Miller Section 1: Not this
11-30-15
As I
read this section I felt as though the focus was pointing out that we all have
time waster that we do in our classroom routines that we might need to
re-evaluate to see if they need to continue. I thought about what my time
wasters are. They include calling roll for each class that comes to me, how I
move 1st graders to the mat, and how I pass out books. I am sure
there are others. So in evaluating these procedures, are there some that I
could change to make better use of my time with my students? I can certainly
justify each as a safety precaution or a way to make my life easier as a
teacher. This section has me thinking about ways to improve the quality of the
time I have with my students.
Time wasters are hiding all over the place, aren't they? You've done a nice job naming some time wasters hiding in your routines. Did you have any ideas for how to turn these time wasters into more efficient uses of time?
