Description

Picture this scenario. You're outside with 48 second graders. The lesson for the day is striking a ball with your feet. Every child has a soccer ball that they are dribbling around the field. Some of the students are performing as you demonstrated, while others are performing at their own pace. You spot a student at the far end of the soccer field performing the skill exactly as you taught it. You want to praise him and at the same time provide a peer model for the rest of the class, but ... you don't know his name. You yell out, "Hey, you in the green!" Some stop, others continue, but the moment, in a blink of an eye, is lost. The boy you wanted to praise and hold up as a model for everyone else didn't realize you were talking to him. It doesn't matter if you are a classroom teacher with 20 students, an itinerant at a school with three classes, or the full time teacher at the school who oversees all 750 students. Learning the names of the students is an important classroom management tool. For some teachers remembering names is a gift--for others it's a daily challenge. We have all heard of name-learning techniques (e.g., alliteration, using the name several times in conversation, name tags, having the children tell you their names when they enter and leave the gym, and taking photos of the children (Williams, 1995). Laney's Success Model for First Year Students suggests, "To further advocate student transition and academic success, teacher's plans should include such items as learning students' names" (Gardenhire, 1996). Granted, Gardenhire's target audience is college professors aiding in the transition of college students, but with this insight you can better understand the benefits of a classroom teacher's plans including, learning student's names at the beginning of a new school year.
