Subject: Student Teaching

This weekend, Dr. Marlatt and I joined two other teachers to give a presentation on "Student Teaching Perspectives." During this presentation, I touched briefly on a few things that I, myself, feel that we are not fully prepared for through our music education curriculum. I had similar responses from those students in other areas of the state. A couple of these ideas included special education and classroom management. We are not taught classroom management. We learn through experience and ideas of others. But where do we start? What works for one teacher may or may not work for you. How do the rest of you feel about your preparedness in these areas? Are there any other areas in which you feel we lack the education or understanding in? Let me know!

Classroom management has definitely been a concern of mine. Crowd control is not my forte. I want to be kind and liked by my students, yet somehow establish a rapport that requires respect and discipline. In one of my grad classes this past summer I spoke with a high school choir director that was considering completing a literature review on classroom management for music educators. She was unable to find enough information and empirical research to utilize that topic. I believe that alone suggests that classroom management has not been a priority in the field of education.

I agree that we do not nearly get enough special education training. Even a cheat sheet/packet that would describe different disorders and their symptoms would be helpful. As far as classroom management, I don't know if we can learn much more about it in class. I believe half of a classroom management strategy is related to one's personality.
