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.
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.
This lesson was helpful in prompting me to reflect and analyze my teaching style. I am now able to recognize that I am a Buddy Instructor, and in order to improve or become more of a Guide I must incorporate higher expectations of academic achievement through becoming more productive myself in planning, administering more effective controls and discipline particularly with school policy, and finding the right balance.
There are at least two areas I can work on: 1) Moving around the room more 2) Standing up whole I teach. I used to stand while I teach but had a period where I wasn't feeling well so I began sitting more. One other possible thing to work on is the classroom setting. The tables are not always set up in a way I can see every student.
I learned that your style can fluctuate based on the dynamics of your class, but being aware of a potential shift and mitigating the change can help the educator remain the Guide.
This lesson has taught me that through the years I have had and utilized at least three management styles. I have also learned that I tend to tailor my styles more to the classes as they too have changed in their needs over the years. Great information in this module!
I initially thought that my teaching style would end up being The Buddy, as I strive to make complicated topics fun. I realized that I am more of a Guide, and that reinforces my efforts to become a more effective instructor.
While I'm very organized and productive like the controller, I vary the learning experience and guide my students to learning. Thank you for this educational experience.
Learning the 4 classroom management style is so important. I think the hardest is to being the guide for most students. I would shift towards the controller only for uncontrollable situations.
What a great module. I certainly possess the guiding personality for the most part, but there is always room for improvement.
This module validated which management style I felt like I identified with, as well as advised how to further practice/improve this style.
I found that I adjust my classroom management style to suit the situation. This module though helped to reinforce why the guide is the best style to use the majority of the time. Good tips on how to coach others to change their style!
There are 4 management styles which are the controller, the buddy, the guide and the apathete. The best teaching results are from the guide. There are ways to transition from the other management styles to become a guide which will ultimately lead to the most learning.
This lesson has taught me behaviors of the four styles of classroom management and each of their traits. This should allow me to be able to pick out any tendency I may have and either correct it or improve upon it.
I have learned that a successful instructor adjusts the way they manage their classes as the need arises. Strive to be a guide and not a controller or buddy, and to be a role model for your students.
