I had a tough day with my toughest class yesterday. I feel a little guilty saying that they are a "tough" class, as the kids that I work with are truly amazing. They are respectful, kind, and work relatively hard. Still, our job is never that easy.
The dynamics of this particular block just drives me crazy, and I don't do a very good job of hiding it. Simply put, they know they drive me crazy, and that makes everything that much worse. I struggle implementing changes, giving direct instruction, facilitating discussion, or doing just about anything.
So, tomorrow I'm going about fixing my classroom culture. The question is "how?"
Step 1: Apologize
Step 2: Eliminate sarcasm and disrespect
Step 3: Feedback (google form)
Step 4: Discuss feedback
Step 5: Listen to all suggestion
Step 6: Make suggested changes
Let's see how it goes!
