Eric Kruger - Student Teaching Week 13

This week has been an interesting one. In a handful of my classes I have had to deal with students that have been misbehaving and not paying attention. This has been a test to me and my classroom management as some of the classes where out of control. Along with this, I have to test my discipline policy as it had to be something that would stick with the students.I made several students sit out of the activities that we were doing ( IL 21.A.1a) as the students had to be held responsible for their actions during the classes. Along with this, we transitioned into a soccer unit. Some of the students have no experience with the sport, while others play competitively with teams outside of school. Making sure to find activities that were appropriate for all learners was something that I put into place as well as having the more experienced students work with the less experienced players (IL 21.B.1a). My focus over the next week is going to be making sure that the students are having a smooth transition from the skills element of the unit to the live game play of the unit.
