MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES


Friday February 10th, destination: Elementary School 8:05am. In this reflection, I will be concentrating on the host teachers management strategies. To start off the morning, the classroom teacher brings the students to the gym and they line up at the door. Then my host teachers tells them to come into the gym and quietly line up on the alphabet labeled on the gym floor (protocol). Thats the first management strategy in place inorder for the class to become accustom too. Then the class starts off with some type of warm up activity to get the students heart rate up and ready for the days lesson. After the warm up, the class moves right into the main lesson of the day. I really wasn't able to see what happens when a student misbehaves yet because all my students have been so well behaved. So the management strategy for that instance is still unknown. The rules in the classroom are pretty standard rules. Pay attention to the teacher when he/she is talking, Stay on task, and Follow directions. All of the students I have dealt with so far are just awesome and they all follow the rules. At the end of the days PE lesson, the classroom teacher comes to the gym door and then the students line up quietly outside the gym and then the classroom teacher takes the students back to class. All the students are well aware of what is expected throughout the entire class time in PE. With great management strategies in place, the smoother your PE class will run!
