Reflective practices can change how you manage your classroom during teaching experiences. Here are some ways I've found it makes things better:
Self-Awareness: Thinking about your teaching helps you understand what went well and what didn’t. For example, after a lesson where my students seemed really bored, I spent some time figuring out how I taught the lesson and set up the classroom. This self-awareness helped me change my techniques for future classes.
Using Feedback: Asking for feedback from friends and teachers is really important. After watching another student teach, I noticed how having clear expectations and routines can help. Reflecting on that helped me use similar strategies in my own classroom, which made my students more involved.
Problem-Solving: You will face classroom management challenges. If there are issues like students talking too much or not participating, taking time to reflect can help you think of solutions. For example, I made a list of possible actions I could take when things got quiet, which helped me prepare for disruptions.
Continuous Growth: Reflective practices encourage a mindset of always trying to improve. Keeping a journal to write down thoughts and experiences helps you see your progress and set goals. It’s a great way to focus on becoming a better teacher.
By using reflective practices, you can improve your classroom management skills and create a better learning environment for your students. So take some time to reflect; it really makes a difference!
