In this weeks post I would like to look at another part of my classroom management. I will be discussing organization. I will mostly talk about how my classroom organization is going. I feel that mostly my organization is going good. I feel to run a successful PE class you must have great classroom management and organization. For the most part I feel that I have done well in this department. The students seem to react better when you know what you are doing instead of just flying by the seat of your pants.
The only thing that can mess up my organization is when the plan will not work for the day. Sometimes I am working with other teachers who change their mind on the activity they want to do. I am team teaching a class and one day the teacher decides we should split up the classes without talking to me before hand. The reason she did this was because she didn't like some of the students in my class. I made my lesson up as I went that day but I felt that the class still went well.
Today was a struggle because of having a sub in the department kind of threw off what I had planned for the day so again I went as the class went along. The class went great exfept towards the end when the students got bored and uninterested in PE. When this happened I had two students who don't like each other get in a fight and the class just felt very unorganized to me. The students were always wanting to fight in class but today it finally went off. They were building up to this point.
I will need to make sure that I can stay as organized as possible while teaching my classes. I know this is common sense but sometimes hard to do when things change at the last minute.
