This week we read and reviewed the last half of Module 3 in the Kellough and Karjuzaa textbook. It had a great wealth of information for new teachers. I agree with the text's claim that transitions can be hard for new teachers. I find it hard to myself on an individual basis with students or even with the little activities I do with my after school care kids. Another point mentioned in the book is anchor activities. If you are going to be teaching a diverse group of students, this is one technique that is important to conquer. Anchor activities are assignments that can be done by students while they are waiting for the rest of the class to finish up the original activity. Effective teachers carefully plan out their lessons and ensure that they have anchor activities that will keep all children engaged.
The text also explained different types of misbehavior and how to effectively combat each. It also went into great detail for creating a proactive classroom. The book provides examples of mistakes made by teachers that may result in misbehavior.
