Practice: Now it is your turn to use one of the 8 lenses to better understand classroom climate.
For this Practice Activity you will need to download the following from Laulima:
1. Classroom Management Lens Checklist (Click on Resources. Next, Click Module #1 Materials, Click on 8 Lenses Observation)
2. Learning Climate Lens Checklist (Click on Resources. Next, Click Module #1 Materials, Click on 8 Lenses Observation)
3. Ms. Koker Dialogue (Click on Resources. Next, Click Module #1 Materials, Click on Ms. Koker Dialogue)
After reading the Ms. Koker Dialogue answer the following QUESTIONS and post your response to the Laulima Discussion Board:
1. What did you notice about Ms. Koker’s classroom management style? Did it appear to be more of a reaction to student behavior than a well-organized system of procedures thought out in advance? Make sure to reference characteristics you noticed from the checklist. Provide at least 2 examples.
2. What did you notice about the Learning Climate? How did you rate the Classroom Warmth? And Control? (scale of 1 - 7)
Write your responses on the Discussion Board and compare your responses with others. Respond to at least one other person in our class that offered you a different perspective to consider.
Finally, continue to use ALL eight lenses as a guide while observing in your OP classrooms. This will be even more productive if your plan what Lens you wish to use before your classroom visit.
Your response to the Discussion Board is DUE by Tuesday, Sept 11 - by 5:00 PM on the Laulima Discussion Board.
