In my classroom, I observed that my school advisor manages her class by using a shaker. She shakes it softly to get student’s attention and it works well for her. At times, she will start shaking it harder if they’re too noisy; however, she barely gets to that point. Also, she will give them the “teacher look,” calling out names, count down, turning off the lights, or a soft pat in the back. All of these work efficiently in her class. These are some of the class managements I have observed from her during my short practicum. For me personally, I tried using the shaker and it doesn’t go hand to hand when I teach. The students do acknowledge the shaker when I shake it, however it takes them a bit longer to settle down. I tried doing the count down and acknowledging the students who respectfully stopped what they’re doing and paid attention to me. I found this effective because the students do stop what they’re doing and I give them that count down, so they know that I am being serious and ready to teach or point something out to the class. As of right now, I think I will do the count down when I am teaching. My SA already has set boundaries for class expectation and students do respect that. I think I will have another class expectation meeting  when I start my long term practicum. Therefore, it will be easier for me and my students will know what I am expecting from them and what they can expect from me.
