Classroom management is how you set up routines in order to have a safe and efficient classroom environment. Creating expectations and having adequate materials is helpful. When students are engaged in learning and activities the classroom runs much smoother.

Classroom management is an effective way teachers set up the learning space. This can be met through tone of voice, warm affect, set schedule, routine, expectations.  Students should know what to expect and when things will occur.  Classroom management includes being prepare for the lesson and having appropriate materials.  Even planning for extra activities if you find you have more time. Down town is not always a good thing because that creates boredom and could create behaviors.
Good classroom management starts with the teacher and their attitude towards teaching and learning.

Teachers have a strong influence on students' attitudes towards learning and school. If the teacher doesn't have a positive attitude towards his or her work, the students will see that and could potentially develop a similar attitude towards school. Even just asking a student about their weekend or how they're feeling could make a huge difference in their day.

I noticed the students reactions to the adults around him. He was thinking to himself how the adults react to him and how it made him feel. The adults were about business and not the care of the child. They conducted themselves in a way that showed they served the whole group and not the individual child. The management style was cold and rigid. The flip side- other half of the video showed what warm affect and kindness does for a student. As educators we have to keep an open mind to what our students are thinking and experiencing and not to hold things against them if they don't respond or do not know something. The process of teaching and learning is evolving and its ok not to know everything.

One of my strengths is how I build relationships with students. I think it's very helpful in the classroom when you understand how each student learns best and can connect the learning to their lives and interests-it keeps them engaged. I feel I could use more support on behavior management. I am still trying to figure out the best ways to work with more difficult behaviors while simultaneously managing the rest of the class.

My strength in the classroom is to see the whole child and their individual talents. I recognize that we are all good at something.  We may not be great at everything but we are good at something and I strive to pull that out of my students. I look to teach to a students abilities and learning style, this varies for many kids.
I could use more support in this area as well. I look to teach most lessons in a multimodal approach which reaches most senses. I would love to look at all activities with this approach.

By using different methods and strategies teachers are able to keep their classroom organized and efficient. Ensuring that students know the different rules and appropriate behaviors is a key component of classroom management. The days runs smoothly when the students know what is expected of them.

Although our students may be young they are still able to pick up on our emotions. They are able to sense different attitudes. Even though they may not be able to express their emotions that does not mean that they are not feeling them the same way we are. It is important to self regulate one’s emotions. From the video it is evident that students respond well to positive affirmations and feedback.

I would say that one of my strengths when it comes to classroom management is that try to be cognizant of the fact that they are all different and talented in their own ways. They have different strengths and weakness, which all all important to be aware of. Knowing your students can allow for you to be able to use different strategies and techniques to help them and make them better learners.

Classroom management is a way to organize your classroom through structure and routine. The children are aware of what is expected and how they are to move around the room without or little disruptions. This is important because children need to know what they can and cannot do. By giving them structure and routines the children are able to participate and know when and how thins are being done. It also controls some behavior issues.

One of the things I took away was that as a teacher we are always thinking about something. The part where the teacher just gives a quick wave goodbye as she went on to something else made me think about how I am preoccupied and sometimes ignore my students. Another thing I took away was how I smiled when I saw the adults act nicely to the students. Just by being nice we are making a child smile.

I am a very good communicator. Which means not only do I speak well to others but I am a good listener. I definitely need to work on my loud speaking voice which comes out as a yelling. I try to take a breath before I speak with the hopes that I am not so loud but it always comes out as a yell.

Classroom management sets the tone for the classroom. It creates a safe environment for the students. They learn how to communicate by following and learning rules in the classroom.

A strength of mine is patience. Being able to understand the behaviors that occur during the day and being patient with redirecting/teaching the appropriate actions. Of course, patience can lessen as the week goes on😂 so I would like to work on continuing to be understanding when a student is in crisis even on days when it seems impossible

Classroom management is how teachers are able to organize their classroom to create an environment where students can learn effectively and can also make the teaching process easier. It also included different skills and techniques that allows to control disruptive behavior from students and keep it to a minimum in a school classroom.

Some things that stood out in the video was how much the people around the students affected them through out the day. We are considered to be apart of a student's immediate environment which means we influence students almost everyday. When students are in a learning environment, they should be allowed to showcase their voice in an appropriate way that will allow them to enjoy learning and look forward to coming to school.

Classroom management is a set of rules, routines, and strategies that help to distinguish the expectations in the classroom, along with a productive, safe, and effective environment. It will help foster meaningful academic learning and social and emotional growth. It also will help to decrease negative behaviors.

Classroom management is used to teach children routine and responsibility. It helps children become more independent, and self monitor their behavior. Its important to let children know what is expected of them and what is appropriate behavior to keep everyone safe and happy in school.

One thing I took away from the video, "Every Opportunity", was the reminder of how impactful presence, intentionality, and kindness are when being a teacher. This is of course true when it comes to how we treat the students, but it is also in how we treat staff, parents, and others. The students are always watching and learning through how we act, interact, and treat others in the world.

