Where’s the puck ?
October 27, 2008 — paulgray123Annie’s post-“Skate to where the puck should be” makes me reflect back to the dimension of Classroom management named “WITH-IT-NESS” .
“Effective classroom management involves being with-it,maintaining focus and time management” -Educational Psychology p434Woolfolk& Margetts
‘With-it’ teachers are in tune with their students.They anticipate trouble before it arises ,they have eyes in the back of their head.-Educational Psychology p434 Woolfolk& Margetts
I learnt the hard way that my ‘with-it’ skills needed fine tuning during my prac. It’s definitely a major focus of next year. A skill I want to have razor sharp.
