“There is no such thing as promotion from the classroom; a ‘promotion’
will take you out of your classroom. (26).”

How to Teach School Real Good
by Dick Gaillard
Humor and sometimes Satire
Gilliard First Day TipGilliard First Day Tip
“Begin your classes in a business like manner. Start the year off on the first day with work. Real work. Don’t smile and don’t parry questions about your marital status or past life. Dive right in. Don’t joke or try to amuse your students and don’t try to be a ‘nice’ person” (96).

after a few weeks (move into groups then return to rows).
3. Engaged students usually are well behaved students
4. Be consistent5. Be firm, not mean.6. Follow through every time.
Classroom ManagementClassroom Management
7. Find a teacher to help (mentor). 8. Get specific tips for difficult objectives –
usually students hard to control when they don’t understand.
9. Restroom passes and system- important10. Free time management when
independent work complete.
Classroom ManagementClassroom Management
Student goal for class period – helps with staggered finishing times.
1.The objective for this period. 2.Assignment – how will you achieve it
(keep focused, don’t talk with friends, ask questions if needed)
3.If you finish what other work will you do?4.End of period – did you finish? Why or why
not?

Advice from Gaillard “Treat the biggest meanest kid you’ve got
as firmly as you would anyone else. Never hesitate to punish a student for an infraction of your rules. Make it swift and sure every time it’s necessary. ..Once you've established absolute control of your classroom, pass out compliments by the bushels.”

Best ally or worst enemy - your choice
You may not be impressed with their child. But understand, parents are giving you the “Best they have.”
Chances of being successful with parental help high – without it much lower.

21st Century Reality Check

Re-tool Lesson Plans
Use standard curriculum with modern tools
Instead of just exchanging papers with peer next to you, peer edit on Moodle with a school across the nation.(C) revise drafts to improve style, word choice, figurative language, sentence
variety, and subtlety of meaning after rethinking how well questions of purpose, audience, and genre have been addressed; 63
Re-tool Existing Lesson Plans Instead of just
presenting within one class for one teacher, have students write an essay and read it out loud to students in a different school; listen to stories from students in a far site
(2) c. (24) Listening and Speaking/Listening. Students will use comprehension skills to listen attentively to others in formal and informal settings. (25) (25) Listening and Speaking/Speaking. Students speak clearly and to the point, (16) writing ) an organizing structure appropriate to the purpose, audience, and context;
64
Re-tool Old Lesson Plans
Instead of just reading poems to class, conduct a poetry slam with different school districts
14) Writing/Literary Texts(B) write a poem using a variety of poetic techniques (e.g., structural elements, figurative language) and a variety of poetic forms (e.g., sonnets, ballads); and 65