The second thing I took from this video is that we should create space for them to explore, problem solve, and communicate. There of course needs to be structure in our days. That's where classroom management comes in. But, we should also give them time to explore and learn in ways that are not so obvious, like playing games with others, turn and talks, etc.

I believe one of my strengths is how patient I can be with the students. I feel like I am able to communicate kindly with my students but I also feel like that is also my weakness. Sometimes I find it difficult trying to control multiple behavioral issues at once and trying to make sure the other students are doing well too.

A simple "hello" to a student when they arrive in the classroom can set their mood for the entire day.
A students behavior is parallel to their teachers/adults around them. They can sense when things in an adults life are bothering them which in turn makes them anxious, upset, or feeling defeated. This can change their behavior during the day and cause them to have a "bad day."

# data[].attributes.body
one strength I have in classroom management is using positive reinforcement and other student behavior when I see a child is struggling to follow classroom rules and routines. For example I often use phrases like "I love the way Sophie is sitting so calmly, her voice is quiet and her hand are still." "Jack is ready to learn too. Great work, Jack" This helps students who are struggling to focus prepare themselves and do what is expected without pointing out that they are NOT following rules and routines.
A weakness I have is asking children to sit still for too long. I do have several children who can sit and learn for quite some time, but others who have a very short clock. At times, I tend to focus on the children who are pay attention and have the ability to focus for longer periods of time rather than the children who can only concentrate on something for shorter periods of time.

I believe one of my strengths when it comes to classroom management is that I try to relate to the students - small things like telling them during morning meeting that I didn't sleep well so that made me really tired waking up this morning! I'll go on to tell them that that made me really grumpy, but I decided to take a couple of deep breaths, a nice warm shower, and I picked up a cup of coffee at Starbucks because that made me smile and made my morning better!

I guess I consider that classroom management because I talk a lot about mindfulness and try to incorporate ways to redirect some of my students that have big behaviors. I always remind them to take a few deep breaths, use their words so that I can help them, etc. By sharing that personal story during morning meeting with them, I show them that I use these regulation tools too. I also make sure to have these conversations in moments when there are no behaviors being shown. I think that helps to enforce the expectations and strategies we should use in the classroom and outside the classroom.

One area that I feel I could use more support on is when a student is exhibiting troubling behavior (throwing themselves on the floor, hitting, running away from me in the classroom, running outside onto the playground, throwing their shoes, etc), I often try multiple ways of classroom management. I have tried to ignore, react sternly that it is unacceptable because it is not safe, give them options, redirection, and self-regulation tools. If I am in the classroom alone and I try all those options, I often hit a wall and then choose to just ignore because I have to keep the other students engaged and safe. I think I would like to know what the plan should be from there. When all options are tried, then what?

Classroom management is how the classroom environment is set up to effectively and safely teach. It is important because it gives the students the structure they need, that allows them opportunity to be able to work on different skills. Skills such as communication, cognitive, gross and fine motor skills. Allows them the opportunity to learn from mistakes and control behavioral disruptions.

classroom management establishes growth within the classroom for both students and teachers it helps the classroom run as smooth and it establishes a safe and positive learning environment for the students effecting the students ability to learn and the teachers ability to teach. It is important because it helps you understand the students keep schedules, set boundaries within the classroom.

I noticed that how we treat the students can greatly impact their thoughts on not only their selves but their learning. If they get negative responses from adults in their school settings, it is very possible for a child to not want to be interested in learning. A child might reaction in a negative way and not have respect for school. I noticed that the adults in the school were about just "business" and allow any expression from the students. This can lead to a child acting out or not being able to express themself in a positive manner because they may not know how. How teachers and adults in the school setting treat the students will greatly impact the child's relationship and thoughts towards their education.

Sometimes when teachers are stressed out or preoccupied with things, they can get carried away and lose sight of what’s important. Greeting students with love and respect makes students feel safe and appreciated. It’s our job to teach pre k students that their teachers are here for them and love them, so that they can continue their schooling knowing that. Our tone of voice also makes a difference. I feel like we all knew this, but this video was a great reminder.

one strength I have is that I have a relationship with each child individually. I can know what their strengths are and what they like, and what their weaknesses are and what they may not like. Knowing this i am able to teach them new idea or a better way to assist their learning experience. I need to work on not being too attached to the children, which can cause behavioral problems. I try to fix all their problems or 'baby' them a bit, when they need to learn the importance of following directions and listening to the teacher.

Students need to know that they are valued and there voice and feeling matter. one of the things I took out of this video is the way the child was being treated in the beginning, this child was ignored and it made him feel bad. we never know what the child is going through at home and maybe going to school is the only escape he/she has. part of an effective classroom magt is the ability to make a safe environment for the students and ignoring the student is not effective it could later lead to other things. it sets the tome for the rest of of the day, and who wants to be miserable at school all day like he said in the video school is hard enough why add the stress.
being positive to a student can change a Childs day. it can help the child relax and feel better about him/her it sets the tone for the child to focus enjoy school.

My classroom mgt strengths is the ability to focus on making connections with my students along with boundaries, consistency and expectations.
I feel like I could use support in behavior management .
