Domain 6 Management of Time, Classroom, and Behavior
10:30-11:10 a.m.
Elaboration:
Today during math I tried a few new things. I tried to walk around more during the lesson and also had the children work back on the carpet for a part of the lesson. I think having them move around and utilizing the full classroom helped them stay on task and more engaged. I also had students help pass things out and kept moving. The kids were learning a new concept that was a bit tricky, but I think because we did a little less during the lesson helped as well. I also walked around throughout the lesson more than usual to monitor.
Analysis:
Seeing the difference these things made, I will continue to implement these things into my math lessons so that I can more carefully monitor what my students are learning. By planning a little less, I have more time to monitor. Students who are struggling get help and if I checked the more advanced students' work they were allowed to move on instead of wait. Although some students finished almost everything, I think it still worked better. I may have some tools for practicing multiplication facts of another form of enrichment available for those kids.
