Keeping Track of Everyone And Everything
One of my biggest successes has been in my ability to organize and develop good classroom management. I believe we all have it in us, to an extent, but some are better than others. I think it is a learned skill. I also believe if you are organized, you can afford to be more flexible.
That seems like somewhat of a backward thought. It would seem the more organized a person is, the more rigid he or she would be. But the more you have everything in order, and the more you know where everything is, the more flexible you can be when something you have to deal with pops up out of the blue. I find myself less stressed and more able to be flexible, when there is a system in place.
