Mr. Harry Wong's part 3 was about Discipline and Procedures. Harry Wong states that " Effective teachers have a plan... If you don't have a plan then you're planning to fail." As a teacher you should always have a plan before entering your classroom because having no plan can make a chaos inside the classroom, because basically you as a teacher don't know what to teach.
Discipline is concern on how the students Behave, and Procedure is concern on how the things are done. In implementing discipline in your classroom things has rewards and penalties, on the other side if you implement procedures there are no reward and penalties given. Giving procedure to the students help them to learn step by step how ever if you discipline a student you are more focused on the behavior not by the doings of a student.
As a future teacher it is a must to implement routines to your students to effectively mange your class and manage the academic time effectively .

ReplyDeleteI appreciate the way you describe your first day of school. I started reading Harry Wong's book during my two month stint with Teach for America, everyone recommended it to me and referred to it as the teacher's "Bible". At the time, I tried to take in as much as I could from this book. Now I realize (through my two semesters at University of Akron) that teaching is not based on an exact formula. That every day is different and that every student is different. In fact, that is why using technology in our classrooms is so important!
Indeed. Technology was all over the world so using it inside the classroom might help the students be more participative and active to class. Thank you Sir!
DeleteI agree with you maam. I hope all the learnings in the seminar you will apply it in to your classroom someday.
