Your management style has ...Haha, you crack me up! Your management style has always been a strength, so I find it strange that this year would be different than others. You read your students well and know the difference between noise for the sake of noise and noise that shows engagement and learning. You do always change and evolve your teaching to fit your classroom, but I really don’t see you changing your patience level or your understanding of kids, so once again, I would have to agree it’s the tables in your room. There is a lot of open space in your room and the kids use it well both physically and “scientifically” (sound like you have a science experiment in the making). This is not to say you don’t have an occasional loud child (probably mine) or occasional loud moment in your room – but they are not a constant driving out the instruction. I would bet by February you will have embraced this “loudness” as your new norm and it will go unnoticed. It’s hard to complain when you have great learning and thinking going on in the classroom. Now I should address this teacher friend who tries to escape with a quick wave and a smile… but that sounds like it might be trouble. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
