Great techniques learned to ensure classroom management is that of a "Guide".
Teachers can transition to styles based on the school environment. I used to be more of a guide but have become somewhat apethetic.
My goal is to set boundaries. To ensure keep a professional relationship with my students, but also being able to give support when needed.
My style tendencies and how to blend them better.
I always see a teacher as a manager. Therefore, I think the types of leadership are similar to the management styles. I think great teachers as leaders need to be dynamic and change their style accordingly to the group's needs. I am glad that I was on the right path.
As a professional, I like to learn the best techniques to be able to inspire and bring out the best in each of my students, therefore I am planning to apply the information about how to implement the "guide" style in my practice.
I learned the different types of teaching styles and which one is more effective.
Four styles of classroom management. Needs to be self-evaluated and then put through 4 step model of improvement.
I feel I implement the role of guide well, but find it is easy to shift more into the role of controller or buddy from time to time. I look forward to learning more in Module 2.
Instructors should constantly work to improve their skills so they don't become an apathete
This module reinforces the importance of classroom management and how to be an effective instructor. I benefited from knowing details about the difference between the four styles and what could be done to avoid being the undesired teacher are clearly stated here. I am already a guide-type instructor and I would seek improvements whenever possible.
All of the information was new to me and highly informative. Learning about the 4 types of classroom management and the attributes of each, I was able to realize which type I would naturally fit into based on my personality, and therefore know what steps to take to become the Guide that I should be.
I know I want to be a guide to my students. I have to work on consistency.
There are various management styles that give class expectations to the students. Upon self-reflection, I tend to use the Guide style, and add aspects of the controller style, depending on the behavior of the classroom. I also include aspects of the buddy style, to achieve rapport with my students.
I think seeing that you can change into a guide forteaching is great. Being able to see and understand.
great tips and tricks for classroom management. I've always wondered how to properly navigate the classroom. I'm glad that my teaching style was in the middle between the controller and guide method. I will definitely start using class outlines to make sure I stay on course.
I have learned about the 4 styles of classroom management. Looking at all the styles I believe I fit the Guide with the Buddy creeping in on certain days for a short burst!
I learned alot of informative info and plan to use them in order to more of a guided instructor.
I can see where I started as an instructor as a complete controller but now am more of a guide to the students. I do have pressures though at certain schools where a certain amount of material is supposed to be covered in a set timeframe so it is hard to be more of a guide but maybe I can try to incorporate more group learning activities rather than using none.
I learned that I need to work on being more of a Guide. Great training!
Very helpful in understanding our roles as instructors in the classroom.
Being new to teaching, I've leaned towards being the buddy, while trying as hard as possible to avoid being apathetic. I do believe being a guide to help assist learning is the most helpful and impactful role you could have as an instructor. To achieve this, moving forward I will spend more time preparing class materials, keeping students accountable for their work and maintaining a good rapport while keeping students engaged in peer discussions.
