I think it's critical to keep the kids busy in order to maintain a classroom. With that said, it's imperative that the tasks be worthwhile, objectives explained, real world application discussed, and that it does not turn into busy work and worksheets to accomplish a quiet classroom. In fact, student engagement may mean a room of organized chaos, and that's ok! <br /><br />We have to be careful how we define classroom management sometimes... it doesn't have to mean a perfectly docile group of kids in straight rows listening to the teacher lecture. If that's what a teacher believes, a paradigm shift may be in order!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-12290172257429228242009-05-12T13:13:00.000-05:002009-05-12T13:13:00.000-05:00Thanks for the input!
