Before I took Classroom Management 101 my classroom management was ok, but even after 13 years of teaching I never felt that I had been ‘secure’ in what to do or say and most of the time it was just muddling through!
Now I’m much more organized and learned to actually spend time on procedures. In teaching practice you just adopt someone else’s class so you never see that part, then you wonder why it all falls apart when you have your own class!
