Techniques for Classroom Managenent
Â
1. Be prepared for your teaching day
Even
if you arenât required to submit lesson plans, it doesnât mean you shouldnât do
them. Thereâs a lot to manage throughout the day, and not knowing what you are
supposed to be teaching can easily destroy a good day. Develop plans that work
for your teaching style, accommodate all learners, go along with curriculum
standards, and pique the curiosity of your students. It may sound daunting, but
the more you do it, the better youâll get. A well-planned day can make the
difference between tired and flat-out exhausted.
Â
2. Avoid Punishing the Whole Class
Punishing
the whole class can harm classroom management in the long run because it hurts
the students who are behaving correctly. Instead of punishing the whole class,
it can help to gently call out students who are misbehaving by engaging them
back into the class topic. This can be a question such as, âDo you have a
question?â or âDo you need help?â instead of disparaging the student for
misbehaving.
Â
3. Maintain authority in the classroom
throughout the year
You
meant it when you started the year, but itâs easy to relax a bit as the year
moves along. When you tell kids to stop talking and get back to work, but you
donât follow through, you are effectively telling them it doesnât matter that
much. This can lead to teachers raising their voices and saying things they
regret. You donât have to be mean; you just have to mean it. So make a list of
rules that are effective and really matter to you and then share them with your
students. Post them visibly and refer to them often.
Â
4. Make positive phone calls to studentsâ
families
Another
important classroom management technique is the positive phone call home. Many
teachers fall into the trap of only calling home when there is an issue to
report. While these calls are necessary and worthwhile, calls for celebration
are equally, if not more, important. Every parent wants to hear positive news
about their child, and this reinforcement almost always makes its way back to
the student. Try to make one positive call to a different studentâs home every
single day, even if itâs simply to report on a nice comment a kid made in
class. This means so much to parents and students and usually translates to
positive classroom behavior as well.
Â
5. Make sure that students understand the
why and how behind your rules
Just
because youâve stated, shared, and posted your classroom rules, doesnât mean
students know what they mean. Your version of no talking might be different
from theirs. Human beings talk for lots of reasons, so keep appropriate
expectations. It might even be okay to joke around a bit as long as a student
is staying focused on the task at hand. Some teachers find great success with
acting out ways of talking that are effective.
Â
6. Keep A Friendly Disposition
This
brings us to the next tip: keeping a friendly disposition in the classroom.
This is a mixture of modelling behavior, offering positive comments instead of
negative ones, and generally approaching students with a smile and a kind word.
Â
7. See yourself as your studentsâ mentor,
not their friend
We all
want to be there for our students, support them through challenges, and make a
real difference in their lives. But if you think that being their friend is the
way to get there, youâre going to create more problems than you solve. Instead,
view yourself as your studentsâ mentor. This means youâre there to help,
support, and guide them, but thereâs clear respect, not a peer-to-peer
relationship.
Â
8. Focus on being respected rather than
being likedÂ
We all
want our students to like us, but if we make that our goal, weâre  going
to run into some serious classroom management problems. Instead, focus on
earning your studentsâ respect and creating a learning environment where they
can learn and grow.
Â
Classroom Management
Â
Classroom management is the process by which
teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in
classroom settings. The purpose of implementing classroom management strategies
is to enhance prosocial behavior and increase student academic engagement.
Â
Effective classroom management principles work
across almost all subject areas and grade levels. When using a tiered model in
which school-wide support is provided at the universal level, classroom
behavior management programs have shown to be effective for 80-85 percent of
all students. More intensive programs may be needed for some students.
Â
Student
behaviors like shouting, not paying attention, avoiding work, disrespect,
refusal, and engaging in power struggles take your focus away from teaching and
studentsâ focus away from learning. The following classroom management
strategies can be used to help maintain student focus and create student
consistency around class expectations.
Â
Understand your students
Get to
know each student as an individual. Build rapport with them based on trust and
understanding. Be sure to let your compassion for each student reflect through
your nonverbal behavior and your paraverbal communication.
Focus On Building Relationships
Building
healthy student-teacher relationships is essential to establishing a positive,
safe classroom environment. Teachers should focus on getting to know
their students on a personal level, taking time to learn about each studentâs
interests, strengths, and needs. Investing in students as individualsâ
builds trust and positive relationships between the teacher and students,
which is absolutely critical to successful classroom management.
Â
Set Clear Expectations
Setting
clear expectations ensures students understand why the rules are important in a
classroom community. In the beginning, teachers should take time to
create a list of norms or agreements. The class discusses what the
classroom should look, feel, and sound like. When students help create
the rules and agreements, they have buy-in and are invested in the classroom
community they help create.
