Great tips in this class.!!

Management styles:

I learned the 4 types of classroom management & which I am, the closest to, & which is the best to be.

• The controller
• The guide  
• The buddy
• The Apathete

I feel that I am the guide for the most part with some of the buddy attributes in there. I plan to be even more the guide with less buddy. The controller, I have many of the positive attributes. I aspire to focus on more of the positive sides of the three types, & be sure to never be a Apathete.

Rebecca Weaver

I've learned what kind of instructor I want to be like and which ones I don't want to be like. Hope to us this in my new classroom.

Jessica Fraijo

I have learned what type of Instructor I am.

Lynn Kendrick

I have learned about the 4 styles and will see which one that I want to be more like and try this for this school year.  I feel like based on the examples that I am more of a guide then I controller or buddy. But lets see how it goes. 

Alonna Pratt

I learned that while most students enjoy the Buddy, the Guide is the better choice.  I Fell that I am more of a Guide with some of the Buddy attributes.  I will strive to become more of a Guide and hope the classroom appreciates it. 

Erin Richards

I have learned that I need to be more confident about reprimanding privately. I tend to generalize the negative classroom behavior as a group offence, when I need to begin to specficially speak with students causing the negative behaviors promptly and privately. I think my classroom would run more smoothly with that. Also, I feel like I am in between a guide and buddy...just a mix. 

Margaret Kimball

We all need to be objective as to who we are and who we want to be in the classroom.

John Warriner

I have learned about the 4 styles of classroom management and have found that I most meet that of the guide.

Tennille O'Connor

I think I am a guide with a bit of buddy. The presentation did mention that adult learners prefer a friendly environment and I try to provide that while still maintaining high expectations and professionalism. 

Elizabeth Lindo

My goal is to be a guide and not a buddy by keeping my class organized and driven. 

Jennifer Haraper

Good tips for incorporating buddy and controlling to end up with guide style. 

Selwyn Carrington

I have had a lot reinforced during this module. Ensuring that I have a solid management plan is essential. I particularly like the idea of having a planned alternate activity in case of emergency so that student progress is not hindered.

Kathryn Cunnagin

I plan to lay out my specific expectations for all aspects of the class clearly at the beginning of the course, rather than in a more general way, and then specifically later on as assignments are due etc.  That way when we get to individual assignments etc throughout the class the expectations will be a reinforcement of what was already laid out at the beginning.
