Section C

Well-Managed Classroom

I am studying English in SSE. Now I am in 5^th semester. In SSE every student should do school experience program every semester. It means that I have done 5 times school experience program. Then now I have to choose which one from my school experiences which have well-managed classroom ever.

I have done my school experience in elementary school, junior high school and senior high school either private or public school. Before I choose which one the most well-managed classroom I will try to define what well-managed class is like.

Before I learnt what well-managed classroom is from MMSEL course, actually I have experienced by myself as a student how well-managed classroom conducts. I have experienced in SSE from my lecturers and I am as a student. So what my lecturers usually do become my barometer how well-managed classroom is.

A teacher should be a multitalented person. I mean that in classroom teacher may become a manager, an observer, a facilitator and an educator. If I can create a meaningful learning and can achieve learning goals, it means that I am near to well-managed classroom.

Grade 11 Science from high school 44 Jakarta is chosen by me as my well-managed classroom. That was my class which I taught at 5^th semerter school experience program. At that time I taught spoof text. Based on my lesson plan I designed individual and group activities. I also conducted gallery walk. As the result everything that I have planned went well.

Definitely there were some factors which made it become my well-managed classroom. First that when somebody talked everybody have to pay attention to her or him.  So when I talked to them, they paid attention to me. It made me easier when I gave instructions in every activities to them. So I have never repeated more than two times when I gave the instructions. I also gave them opportunity to ask me if there was something that they did not understand yet. Of course I have listened and paid attention. That showed how important teacher become a good manager and also become a good listener.

Second was clear regulation. When the students were doing assignment they have to be told when they have to finish the work. If I said finish the work for fifteen minutes that they have to be ready for that. I did not forget to always check their work during they were working.

The last was my preparation. I prepared all the things before I entered the class. I prepared the power point, laptop and projector before the class began. I prepared the comic strips for the group work and I also prepared worksheet for individual work. I also prepared flipcharts and markers for gallery walk. What I did before entered the class was check and recheck all the teaching materials. So when I did my teaching I did not panic to do my plan B or C because everything was ready.

Hopefully my next school experience can be also my well-managed classroom. I will plan everything better. I will try to observe before I enter the class and I will think what I ideally to do in class.
