CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION

My second week in the school was amazing because I had to teach my first English class as a teacher in the school.

I taugth in the eighth grade of the morning. I felt confortable because I rapport with atudents of that grade during the first week I know is a little complicated to tell it, but I created a good relationship with most of the students of that grade.

I liked and I andjoyed teaching beacause I felt very well there. I think the organization in the classroom was bad beacause the desks are so much and the classroom is small, the organization was like the picture below.
You could see that in the clssroom there are so alot of desks and the techer can`t walk around the classroom, so I organized the desks like a semi circle like the picture below.


In that way the teacher can walk around the classroom and to acomplish the students`attention better because there are some students who sit in the end of the classroom.

the students attitude was not bad beacuse they respect me and I respect them, too.
In regard to the classroom management, I read the chapter number 3 and this information about the classroom managment empowers me to look for other ways to manage and create a good climate in the classroom. 

In regard to the classroom organization this chapter helped me to improve the manner to organize the classroom, the reason why I explain in the first paragraph  that I organided the desks in another way  is because I  had read the chapter previously.
I mean that this chapter helped me to put or or ganize the classroom in a way that students feel well.

In reagard to the expectations for student behavior it helped me to create a good relationship with students and help them when they don`t understand anything or need help.
The things that I woul change to create a good climate and improve my teaching are the followings:

CLASS OBSERVATION

Well, in my first week I could see  the English teacher of the school. Everybody is happy to study there and teachers are  happy of working in that school. My Englis teacher is a person who likes to teach  everyday. I liked to see her because she was my English teacher  when I studied there. She is really intelligent and all of the students know it, so they always pay attention when she teaches. I am surprised because she knows a lot about the  materials that I have to use when someone wants to teach. She talked to me  about lesson and she said that she was happy because I chose that  school to do my practice.In fact I feel confortable to be in the school.

I could see that she knows alot of English and she knows how to teach; moreover, she knows how to create a good relationship with students.

A teacher as a person

 

I read the chapter number 2  "Teacher as a person"  I can compare two of  the characteristiscs which are "SOCIAL INTERECTIONS WITH STUDENTS" and "ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TEACHING PROFESSION"
