Proximity in the Classroom

This presentation will focus on several important components of effective classroom management. We will provide research and personal, anecdotal examples of the importance and effectiveness of proximity in the classroom for classroom management. A key component of this is the concept of “working the crowd” (Jones, 2007). The goal of this practice is to minimize student disruptions and help keep students focused. This necessitates the teacher to be mobile rather than static during classroom instruction and educational activities. It is also vital to intentionally create a classroom design that not only enhances the teacher’s ability to work the crowd, but also works to limit opportunities for student off task behavior and disruptions. These are the key concepts which we will be attempting to communicate through our presentation.

Kids These Days

Our presentation will examine the lives of two adolescent students, one male and one female. By comparing and contrasting the lives and experience of these two young individuals, we will assess their developmental statuses through the lens of five different domains. These domains are: cognitive, social, physical, identity, and moral/values. The methods we used to gather our data were interviews, observations, assessments and extend data. The findings for one of the adolescents, Elizabeth, suggest that she is right on course for normal development. The only improvement would be to work on her physical development by eating a healthier diet and exercising more often. The findings for the other adolescent, Diego, suggest that he is also developing in a healthy manner. The only recommendation for him would be to improve his relationship with his mother by showing her more respect. We will discuss our findings in full detail during our presentation.
