Ideas for Topic 1: Classroom Management

#1: DRAW A CONCEPT MAP USING WEBSPIRATION + POWERPOINT

Objective that is met: 1a

Instructional Material: Using EGRUL (which means having the learner ‘discover’ a principle or rule) we will have the learner draw a concept map using Webspiration.  After  each learner has created a concept map of all the features that can positively effect a well-managed classroom, they will answer a series of questions that will lead them to the rule that there is a relationship between procedures and a well-managed classroom.  A powerpoint presentation will give a brief summary to reinforce the connection between procedures and a well-managed classroom. 

#2: VIDEO + ONLINE QUIZ

Objective that is met: 1b

Instructional Material: A video will explain the difference between discipline and procedures.  Then, the learner will take an online quiz.  Each question will present a scenario in the classroom.  The learner is to decide whether the teacher is using discipline or a procedure.  Some questions will ask which, discipline or a procedure, would be most appropriate in given situation.  The learner will receive instant feedback as to how many questions they answered correctly but not which questions they answered correctly.  They may go back as many times as they would like and change their answers until they get all of the questions correct.  

#3: POWERPOINT + DISCUSSION POST

Objective that is met: 1c

Instructional Material: Learners will watch a powerpoint that explains why procedures are important.  After watching the video they will summarize and elaborate why procedures are important on a classroom discussion post.  

Ideas for Topic 2: Teaching Classroom Procedures

#4: VIDEO + WIKI

Objective that is met: 2a

Instructional Material: Learners will watch a video of a teacher using 2 different procedures in the classroom.  The learner will then complete a list indicating several examples where procedures are important.  We will assume that all of the learners are a  part of a classroom wiki and they can upload the procedures that they come up with onto the wiki.

#5: POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

Objective that is met: 2b

Instructional Material: A powerpoint presentation will be created that will use the a mnemonic to help the learners remember the 3 steps to teaching a procedure.  The mnemonic is PERR: Procedures = Explain, Rehearse, Reinforce.  If you all like the idea of a mnemonic but don’t like PERR, we can change it to something else. 

#6: VIDEO OF AN EFFECTIVE TEACHER, ROLE-PLAY

Objective that is met: 2c, 2d, 2e

Instructional Material: While watching a video of a veteran teacher, learners will note phrases the teacher uses for each of the following steps: explain, rehearse, reinforce.  Using the same video, the learners will reword each phrase into a statement they would feel comfortable using in their own classrooms.  Lastly, learners would role-play with a partner and practice teaching a classroom procedure.
