responce to new blog

I have used several of the techniques from the summer class.  I have used proximity control, inserted the child's name into the lesson to gain their attention.  I posted the rules in the class room and that has seemed to help not having to remind them of the rules.  I use several different teaching methods to cover many types of learners.  I try not to lecture every day,  I do use a lot of power points because some of the material has to be specific. 

After the first two weeks covering shop safety and getting the automotive lab open the classes seem to fly by, it really helped to learn the classroom management techniques over the summer.  I move a lot between the classroom and the computer lab and the automotive lab.

I have three first year classes and it helped to learn about physical control as I have all ready have to make some changes in the classroom such as moving students around and creating rows where i can move around the room easier.

You have "a lot of balls" in the air with your three areas. I am glad you are using some of the strategies for moving students and staying in charge. It can be difficult, especially when you are new and have first year students. We are here to assist you as you continue to learn and grow as a new teacher. Dr. J.
