Applying "The First Days of School"

by lostsuteacher

Jun 11, 2012

Hi everyone,

Well, I finished student teaching in a daze; my cooperating teacher didn't let me have a lot of control of the class, or maybe I was too afraid to ask for complete control, and I didn't get to Dr. Wong's chapter on classroom management until I was well into my student teaching experience. The results? I was a mediocre student teacher who struggled the whole semester, got mediocre reviews, and graduated not knowing half of what I feel like I need to know. After graduating, I decided to substitute teach. I discovered my skills, including classroom management, were truly abysmal, and I was mostly only hired for day-to-day jobs. I had no idea how to apply Dr. Wong's book to substitute teaching. Now, I've gone through a semester of student teaching and almost a year of substitute teaching, and I still feel brand new and incompetent to teach. To make matters worse, the district is probably more than aware of bad substitute teaching track record. What should I do?
