What worked well

  • My teaching and explanation were fine.
  • I asked them to give me the answers for many of my steps in the arithmetic.

What could be improved

  • Be prepared to send them out of the room on first offence, if it is severe enough.
  • Their behaviour was "appalling", in the words of Sam. There should have been a lot more detentions in the first 10 minutes. Names on the board is far too slow an escalation process for some of their offences.
  • Beth should have been out right away for her insolence in demanding "What book?!".
  • If something isn't working, cut your losses and move to the next item of the schedule.
  • A homework review will not work as a starter if some of the students got the right answer in their homework. They will be bored stiff, and play up.

To Do

  • Devise the minutiae of my behaviour management strategy for the first five minutes of each lesson.
  • I must ensure they follow my precise command. If I say "Back row can go", for example, it is not acceptable if the row in front of them also leaves.
  • Produce each lesson plans two days ahead of the lesson.
  • Consult with the member of staff over the content of each lesson plan.
  • Do not do homework reviews as a starter, unless everyone got it wrong.
