In my opinion, it is easier to study and imitate good classroom management than to read and figure it out from a book. That was one of our concepts in the DVD!
With this in mind, check out Yvonne Divans Hutchinson from California's King-Drew Medical Magnet School. She allowed her class to be videotaped and we have the pleasure of seeing good management skills in the third video, "Engage in Small Group Discussion."
Take notice of her confidence, clear directions and use of effective pausing as she speaks. Also, notice how she seems to be part of the class instead of simply in front of it. And hey - if you are a secondary English teacher - check out some of the lessons!
Many thanks to Ms. Hutchinson and her class!
