As opposed to last week, I actually agree with what the Wong’s had to say in their chapter about classroom management. I credit myself with being a highly organized and fairly systematic person, so what the Wong’s said really resonated with me. I find personal stability in being consistent and having routine, so I easily [...]

9 weeks down, 6 official (7.2 unofficial) weeks to go! Last week was a continuation of the week before in terms of student engagement levels. At some points I feel myself starting to think, “Well, I’m not going to care if they don’t care,” which is not what I want to be thinking or feeling. [...]

This week’s Wong and Wong reading discussed how the effective teacher understands and uses the research process to improve student achievement and student learning.

Spring sprung early this year. I was more than ready for the perks that come with more daylight and warmer weather, but I was not prepared for the effect it would have on my students. Since coming back from Spring Break at the beginning of April both Robin and I (and let’s face it, most [...]

As an 8th grade (student) teacher, part of my responsibility is to prepare my students for high school. Not an easy task. Especially given the fact that I’m having a hart time remembering what it was like being an eighth grader and that I didn’t go to high school in Washington, so I’m don’t really [...]

My middle school years were spent inside the walls of Brown Barge Middle School. Brown Barge was different than a typical middle school. Instead of having classes in core subjects and electives for either one or two semesters, BBMS students learned via 12-week theme-based units called streams. I believe the authors of Meeting Standards through [...]
