women teaching
When the common school reform took place, it was natural for women to begin to take over the jobs of the male teachers in the mid to late 1700’s. Socially it made more sense to people during that era to have a woman tend to the children whether it be at school or at home, it was economically more efficient, and it helped spread the protestant values of “good Americans”. It may have been socially difficult to accept when women first started leaving their homes to enter the working world as teachers because women were generally thought to have their own separate sphere of domesticity, meaning they belonged in the home. When women became teachers, they separated home and work place.
Women have always been thought to have natural child rearing tendencies because they have commonly been the one’s left at home to raise the children as the men went to work. Therefore, when women started to take on the role of teacher, it was not a big social shock because if women are good with children in the home setting they should also work well with children in a school setting.
In order for women to be accepted as teachers, there needed to be reasons that would benefit society. Women have been thought to have better morals.

Throughout the history women always had fewer rights and job opportunities than men. The only professions women could obtain until recently were wifehood and motherhood. In the 20th century, however, women in most nations have started the fight for the right to vote and increased their educational and career opportunities. Perhaps most important, they fought for and in many ways accomplished a reevaluation of traditional perception of their role in society.
Tests made in the 1960s showed that the scholastic achievement of girls was higher in the early grades than in high school.1 The explanation to this fact was given that the girls' own expectations declined because both their families and their teachers didn’t consider their role other than that in marriage and motherhood. This view has been changing recently.
By the end of the 19th century, the number of women students had increased greatly. Higher education was expanded, in fact, by the rise of women's colleges and the admission of women to regular colleges and universities. In 1870 an estimated
1. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. An obvious point? Maybe, but it’s an important foundation for effective time management in the classroom because it ensures you…
2. Know exactly what you want to achieve. At the start, make clear to your class what they will gain. I usually say something like ‘At 11 o’clock I’d like you to walk out of here knowing how to…’. Write what you want to achieve somewhere everyone can see it.
3. Delegate work to students, such as giving out books/resources and collecting in. What can you outsource to them that can free you up to do more of what’s really important?
4. Be flexible. Sometimes things don’t work out as planned. Is that okay with you, or do you need to stick rigidly to the plan? As long as the end is kept in mind, a bit of deviation along the way is okay, even fun.
5. Expect the unexpected and allow for it - This is particularly important when allowing time to get their attention - an essential pre-requisite for effective time management in the classroom.
6. Take a brain break – After 30 minutes, or at a natural hiatus, give them (and yourself) a two minute brain break. Let them talk about anything except the subject matter. You might even want to employ a bit of reverse psychology and insist on it. I’ve found this works with students of all ages, abilities, and attitudes.
