Wong # 2: The First Day of School

       Brand new bags, shoes, uniforms, freshly combed hair, an aroma of perfume and mischievous smiles litter the campus on the first day of school, a common scenario for everyone for it marks a new chapter not just in a students' life but it also paves way for teachers to establishes a connection between the students.

        Harry Wong emphasized that it's important to already establish classroom management at the very first second of the first day of school like the seating arrangement and the bell work that needs to be done within the day. Seating arrangements are important to avoid misbehaving students to become power rangers of destruction inside the classroom and in addition, the seating chart or plan helps with the checking of attendance, it's easier and convenient. The bell work according to Wong should be placed in the same area in the classroom so that it automatically becomes a habit for the students to do work immediately and it's less of a hassle to constantly remind the students to behave and work.

      The researches and ideas presented by Wong is truly a help for teachers, it serves as a guide to become effective teachers, we just have to "Own it" and implement it in our classroom not just for our convenience but most importantly for the learners.

  1. I totally agree about establishing classroom management. For teachers or the future educators, it is significant to have classroom management. We have this teacher in our prof. ed. subjects. He has that bell whenever we do an activity, if he says 15 minutes, we should be done by 15 minutes. He walks his talk meaning if he says something, surely he will get it done. Even on our first day he oriented us about the seating arrangement. So whenever he will come and time for his class, we make sure the seats are arranged. And we are probably seated. Until it became a habit and we marked in our minds and hearts and will apply it for our future students.
