CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
"Will what I am about to do or say bring me
closer to the person with whom I am communicating—or will it push me further away?"
Five Questions that will improve your teaching, by Larry Ferlazzo
TEN TIPS…
① Build Community
② Design a Safe, Friendly,& Well-Managed Classroom Environment
③ Include Students in Creating Rules, Norms, Routines & Consequences
STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN RULE SETTING…
Have students brainstorm characteristics of both a “good” student and a “good” teacher.
Collect their responses.
Share the most common responses with students (weed out the ones you can’t live with)
These characteristics can help to develop rules and guidelines for how the class will run.
TEN TIPS…
④ Create a Variety of Communication Channels
⑤ Always Be Calm, Fair & Consistent
CONSISTENCY “ We are the authors of what happens
in the classroom. Students follow our lead and behave in ways that we unconsciously allow.”
From, Conscious Classroom Management, Rick Smith
Be consistent with procedures. When students call out, we need to honour the procedure rather that the content.
Get all students actively on task before handling individual conversations with any of them.
CONSISTENCY
Stay focused on your topic even as students try to change it.
Teaching and re-teaching procedures.
Enforcing and following through with consequences.
Starting and ending class on time.
Welcoming and encouraging students.
RELAXING INTO CONSISTENCY
Being consistent doesn’t mean being a robot or machine. It arises out of our caring for our students and caring for their learning. As we combine an open resilient quality with a commitment to teach students content, behaviour, and procedures, we naturally become more consistent without losing our humanity or spontaneity.
Conscious classroom management, Rick Smith

COLLAPSING CONFLICT USING 30 SECOND INTERVENTIONS What is your job right now? What do you need to get started? What can I do to help you so that you
can… It looks like you have a problem. What
can I do to help you with this? Is what you are doing now helping or
hurting the lesson and learning for others?
Is this the kind of person/student you want to be?
What is our rule? Can you do that?
PROXIMITY
Proximity is the best method of ensuring that students are engaged and maximizing learning time.
Helps to keep them focused. You can go near inattentive students when
we are talking. Remember to move away from them when
they are contributing so that the whole group can hear.
You can pause in your proximity procedure long enough so that disruptive students don’t just pause---they stop.
⑧ Integrate Positive Classroom Rituals
⑨ Keep It Real
⑩ Partner with Parents and Guardians
