I learned alot about classroom strategies.
The four management styles were interesting - being an Apathete is not what I aspire to!! I bounce between controller and buddy; thus more of a guide; however, I can see where I can increase some of the characteristics for either style as needed.
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.
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.
Comment on Michael Howe's post: very on point.
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.
