14 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:02 PM | That's what it feels like to me - frankly, the 2nd biggest complaint I hear about TPRS is classes get out of control #langchat | ||
15 | profesorM | 11/17/11 | 8:02 PM | BTW how is the conf? #langchat | ||
16 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:02 PM | #langchat #actfl11 congrats to @tmsaue1 and @tonitheisen new leaders of @actfl!!!!!! | ||
17 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:02 PM | So by 'classroom management' do we mean behavior problems? #langchat | ||
18 | tmsaue1 | 11/17/11 | 8:03 PM | @SECottrell whose problem is it? #langchat | ||
19 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:03 PM | #langchat #actfl11 Our team mate @CalicoTeach - ie Erica Fisher is at the conference - say hi to her and ask about #langchat | ||
20 | alenord | 11/17/11 | 8:03 PM | Knowing they have performance assessments make them more accountable during day to day #langchat | ||
21 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:03 PM | In HS I have very motivated students in very small classes (6, 10) but I do have problems in elementary #langchat | ||
22 | petreepie | 11/17/11 | 8:04 PM | when doing com. activites provide very clear instructions with a set time to complete them-call on students to share at the end #langchat | ||
23 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:04 PM | #langchat My level 1 Fr classes are 36 - lots of management challenges - a bit like herding cats at times! Purrfectly energetic! | ||
24 | alenord | 11/17/11 | 8:04 PM | @SECottrell #langchat I've been writing up the things that are working well here -->http://t.co/ZCuMdRUE | ||
25 | suarez712002 | 11/17/11 | 8:04 PM | Hi there! k-8 Sp teacher in KY #langchat | ||
26 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:05 PM | #langchat They are many but enthusiastic. I have tables of 4 - a nice set up for small groups, projects and conversation. | ||
27 | jklopp | 11/17/11 | 8:05 PM | #langchat I just spend about 10 to 15 min on activities then I change it up | ||
28 | alenord | 11/17/11 | 8:05 PM | @petreepie #langchat And I use an online timer ALL the time! | ||
29 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:06 PM | #langchat timers are helpful to keep things focused - I like mine on the Promethean board. | ||
30 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | RT @dr_dmd: #langchat timers are helpful to keep things focused - I like mine on the Promethean board. // I love timers | ||
31 | suarez712002 | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | while teaching inner city high school for 3 years learned that every single minute needs to be planned in class #langchat | ||
32 | jklopp | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | #langchat use sounds in class - clapper, horn, bellringer, whistle to change from one activity to the next | ||
33 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | #langchat Whose problem? It belongs to all the class - ss and me alike! We hold the space together, each one contributes. | ||
34 | pamwesely | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | Hi all I'm here at #actfl11 with @tmsaue1 @srtag participating in #langchat! | ||
35 | petreepie | 11/17/11 | 8:07 PM | change up the groups often so they arent always working with their friends/same people #langchat | ||
36 | petreepie | 11/17/11 | 8:08 PM | have them rotate to different stations, it gets them up and moving and a chance to re-focus #langchat | ||
37 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:08 PM | @tmsaue1 I think it's a general problem of students not knowing what's expected and teachers not making it clear #langchat | ||
38 | nnaditz | 11/17/11 | 8:08 PM | @dr_dmd #langchat I like "timer plus" on iPad and I phone and my kitchen timer | ||

41 | CalicoTeach | 11/17/11 | 8:08 PM | #langchat almost to live session Not used to city traffic. | ||
42 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:08 PM | RT @suarez712002: every single minute needs to be planned in class #langchat AGREED - things fall apart when I don't have a plan | ||
43 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:09 PM | #langchat I think it is important that the ss understand they are involved in their own learning as well as that of the whole class. | ||
44 | nnaditz | 11/17/11 | 8:09 PM | @SECottrell @tmsaue1 #langchat my failures are almost always due to sthg I didn't plan thoroughly | ||
45 | suarez712002 | 11/17/11 | 8:09 PM | we need to spend time building good rapport w/students #langchat | ||
46 | SECottrell | 11/17/11 | 8:09 PM | With my little ones, I have gesture cues to indicate if I want whole-class response or individual (raised hand) #langchat | ||
47 | WatchKnowLearn | 11/17/11 | 8:09 PM | My entire week is center-based. Groups of 4 rotate every 20 minutes. I flip the light off and on to signal and change. #langchat | ||

51 | pamwesely | 11/17/11 | 8:10 PM | Ooh some new arrivals at #langchat at #actfl11 they'll pop in soon! | ||
52 | suarez712002 | 11/17/11 | 8:10 PM | if you have a challenging class ask administration to observe THAT class and not the class where sts are motivated #langchat | ||

55 | jklopp | 11/17/11 | 8:10 PM | #langchat get the problem kids to talk about themselves in the tl - give troublemakers attention that they want | ||
56 | profesorM | 11/17/11 | 8:11 PM | Sometimes i play Spanish music while they are working, whe. The music stops, so do they. #langchat #actfl11 | ||
57 | dr_dmd | 11/17/11 | 8:11 PM | #langchat Helpful to learn some activity structures (inside outside circle, for example) and routines, procedures - all agree to keep them | ||
58 | WatchKnowLearn | 11/17/11 | 8:11 PM | My kids also know, if the lights stay off, it is a no talking zone. Done at the end of centers it seems to calm them down. #langchat | ||

67 | nnaditz | 11/17/11 | 8:12 PM | @tmsaue1 #langchat in my personal experience, I would say most are; or not clearly understanding expectation (which still comes back to me) | ||
68 | alenord | 11/17/11 | 8:12 PM | I scaffold my activities just like I do my lessons. Ss know we have to start simple and work our way up. #langchat | ||
