Having completed your first year of teaching, with its ups and downs, you are planning for great success in your second year. You want to prevent behavior problems by doing what effective teachers do, so you take a second look at Kounin's findings, and
come up with four resolutions to follow in your classroom. These are four rules for yourself, not for students. You will monitor your teaching daily to make sure you implement these resolutions.
Describe your set of four "rules for teachers" based on the strategies Kounin derived from observations of effective teachers. Explain why a teacher should follow each directive. What challenges do you think you would encounter in following your plan?
What will be an ideal response?
Based on Kounin's work, a set of directives for teachers might include maintaining momentum, maintaining smoothness, managing transitions, group focus, withitness, and overlapping. Teaching engaging lessons is an approach that would complement Kounin's concepts.
