                      In Video 1, Sandra Jenoski started on day 1 with routine and practice for 6 to 8 weeks. After the 6 to 8 weeks, the students were supposed to be more independent. She said that if you do not spend the first part of the class letting the students know your expectations,  they will be confused and not know what they should be doing or what you expect them to do. Voncille Ross said you should establish a learning community with the students beginning with circle time. This would develop respect between the students and teachers. Shaina Martinez said to listen to the students. Students will appreciate you taking an interest in them. You should make the students feel comfortable so they can share with you. Ilene Miller said when choosing groups you should take time to consider your options and make sure all children are involved in learning.

                The classroom management may differ  because of the ages of their students. The learning community works well with the younger students. The secondary schools,  have less time so it would be hard to have a learning circle before every class.  Shaina Martinez’s students, because they are older, just want to be listened to and respected.  The students should be involved, so that they can be part of the learning community and so they know what is expected of them.


            In Video 2, the advice is to get to know as many types of students as you can to be prepare din your classroom management.
