Just one piece of advise?
Wow. Just one piece of advice? That’s pretty hard. Well one advice that I would give the teacher is a piece from classroom management, develop a plan. Have a good lesson plan and follow it, do not skip any parts. If you have a plan and stick with it you could accomplish a lot, and you will hopefully not have as much misbehaving. Also I would create a seating chart for the students. It will show the students you are in charge and it will be easier for you to remember their names. I think these advices would be a good starting point for the new CTAE teacher, and of course if they needed any other advice I would let them borrow my NTI binder.
I completely agree with you that classroom management is a must and a great topic of advice for a new teacher. You are right when you say that planning a lesson out in detail and sticking with it is essential. I also agree that seating charts really help with creating an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I spent a lot of my time in the beginning on things I could have easily fixed if I would have just had a plan or been more organized in class. They say "if I only knew then what I know now"--this is so true with classroom management. I am a much better teacher this year than last year and I think it is great advice to pass on to new teachers.
