Bumpy Moments

Self-Reflection is really important when managing a classroom. Reading the article on, “Bumpy Moments” by Romano, really opened my eyes of how to make quick decisions for any problems that may arise. My biggest fear is lacking confidents in classroom management. How will I have my students engage and respect me as their teacher? Romano addressed these in her article, and I felt that I wasn’t the only one that had these initial thoughts. I appreciated her telling her readers that classroom management and parents were her biggest ‘bumpy moments’ in her teaching career. She clarified by keeping journals or anything  that will make her teaching more comprehensible will limit any awkward moments in the classroom. Learning is always looking back at experiences and reflecting on how to make things better if a situation occurs again. Teaching does require a lot of patience, but critically thinking of everything around the classroom and outside the classroom is also important.

  1. It is true that classroom management and parents can provide some bumpy moments but you are really correct in saying that reflection and trying new strategies can help to smooth the road. Researching ahead of time, collaborating with others, and attending workshops that address a potential bumpy road can also help to prevent some of the difficulties you may encounter as you journey through teaching.
