Classroom Management Task


Task Description: Design a classroom management tool considering one of your training classes as the target group. Describe and evaluate this tool on your blog. Talk to your cooperating teacher about the tool and take feedback from the cooperating teacher of the target class about the possible effectiveness of your tool and mention it in your post. (You don't have to apply the tool in class, but ask your cooperating teacher what would happen if somebody used that tool in that class.)
Include answers to these questions within your post:
  • Why is your tool appropriate, effective and functional?
  • What kind of problems would you anticipate if you applied this tool in class? How would you deal with them?
Finally: Don't forget to answer the following two questions:

  • How do you plan to reflect on your own classroom management when you start teaching? How will you evaluate your own classroom management?
