Harry & Rosemary Wong: Effective Teaching - Teachers.Net Gazette - 3 views

  • The I Can’t Funeral started with every student thinking of one thing they either did not feel successful in last year, or that often made them think, “I can’t do that.”  They each wrote their “I Can’t” on an index card.  Then, while playing very sad music, they placed the card in a “funeral box” and said their farewells to their “I Can’ts.”  They buried the “I Can’t” funeral box in Amanda’s car trunk.
  • ude: Give each student a job. Practice procedures. Learn to be a good listener. Have signals to take care of the small stuff. Create a mailbox. Smile and laugh. Be energetic. Say Thank You/Give certificates. Hold an “I Can’t Funeral.” Come up with a class motto or quote. Tell them why they are learning.

  • Amanda used a PowerPoint presentation to introduce her classroom procedures.  After each slide, the class stopped and practiced each new procedure.  Her repeated practice paid off as the procedures quickly become routines for the students.  Without any prompting, the students knew what to do and followed procedures in a responsible manner.

    Hey Dennis, Teachers.net looks like an interesting network, but I didn't understand how the specific link you've provided here informs us about social networks or PLCs, in particular.

    When I was teaching in the D.C. area, Harry Wong's ideas got me through. Universities really don't teach teachers how to manage an unruly classroom. Studying the ideas of Wong allowed me to exit survival mode and enter teaching mode.

    Hi Dennis, curious why you shared this resource in a group called "social network learning?" Do you see a connection somewhere? Thanks.
