Management Strategies
In the lesson today with the 3rd graders, the gym
was split into four distinct quadrants by two crossing nets that spanned the
entire gym. This naturally set the class into a stations setting, and the
lesson was based accordingly. The quadrant setup allowed me to easily manage
the class within their stations, because I was able to quickly and easily see
what was going on throughout the lesson. I was able to monitor behavior and
participation as well as give individual feedback quite easily and efficiently.
I think that stations are a great way to manage a classroom,
because it allows students to work on their task without having the entire
class watching them. It also breaks up the class into many different activities
adding in a variety of tasks. This is the same style of classroom management
that I used and plan to use again to complete my assessments. Having success in
the lesson furthered my belief that stations can be effective when utilized
properly.
