Closing quotes by Gillian28

“The system may bug you to distraction , but kids are the thing that make teaching whatever fun it can be(97).”

“There is no such thing as promotion from the classroom; a ‘promotion’

will take you out of your classroom. (26).”

How to Teach School Real Good

by Dick Gaillard

Humor and sometimes Satire

Gilliard First Day TipGilliard First Day Tip

“Begin your classes in a business like manner. Start the year off on the first day with work. Real work. Don’t smile and don’t parry questions about your marital status or past life. Dive right in. Don’t joke or try to amuse your students and don’t try to be a ‘nice’ person” (96).


Making Learning Happen by Jeffrey N Golub

High energy learning


I have come to understand the cautionary note voiced by my mentor and respected colleague, Roy Alin: “Don’t mistake motion for progress.” …ways to restructure your classroom so that progress happens –”

Classroom ManagementClassroom Management

1. Lesson Plans & Seating Chart Ready2. Start in rows: then try group seating

after a few weeks (move into groups then return to rows).

3. Engaged students usually are well behaved students

4. Be consistent5. Be firm, not mean.6. Follow through every time.


7. Find a teacher to help (mentor). 8. Get specific tips for difficult objectives –

usually students hard to control when they don’t understand.

9. Restroom passes and system- important10. Free time management when

independent work complete.


Student goal for class period – helps with staggered finishing times.

1.The objective for this period. 2.Assignment – how will you achieve it

(keep focused, don’t talk with friends, ask questions if needed)

3.If you finish what other work will you do?4.End of period – did you finish? Why or why

not?

Classroom ManagmentClassroom Managment

Advice from Gaillard “Treat the biggest meanest kid you’ve got

as firmly as you would anyone else. Never hesitate to punish a student for an infraction of your rules. Make it swift and sure every time it’s necessary. ..Once you've established absolute control of your classroom, pass out compliments by the bushels.”

Best ally or worst enemy - your choice

You may not be impressed with their child. But understand, parents are giving you the “Best they have.”

Chances of being successful with parental help high – without it much lower.

21st Century Reality Check

62

Re-tool Lesson Plans

Use standard curriculum with modern tools

Instead of just exchanging papers with peer next to you, peer edit on Moodle with a school across the nation.(C) revise drafts to improve style, word choice, figurative language, sentence

variety, and subtlety of meaning after rethinking how well questions of purpose, audience, and genre have been addressed; 63

Re-tool Existing Lesson Plans Instead of just

presenting within one class for one teacher, have students write an essay and read it out loud to students in a different school; listen to stories from students in a far site

(2) c. (24) Listening and Speaking/Listening. Students will use comprehension skills to listen attentively to others in formal and informal settings. (25) (25) Listening and Speaking/Speaking. Students speak clearly and to the point, (16) writing ) an organizing structure appropriate to the purpose, audience, and context;

64

Re-tool Old Lesson Plans

Instead of just reading poems to class, conduct a poetry slam with different school districts

14) Writing/Literary Texts(B) write a poem using a variety of poetic techniques (e.g., structural elements, figurative language) and a variety of poetic forms (e.g., sonnets, ballads); and 65

Standardized Testing:

Focus on targeted objectivesTextual support target area according to item analysis of previous TAKS integrate with VC’ing.

Instead of just drilling on textual support post on Moodle and have students interact with answers.
