What is Classroom Management?

Classroom management is ways of organizing the resources, pupils and helpers so that teaching and learning can proceed in an efficient and safe manner.

The biggest deterrent to classroom management issues is proactive, effective

with discipline.

It can be defined as the teacher’s ability to cooperatively manage time, space, resources and student roles and student behaviours to provide a climate that encourages  earning

Summary

Principles of Classroom Management

Make a good first impression. Come in with enthusiasm and show

you are excited to be there.

Classroom Management Principles

Classroom Management Principles

Minimize the power differential in everyday communication. Sitting behind a desk or standing behind a

podium can send the message that you want to create some distance between yourself and the students.

Get down to their level when working with them.

Classroom Management Principles

Address problem behavior directly and immediately. Addressing a

problem early lessens the chance that it will expand.

Classroom Management Principles

Know the power of proximity You can accomplish more through your body

language than through your voice. Put your body next to problems. Put your body in-between students who are

disruptive. Know how to work one-on-one with students while

not turning your back on the rest of the class.

Classroom Management Principles

Think Prevention Consider how you can manage the learning

process to prevent undesirable behaviors (i.e. classroom set-up, opportunities for students to interact, active involvement, clear communication of expectations, structuring for success).

Model behaviors you expect from the students: mutual respect, active listening, interest in learning, subject enthusiasm, open mindedness, positive attitude.

VS

Students misbehave for several reasons:

They are bored. They don’t know the purpose of your

presentation. They don’t understand how the information

that you are delivering applies to them. Instruction is uninteresting The pace of the instruction is incorrect (too

fast, or too slow). Not enough interaction between and among

peers.

Why do students cause discipline problems?

"Listen" To The Students’ Misbehavior.

Student misbehavior isn't just an annoying disruption --- it's a secret message the student is (unwittingly) trying to convey to you.
