Ça suffit! EnoughisEnough. Classroom Management and Teaching French Miss Kelsey Lademan Albion College 2012 Jackson High School
Importance of Foreign Language Education Developing skills needed to prosper in 21st century Cognitive benefits of foreign language study Academic benefits Benefiting low-income children
Specific Skills in Learning French Reading Writing Speaking Listening Cultural Knowledge Responsibilities
Philosophy of Teaching Fostering a community of learning - Constructing a safe environment - Maintaining mutual and self respect - Promoting student-student interactions
Why Classroom Management? My student teaching experience Jackson High School - Target class: French 1-A (2nd and 4th hour) - French 2-A and French 3/4-C One challenge after another - Consistently disrespectful - Classroom set-up
Discipline: Consequences versus Punishments Punishment: - Does not serve as a learning purpose. Consequences: - Constructive outcome: an end result of a child’s inappropriate act.
“I can wait” Planned wait time - Students quiet themselves - Students become leaders - Lesson moves at a faster pace “Even though it seems like you are wasting valuable instruction time waiting for students to be done speaking out of turn. When in fact, planned wait time will eventually increase the time you have to teach.”
“Notes again? We always take notes in this class!” • Problems I encountered • Students not taking notes • My solution - More engaging methods of note taking • VoiceThread • ‘Engaging’ PowerPoints • Bring my personality to class

StudentResponses I cant remember the last time I took notes in here. Miss Lademan has tricks. I’m taking notes! This be obnoxious, Miss Lademan. And everyone is laughing. Not a single head was down that day.
VoiceThread http://voicethread.com/?#u3218729.b3579870.i18709480 Method of review Ability to circulate the classroom Engages the interest of students Adheres to the needs of different types of learners
StudentResponses This wasn’t very helpful because I understood the notes on definite and indefinite articles that we took yesterday It was cool. It’s nice having something new. I didn’t get what we went over yesterday and people weren’t talking during your video today so I understood it better. You’re notes are a little too fast and this went slow enough that I understood.
Bring ‘Yourself’ to the Classroom “Mademoiselle Lademan. You’re like, right out of a Harry Potter book.” “Miss Lademan… more like Miss Badaman.” “I can relate to you. I feel like there are so many teachers I can’t relate to, but you are yourself an that makes me feel more comfortable in class.” I am unique and I bring my personality every day to my classroom.
Communication Establishing relationships Highlighting strengths before, and after addressing weaknesses Proactive counsel I CARE. I did CARE. I will CARE. I CARE
The Big Picture Foreign language study benefits the generations that will soon be running our more globalized nation. In order for students to develop foreign language communication skills, they need to be involved in a positive learning community.
