Haley B and My Final Studiocode Post

What did I learn about my management? I realized that although the students I had in this lesson were pretty good, it would have been good to have a whistle to use for my signals. I think it would have been good to go over the importance of following the signals I gave. I used signals a lot, which was good and kept students in order. I used good transitions throughout the lesson. I felt like things moved along smoothly and the students understood why we were doing each thing like stretching and a warm up activity. In this activity there was not a huge need for very many formations, but the formations that I used were good and I was happy with the way the formations looked. Overall, I think that my management of this class went well. There were times when kids were off task and I did not realize which can be improved on. 

What did I learn about my class instruction? Equipment collection went really well. I made it clear what the students needed to do and almost all of the students did it right away. There was one student that played with his dot for a bit before he put it down, so before having them pick up the equipment it would have been good to make sure they knew not to mess around with any of it. I give good individual feedback, but I usually only say "good job." That would be something to improve. I am also disappointed that I did not give very much positive feedback to the class as a whole, and didn't give feedback to students who needed help with the dance moves. I think I did the best on going over rules. I made sure they knew what they needed to do, I could have stressed the importance of some rules more, but overall I did well with that.

Improvement. I need to make sure to always have a whistle with me. It helps a lot because the children can hear it easier and they are most likely used to responding to a whistle. I also need to make sure students know not to play with the equipment as they are collecting it. Along with that, I need to make sure that I say when before what so they don't start moving and doing things before I say go. That would create less chaos. I can also make sure that the students know how important the rules are and the importance of following them. The thing I need to work on most is feedback. I need to give more and more of a variety of feedback. Those are a few things that I saw that I need to work on.
