My last post regarding managing a classroom needed just a little something more. Classroom management is unique to the teacher. One can go, and observe how others do it...pick and choose techniques, try to emulate another's style. In the end..a teacher's style, and management abilities are unique to that teacher. Granted...there are some out there who need to get a clue, and realize that they need to tweak a few things in this area. You can recognize these educators. They are the ones who usually complain about there class, and blame their student's behaviors on the kids themselves. Boy, are they missing out!
(Love analogies) Everyone has a grandmother, or a mother who makes the best lasagna, or turkey stuffing, but no matter who takes her recipe and tries to duplicate it, no matter how careful one is following the recipe...the end result is always a bit disappointing. It just isn't the same. Her touch...her "Way" is missing.
You can't be me, I can't be you...we simply have to be ourselves. We all have strength in reserve that can be tapped into. Tap yours...everyday as an educator. There will be some transference from you to your kids. Your kids will gain strength from you!
