Title: I’m starting with the wo-man in the mirror, I’m going to reflect on my ways.
- How through active self -reflection on classroom management I can help improve the quality of my students learning by managing disruptions more efficiently and refocusing their attention to the lesson quicker.

Description: I experienced a critical moment during a PowerPoint presentation describing famous people ranging from Disney characters to celebrities. The activity required them to use adjectives to describe the person in a sentence; such as Simba is sad when he abandons the pridelands. I made my error when the infamous Kim Kardashian was to be described by a first year student. Up one of the boy’s hands shot “Miss I have a describing word – she’s sexy miss”. What was I thinking!
Rationale:
This precise incident made me want to reflect further on classroom management because in all honesty it was the only time so far that an incident of this calibre had occurred. I believe classroom management issues can be the most unpredictable and challenging, unlike lesson plans, differentiation, resources and more; you cannot plan for these incidences. You need to respond instantly and think on your feet, my first move

At Meachem, there is a student who is punished for leaving the classroom on his own accord, yet when he acts out in class, the teacher will often send him into the hallway. This sends the student a mixed message on appropriate and inappropriate behavior. A way to integrate best practice in this situation is to sit down with the student and teacher and establish ground rules for appropriate behavior. One should also explain to the teacher that a child cannot be reprimanded for behaviors that the teacher is instituting. Additionally, a check in/check out system with a peer mentor may be beneficial to the student in helping them achieve daily goals, such as calming down when upset or completing class work.

Classroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students, while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom management is really hard and there are many theorists that talk about it and each is different from the other where each theorist has his/her own ideas and thoughts. Some of them are mentioned below. In Redl and Wattenberg 's theories, they encompass group dynamics, self-control, the pleasure-pain principle, and understanding reality.

I have learned that as an educator I need to be there for my students, protect them, and care for them as my own children.

Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006).
