For the classroom management project I choose the right and wrong way to begin the class first thing  in the morning.  First thing in the morning I believe is always hectic for the teacher and students . This is because everyone is always doing something . The students are either turning in their homework , ordering lunch, and putting away their belonging. This just calls for interruptions and  allows the students to get off track . In the first videos which is the wrong way I present a teacher unsuccessfully trying to get the  the attention of her students but she has lost the control of the class. We can clearly see that the teacher has raise her voice and has become agitated because her students are ignoring her . This is because she gave then just enough time to begin personal conversations that has nothing to do with their  studies . At one point when can see that one of the girls shows disrespect to the teacher and her class . She says ," I hate this this class and this class is so boring ."  The response of the teacher is negative. As we all could imagine having all this commotion first thing in the morning its not so good for the teacher . I think that this represents that how the rest of the teacher would go for the teacher and  the students because they began their day on the "wrong side of the bad." Could you imagine beginning you day like that ?    

On the second video I made the attempt to show the correct way for classroom management. I believe that its very important that a teacher shows that she is in control of her class. The students need to know that in the morning before the teaching begins they  need to order lunch, pass homework and put their belonging in their lockers quickly . They also need to know that this time is not meant for students to socialize and lose control. I believe that they need to know that conversations are limited and that they should be ready to begin their classwork immediately .  From the very beginning students need to know that the teacher is in charge of the  classroom and that their would be consequences if they choose not to listen and fallow directions . By having the rules set from the very beginning the students would know that the expectations of the teacher throws them and their behavior are pretty high.    
Lastly , I believe that every classroom teacher should set high expectation of their students and had a set routine enforce in the classroom.  By doing so the student knows from the very beginning that in their classroom that are positive and negative reinforcement . If they choose to not fallow and not to listen to their teacher they should know that their actions would bring in negative reinforcement. However , if they do listen and get to work quickly after doing their morning routine then they would know that rewards would be on their way . By rewards it could be anywhere from ," great job getting ready class" and if they do it the whole week then maybe they could choice a fun activity to do at the end of the week .  I   believe that its very important for the student to know that any action positive/negative has a reaction .

  1. You show some obvious differences in the attitude of the teacher, but in fairness to the teacher who was more demanding, the students are misbehaving. The students in the correct way video are complying. I think you explained that the difference has more to do with how the teacher has prepared the students ahead of time for following the rules and procedures.

    Which principles from the book is the teacher either violating or following?

  2. First , I think that the most important principle that the teacher is violating is the respect . I believe that if there is no respect between the teacher and her students then he cant expect them to respect him. I also believe that there is a significant lock of classroom management. If the teachers doesn't have classroom management that that translates in lost of control . I think that if the teacher follow reinforcement, consequences and effects then that shows not only control but the ability to manage a classroom along with the students . What principles do you think the students either violate or follow ?
