What I learned from the Interviews I gave to Teachers
Classroom rules
Almost all of the required rules are; Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. I also learned that it's good for the kids to come up with some rules on their own because it helps the students follow thorough a little better.
Time Management and Organization
It's good to have a daily and weekly planners, files are really good to help you organize any lessons you have planned.
Communicating with Parents
The most efficient way to communicate with a parent is through email, but if it is about something serious then face-to-face is something you would do.
Teaching Techniques
Songs are really good to grab a little kids attention, and help them remember what they are learning because of the rhythm.
Teaching Techniques
Games are also a good way to grab a kids attention. Either in a class activity or a educational learning game on the computer or a tablet.
Teaching Techniques
Hands on learning is a good way to teach kids because kids like making things.
Classroom design
A classroom is set up how you want it to be set up, you get to decide what's best for your classroom.
I created a future classroom that I would like to have: http://floorplanner.com/projects/37146054-kindergarden-class-room/edit#assets;q=school
