I thought all of my peers did an excellent job during their lessons. Caroline was really patient with us and walked us through a simple activity. Gabby did a great job at maintaining our behavior and showed great confidence while teaching us. I enjoyed the lesson where we cut up strips and tried to find a cause and effect for them because I think it was an activity that could be utilized in different ways for different lessons and it was something that could be tweaked to use on the Smart Board as well.
What I found consistent in a couple of lessons though, was that many students didn't want to go through the actual motions of disciplining a student even though there were moments when "a child" obviously needed to be reprimanded a little more heavily than just having their name written on the board. A great piece of advice of Professor Luongo's was that as teachers, when we make the rules and their consequences clear to the students, we should follow through with them when the rules are broken. Students, especially students who misbehave, need consistency and a reason NOT to misbehave.
