorations which is a niggling sad. I tidied upwards my room some, too. It was only equally messy equally I left it on the Fri earlier break. Imagine that! I typed upwards my lesson plans for the week. And, thence I started planning interactive notebook pages, writing quizzes, as well as making Smart Board files. That's when I started to acquire excited close seeing my kiddos tomorrow. I've missed my students. I've missed my coworkers. I've missed the whole schoolhouse environment. After 2 weeks of relaxation, I'm create to boundary dorsum into business office notation, logarithms, as well as probability distributions.
This schoolhouse year, 1 of my goals was to receive got my students reverberate on the course of teaching at the goal of each 9-weeks. At the goal of the first off 9-weeks, I gave a survey that I receive got yet to weblog about. Oops... And, some of the answers were kinda funny. I may silent weblog close it. Better belatedly than never, right? I mentioned this survey to @druinok at 1 of the math teacher's circles that nosotros attended. She said it sounded similar the perfect chance to receive got students reverberate on things to keep, things to change, things to start, as well as things to stop. In all actuality, I don't know if she mentioned ALL 4 of those things or worded it that exact way. I was having problem remembering, thence I turned to google for some advice. I couldn't discovery it on her blog, but I flora it mentioned on some other weblog that has absolutely zippo to create amongst teaching. Anyway, I liked it, as well as I'm going for it!
I typed upwards a page for my students to fill upwards out. I gave them 3 lines for each category: Keep, Change, Start, Stop. I may or may non regret this. My rationale was that if I lay 3 lines, thence students should give me 3 answers. We'll come across how that works. I idea close having students flexure a slice of newspaper inwards quarters as well as label each quarter amongst the dissimilar categories. This would give students to a greater extent than room to write. But, some students would probable alone write a unmarried give-and-take or phrase inwards the section. I'm looking for to a greater extent than feedback than that.
I desire to survive a amend teacher. I desire to know what my students similar (KEEP). I desire to know what they don't similar (STOP). I desire to know what they think I could create a amend labor at (CHANGE). And, I desire to know what they think would brand our course of teaching a amend learning environment/experience (START). I think I am going to acquire to a greater extent than constructive feedback from this reflection cast than ones I receive got used inwards the past times because it explicitly asks students to focus on positive as well as negative feedback.
If you lot would similar to purpose the cast I made inwards your class, I receive got uploaded it at the bottom of this post!
My plans are to create bellwork, proficient things (a Mon tradition - but a professional person 24-hour interval on Mon agency that nosotros must create proficient things on Tuesday lest my course of teaching rebel), transcend dorsum the residue of the graded papers from first off semester, as well as thence give students 7-8 minutes to reverberate as well as furnish me amongst valuable feedback.
Once students receive got told me what they would similar for me to keep, change, start, as well as stop, I receive got a surprise for them. I'm going to part amongst them my ain keep, change, start, as well as halt resolutions for the upcoming schoolhouse year. For the past times few months, I've known that I demand to brand some changes to how I run my classroom.
I likely shouldn't denote this for the entire footing (and perchance my boss as well as coworkers) to read. But, I'm going to anyway. I'm terrible at classroom management. The yr ever starts off pretty well. But, pretty soon, my kids halt beingness scared of me. And, they laid about goofing off. And, my threats as well as punishments don't seem to stage them. I run truly difficult to furnish them amongst fun, creative, meaningful learning experiences, as well as I goal upwards feeling to a greater extent than disrespected than valued. I'm young. I'm the antithesis of intimidating. And, I'm way equally good overnice as well as patient.
I've allow students walk over me for way equally good long. And, I've decided that a novel semester is the perfect fourth dimension to create something close it.
