=1-1 Classroom Management: Creative Chaos=

Overview
Now that you have explored multiple scenarios wearing your different "hats", you will focus on specific situations as related to classroom management in a 1:1 classroom. In this session, you will analyze different classroom scenarios as related to: infrastructure, desk/table arrangement, positioning and movement of the facilitator, development and buy-in regarding classroom norms, detailed planning, controlled/creative chaos, leveraging students as technology teacher assistants, etc.

Objectives

 * Analyze classroom scenarios teachers may experience
 * Examine the scenarios from various perspectives as related to classroom management in a technology rich environment
 * Consider solutions and outcomes

Groupings
For this activity you should remain in your group. Exchange your hat with a fellow group member. The role indicated on the hat is the role you will play in this activity.

Activity

 * After forming your group, a member at the table should draw a scenario from the deck of cards at the table.
 * Classroom Management Scenarios
 * The ITF (identified by the hat) should read the scenario aloud to the group.
 * Next, each member of the group should analyze the scenario based upon their unique identities and roles within the school community. A group discussion should commence- led by the ITF at the table. Do not simply go around the table giving your opinions, but instead challenge each other regarding your opinions and try to come to a common consensus regarding how to resolve the issue. Remember you are looking at each scenario through the lens of classroom management.
 * At the end of the session, we will have a role alike discussion.

You may want to analyze the scenarios using the following guiding questions. From your viewpoint (identity) consider:
 * What feelings are triggered upon learning of this scenario?
 * How does traditional classroom management differ or remain the same in this scenario?
 * What biases or personal opinions separate from any school policies do you bring to the table?
 * How could school resources be used to help the teacher in this situation?


 * Within your discussion, take note of how your role is intersecting with the scenario(s). Later you will record these.**
