Managing class room is very important, having experience Demo teaching. I have learned there are many different factors in managing a good class. Being on time, appearance, and engaging students at beginning of class. A simple Hello how are you today before lesson starts when coming in. To me it’s important to connect with each student when possible.
Next is getting their attention after seated. Doing allot of eye contact with the class while engaging. This unit says if no eye contact normally a student is distracted or just not paying attention is true. So with eye contact I let them know I see all of them and they see me. I also use allot of hand gestures to ensure they are watching me to help explain some ideas or factors.
I assess each class on the age level of learning and try to bring myself a little below their level of learning. And try to raise it up a little bit at a time. Starting a class I try to do instructional talk but as quickly as I can get to a small discussion of what’s to come and get the students involved asking questions. It makes them interested in the study phase. Problems in the class I always try to tend to them immediately and try to keep student awareness vary low.
Grouping student in small groups I find works better then pairs especially in a medium size class or bigger. I have used the Horse shoe seating a few times as well as circle but only for small classes.It gives a more one on one feeling to students.
