Artifact
Title of Artifact: Classroom Management
For this assignment each student got to pick from 5 different videos to watch. Each video
was specific to a certain grade and students were advised to watch a video closest to the
grade/age they want to teach. Since I am interested in teaching younger children, I
watched a video about how a teacher prepares for the first few days of second grade. I
then wrote a short paper about routines, rules and procedures that the video displayed. I
also gave my own opinion about how these things effect how a classroom will function.
By watching the video and then being able to write about what I had learned I feel I am
better understand InTASC Standard #3 and the course competencies that go along with
this assignment.
Reflection:
After completed this assignment, it allowed me to really think about how I would want to
start off the school in my own room. I was able to analyze different procedures and rules
and work through how that might look in my classroom. I feel more confident about
being able to carry out expectations and implementing routines in a classroom. This
assignment really emphasized making sure students know the routines, rules, and
procedures and how important it is for the students and teachers benefit.
