Classroom Management: Chapter 7 & 8

I think that the groups were really effective. Most of the time it takes seeing a situation from multiple points of view in order to understand all sides. Seeing the different situations in the video and then being able to act them out helped me to understand not just the teacher's point of view but helped me to understand the student's point of view. I think that each group made their skit effective because they showed some major themes that occur within any classroom- issues with homework, issues with classroom activity and consistancy, problems with student behavior, how to handle student behavior, as well as how to stay calm and continue to be effective when there is so many different things going on around you.
I think that the movie overall was an effetive way to learn and understand how to manage different aspects of the classroom. Again, seeing it instead of reading about it or learning about it from a lecture is much more effective. I think that it is important to have all teachers understand these different points of view in order for them to be an all around consistant, effective, supportive, and guiding leader in the classroom.
