What weaknesses do you see in Marcia's classroom management?
What will be an ideal response?
Weaknesses include the following:
• The line of students in front of Marcia's desk prevents her from seeing what other students are doing. Ideally Marcia should display withitness, conveying the impression that she knows what all of her students are doing at all times.
• The students who are waiting in line cannot work on their seatwork assignment. Especially if they must wait in line for an extended period, they may get noisy or unruly.
• Marcia should either provide an assignment appropriate for Jodie's reading level or else provide sufficient scaffolding that would enable Jodie to complete the assignment that other students are doing. Marcia does neither.
• Marcia ignores Jodie's noncompliance with requests to get back to work.
• Because of the window between the classroom and the corridor, sending Jodie outside the classroom does not eliminate her distracting influence.
