I also thought that chapter ten served as a "highlight reel" for the entire book, and the course so far. I think that the tips, especially the ones for new teachers, are one of the most valuable sections of the book. It is the…"
Emily Murray replied to Megan Falcone's discussion Chapter 10 in the group Spectacular 20588"Megan,
I think having the teaching portfolio is a great idea and finding that you find it from this course was very understanding. I also feel that my observation of a classroom helped me understand certain aspects of teaching and what is…"

I am so jealous that you started your teaching portfolio already!! I really need to get a start on my portfolio. That's one of the things that I really enjoyed and ultimately benefited from this chapter. The section about starting…"
Miranda Kay Lim replied to Megan Falcone's discussion Chapter 10 in the group Spectacular 20588"Megan, I think it's awesome that you started a teaching portfolio, it's better to get a head start on it then wait until the last minute. I do agree that the "Tips for New Teachers" is incredibly beneficial now and will be a…"
Megan Falcone replied to Jessica Dills's discussion Chapter 10 post in the group Spectacular 20588"Jessica,
I too found chapter 10 to be very informative. It was a great review of all we learned this semester. One of the things we learned, was how to prepare a portfolio and I am also excited to begin to create my teaching portfolio. I think…"
Megan Falcone replied to Miranda Kay Lim's discussion Chapter 10 Weekly Post in the group Spectacular 20588"Miranda,
I understand your concerns, but as a new teacher I think I will focus on my classroom, my students, and being the very best teacher I can be. There are always going to be administrative decisions made on different levels that we don't…"

Chapter 10
I really enjoyed chapter 10. I felt much of the chapter reviewed and highlighted many of the things we learned over the past semester. I also enjoyed the teaching stories included in this chapter. The story of Jaime and her dedication to her students reminded me of the feelings many of us expressed as to why we were choosing the teaching profession. There is no doubt teaching can be wonderfully satisfying and rewarding. I greatly appreciated, "Tips for New Teachers" and have recorded this list…See More

http://www.kindergartenworks.com/classroom-management/12-tips-to-start-successful/This last chapter talked about classroom management and classroom community. I searched for an education link that particularly pertained to kindergarten classrooms, since that is what I hope to teach one day. This link gives some excellent ideas for setting procedures, rewards programs, and connecting with parents. See More
Brianna Rowland replied to Megan Falcone's discussion Chapter 9 in the group Spectacular 20588"Hey Megan!
I agree that mutual respect is very important in a classroom setting. When having mutual respect, students will follow the rules and work together as a whole which is a huge part of having a community within the classroom. I also have…"

Megan Falcone replied to Miranda Kay Lim's discussion Chapter 9 Weekly Web Post in the group Spectacular 20588"Miranda,
You are correct, this chapter focused on many important aspects of managing a classroom. I agree it is very important to establish a classroom community built on mutual respect. Students should feel like they are part of a classroom family…"
Megan Falcone replied to Courtney Lancaster's discussion Chapter 9 in the group Spectacular 20588"Courtney,
You are totally correct regarding the importance of a classroom being a safe place. Students spend the majority of their day in their classroom. It is important for students to feel safe and not intimidated by physical, verbal, or…"
Megan Falcone replied to Amber Lynn Winterbottom's discussion Chapter 9 Web Post in the group Spectacular 20588"Amber,
I totally agree with your feelings on the section of classroom management and classroom community. I think this was a most valuable chapter. I too can compare the kindergarten and first grade classes I visited, and can see how the arrangement…"

I found this chapter to be most interesting. The section on classroom management and classroom community was an extremely valuable lesson. I remember my elementary school days were times when teachers set all the classroom rules for everyone to follow. As I moved into middle and high school, I realize now this setting was much more one of a classroom community. Classroom rules and procedures were developed from a more collaborative effort. A setting of mutual respect developed and every student…See More

USF Learning Project
My question to the USF advisors related to a degree in Elementary Education as well as Exceptional Student Education. Along with my desire to earn a degree in Elementary Education, I have always had an additional interest in working with special education students. I was under the impression it would be best to earn a degree in elementary education and then add a minor in special education. As a result of our USF blog, I learned it was actually two distinctly different degrees. The…
