Throughout the day I
often wonder what goes on in other classrooms, sometimes it is not easy to
try and think of new things to do so that the students will find learning fun
and enjoyable. Therefore getting out and seeing what other teachers are doing
is refreshing. I witnessed a class where students were working at their own
pace and once they finished their assignment they would join together for a
round circle discussion. I was amazed to watch the students behave as adults
during the discussion; they were taking turns talking and sharing their
reflections on what they had just learned. It was neat to see a group of 6th
graders (after lunch) staying so focused on learning.
I was also impressed
with the great classroom management skills throughout the building. Every
classroom I walked in to, the students were following the expectations and
definitely knew the procedures. Not
only were the students following the expectations but I could tell that each
teacher had good rapport with the students. Teachers are building
relationships with the students by laughing and talking with them, therefore
this is making learning enjoyable for the students.
I think we should
continue to do faculty rounds because not only are we able to get good ideas
from our co-workers but it allows us to recharge our batteries and dares us
to try something new.
