It’s done (mostly!) I have had that assignment buzzing around in my head for weeks, and yesterday it all flowed out onto the screen and now my website is up and running! I suppose all those nights when Icouldn’t sleep for thinking about it and having brilliant ideas were worth it 
You can see it at

The only thing left to do is for you – any feedback you can give me to make the website flow better, and any suggestions of classroom management strategies would be much appreciated. We’ve all got something to share so why not share it here?
Use these questions to guide your thinking as you read the website:
- Have you learnt anything new from my website or has it reminded you of something you think is particularly important to classroom management?
- Do you have any suggestions on the strategies I have discussed or do you have any others to add?
- Is the website easy to follow and well-presented?
I hope you enjoy reading it!!
Hi Erin,
I think the website you have created is just fantastic! I had no trouble navigating around it. I have been toying with the idea of making my assignment into a website for ages but seeing yours gave me the confidence to do it. I should have it finished soon.
I did behaviour management as my first assignment, and I have one suggestion to make regarding your “best practice.” I think it is important to include building strong relationships with students and planning interesting lessons so that they are less likely to misbehave.
Also I would recommend reading ‘a coat of many pockets.’ It details how to get students to take responsibility for their own behaviour.
Steve,
I’m glad to have helped with the confidence factor! I can’t wait to see your website. Thank you for the feedback – its nice to hear the website works and looks good (I’m biased!!), and I appreciate the suggestions to improve the best practice section.
Thanks,
Erin
Yay for referring to my blog! I can give you the actual date I wrote that report also, if you so desire…
I like the simple layout you’ve used, the format is easy to follow and your ideas are very well presented. I’d agree with having a look through ‘Coat of Many Pockets’, I used it briefly for my EET project and will be comming back to it when I get around to finishing my EXE.
The depth of thought on this topic is also evident in how you have written. I agree with you that there is a lot of information out there on the topic, it all becomes a matter of practice, and finding what works.
Keep it up!
It was May 19th. I thought i sposted the dates on pages automatically… but apparantly not. I should start to include them.
Erin, I agree with the others that it is very well set out and that it is easy to navigate.
I will also agree that the Coat of many pockets is a good book though I haven’t used it that much yet.
Personally you have reminded me of certain things that I will need to put into my writing, since I am doing the same focus topic though also learning styles, so I shall probably end up referencing your website at some stage. (If I don’t then poke me with a medium sharp stick)
Nor for me to actually finish writing mine up
Well done Erin
