I think that most of the things that I know about this topic I knew from common sense as being a student and just from life experience. I don't think the management piece was concentrated on very much thus far, but what I have been exposed to has been fairly interesting. I think the most effective way for managing order is all about balance. You can't be too strict as an educator, or students' creativity is shut off. However, you can't be the funny teacher that gets no respect (or work done) either. I think there is a fine line between being compatible and personable with students but at the same time maintaining authority. This will be especially important during our first of years as teachers, because we will be so close in age with our students.
I think the book readings, especially chapters 3 & 4, helped me grasp management concepts.
Like I said, the things that I think I really knew already were just from life experience, so I don't think there was really any redundant material.
What is a method of making your students feel comfortable enough to share personal information with you, but not so much that they think you're "another kid" ?
