CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT, & MOTIVATION

TASK 1

Of the two scenarios presented in Task 1 I focused on scenario 2 in a second grade classroom. A typical second grade classroom will have children ranging in age from 6 to 8. Per the scenario, at the beginning of the year Mr Collet verbally explains his homework policy and gives his students handouts for themselves and their parents with all of the information.

students returning from excused or unexcused absences will need to complete make up work. Therefore, it is important that teachers create late work and make up work policies that they can follow consistently and with a minimum of effort. Anything less will result in confusion and further problems.

If you do not have a consistent late work policy, your students will notice. Students who turn their work in on time will be upset and those who are consistently late will take advantage of you. The key to an effective late work and make up work policy is your daily enforcement. Once you pick what you want for you policy, then stick to it. Only by your consistent actions will this become one less worry in your school day. Here is an example of a late work policy that a teacher might hand out to students and parents at the beginning of the year. You can use this as a model once you answer each of the questions listed in this article. (Kelly, 2015)
