The most imoportant idea commuunicated regarding teacher's expectations is to relate expectations tothe students. This should be established the first day of school and should be included in the classroom rules. High expectations should include encouragement, social and emotional growth and be stated in a positive mannerin the rules. For an example, we do not have rules that begin with ":no". Instead of No fighting, our rule for that problem is stated ;We are a family, and fighting is not a member". We resure that teachers respect the students by our rule that states "Respect all teachers and paraprofessional, they respect you". Establishing good positive rules and being consist with the rules mergers over to good classroom management. A great teacher knows how to discipline the students and reminds them that they are cared for and loved, no matter what the student does, we will still love them. Great teachers communicate effectively to the misbehaved student, by making sure the students understand that their behave will not be tolerated . Knowing the students, postivie rules, and high expectations of the students are all intertwined into great classroom management.
teachers should never yell, argue, humiliate or degrad ea student.
An efffective teacher needs to know how to communicate positively towards the students in all behavioral situations, and to be fair with the student. Almost everynight at home, I am in contact with the paraprofessional in my room (she either calls me, or I call her). The majority of our conversation deals with our classroom. If there was a problem that day, I ask for her opinion if I handled the situation in the right way. We both take our job home!! I want to know how to improve myself as a teacher, did I handle this the right way? was I to hard on a certain student? All of these questions merge into self improving as a good effective teacher. I want to continually grow as an effective teacher!