KEEP HELPING STUDENTS. (But, I'm going to halt babying students.) [This is some other post inwards itself. To lay it briefly, I had a lot of students neglect in conclusion semester. A LOT. And, I was to a greater extent than worried close it than they were. If a students is concerned close their grade, they volition come upwards come across me. And, I volition assist them. But, I'm non going to become rail downwards students as well as forcefulness them to come upwards into my classroom to brand upwards run whatsoever more. I've made it really clear that I am hither earlier school, later school, as well as at dejeuner to assist them. They are going to receive got to accept first to seek assist if they demand it.]
CHANGE HOW I GRADE NOTEBOOKS. My students don't receive got textbooks. Our interactive notebooks are our textbooks. I graded thence many sad notebooks that were missing numerous pages. Those are notes that my students volition never survive able to reference. If I truly think that these notes are important, I demand to brand certain that every unmarried educatee has every unmarried page. So, I'm going to brand things a whole lot easier on myself inwards the realm of grading notebooks. Each notebook volition either survive a 0% or a 100%. If students create non brand a hundred, they tin consummate their notebook as well as resubmit it. I'm non going to give partial credit for doing constituent of what I assigned. My students demand to realize only how seriously I accept our notebooks. Maybe my students volition wake upwards to how of import our notebooks are when they come across what a 0% does to their grade!
START DEMANDING RESPECT FROM MY STUDENTS. I don't paw out a lot of punishments inwards my classroom. I brand a lot of threats. But, they don't seem to create much good. I've got a novel excogitation for treatment disrespect. When I come across a educatee doing something I deem disrespectful toward me, my classroom, or my time, I am going to paw them a cast to fill upwards out. The cast asks them 4 questions. I learned close these 4 questions towards the laid about of the yr at 1 of our professional person evolution trainings on classroom management. It's based on a computer program called Capturing Kids' Hearts. What were you lot doing? What were you lot supposed to survive doing? Were you lot doing it? What are you lot going to create close it now? I phrased the questions inwards the past times tense because I volition survive handing the students the cast to fill upwards out. The questions are intended to survive asked aloud inwards the acquaint tense: What are you lot doing? What are you lot supposed to survive doing? Are you lot doing it? What are you lot going to create close it? I'm non going to telephone band the educatee out. I'm no going to ground close whether the educatee is inwards the correct or inwards the wrong. No, they volition fill upwards out the form. And, we'll beak close it. There's the possibility that perchance I misunderstood what they were doing as well as they truly meant no disrespect. If so, I volition gladly apologize. This gives me a newspaper trail as well as documentation. And, I similar that it forces students to think close what their adjacent activity is supposed to be. If I receive got repeat problems amongst a student, I tin part amongst their parents what the work is inwards their child's ain words. I receive got a feeling I volition become through a lot of these inwards the first off calendar week of implementation. But, I think if I am describe of piece of work solid as well as stick amongst it, students volition realize only how much I hateful business. Students volition honor me. They volition non beak piece I am trying to teach. They volition non come upwards to course of teaching late. They volition non waste materials time. I deserve respect.
STOP TOLERATING CELL PHONES. Our students are non supposed to receive got their jail cellular telephone phones out inwards class. If a educatee has a jail cellular telephone telephone out, I am allowed to confiscate it for withal long I wishing to. With most students, jail cellular telephone phones are non a problem. But, I receive got a few students who insist on snapchatting inwards the middle of class. Yes, I come across you. It's obvious that you're taking a selfie when I'm standing 3 feet away from you, explaining how to convert from logarithmic to exponential form. Since I receive got some students who create non know the departure betwixt appropriate as well as inappropriate times to purpose their jail cellular telephone phones, I've decided to halt tolerating them at all. If I come across a jail cellular telephone phone, I am taking it AND calling their parents. I don't tending if it's 1 of my top students or 1 of the students who is the ground behind this novel rule. I'm going to lay a box on my desk. Any educatee who doesn't think they receive got the self-control to remain off their telephone for the 50-minute course of teaching current is to a greater extent than than welcome to house their telephone inwards the box. I don't loathe jail cellular telephone phones. I loathe disrespect. And, using your jail cellular telephone telephone when I'm teaching is a sign of disrespect.
