Prompt 1:
Two things I am proud of are: I am happy that my students have somewhat of an entrance procedure. Everyday my students know to enter the classroom and take a piece of paper from the back of the room and sit down. I am also proud that I continue to try to implement knew activities and things in my class room. Sometimes they are successful and sometimes they don't work but I am continuing to try! Two things I want to improve on are I would like to improve my management so that students don't talk when I am talking. I would also like to make my activities more interactive in order to increase engagement. I am going to try and do this by increasing the number of Kagan activities that I use in my classroom. I think that making my activities more engaging will also help with management.
Kagan is the gold standard! Thank you for trying! Even as a 12 year teacher I would try something new and sometimes it would fall flat. But, the students (usually) appreciated that I was trying. I always equated it to solving a math problem.... sometimes it works and sometimes you have to adjust. :-)
