Classroom Management: The Key To Your Success

Hohendorf - "Dorf des Friedens". Die Gemeinde Hohendorf, Krs. Luckau, hat sich durch gute Aufklärungsarbeit und ständige Erfüllung ihrer Ablieferungspflicht zu einer vorbildlichen Gemeinde der DDR entwickelt. Durch enge Zusammenarbeit der Bauern mit der Gemeindeverwaltung war es möglich, alle auftretenden Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden und dadurch anderen Gemeinden ein gutes Bespiel zu geben. A, 5. Dezember wurde Hohendorf vom Landesfriedenskomitee Brandenburg als "Dorf des Friedens" ausgezeichnet. Stolz und glücklich waren die Bauern, als im Dorf ein Brief des Präsidenten Wilhelm Pieck eintraf, der eine Delegation nach Berlin einlud. Bei ihren Besuch in Berlin, der für alle ein unvergessliches Erlebnis war, konnten sie wertvolle Ratschläge des Präsidenten für ihre weitere Arbeit mitnehmen. Um auch am Neuaufbau Berlins mitzuhelfen, verpflichteten sie sich, 41 Baumstämme zur Verfügung zu stellen. UBz: In der Dorfschule von Hohendorf wird gute Pionierarbeit geleistet. Lehrer Wohlauf erzählt den jungen Pionieren von der Bedeutung des 3. Jahrestages der jungen Pioniere.

Above all else that you do in education, classroom management skills will pay greater dividends. I cannot tell you how much more teaching I actually get done now that I have learned how to get and keep children quiet. This one skill was the single thing that prevented me from being useful at all during my first two years as a teacher. This one skill was the single thing that allowed me to be supremely useful in my third year of teaching.

No matter what you do, do not underestimate the value of spending time learning and refining classroom management skills. No other educational endeavor will be as fruitful.

Joel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
