4 Classroom Management is all the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so that learning can take place. It includes fostering student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities and establishing a productive working environment.

5 Students are deeply involved with their work, especially with academic, teacher-led instruction. Students know what is expected of them and are generally successful. There is relatively little WASTED time, confusion, or disruption. The climate of the classroom is work-oriented, but RELAXED and PLEASANT.

6 o No clearly defined rules o Only communicates rules as needed to stifle a situation. o Conveys rules in a gruff, angry, and condescending manner. o Winces, shrugs, or conveys via facial expression or body language disbelief o Conveys “I’m only doing this because the administration wants me to do it.” o Tells students, “If you DON’T want to learn, that’s NOT my problem!” o Berates students with meaningless phrases to convey expectations “Don’t you know any better?” or “How many times do I have to tell you?”

7  Has a discipline plan that does NOT degrade students.  Makes good eye contact  Provides a copy of the plan for each student.  Enforces the rules CONSISTENTLY!  Has learned how to discipline with the body, not with the mouth.  Teaches students the concept of consequences and responsibility.  Has self-confidence and faith in her or her capabilities.

8 1.Clarifying the responsibilities of teachers AND students. 2.Teaching the procedures students are expected to follow in class

9 The main problem in teaching is not poor discipline, but poor classroom management. Responsibilities clarify what everyone is supposed to do. What you do on the first day of school determines your success for the rest of the year. You can not give students self-esteem, but you can makes sure they find success in school. School should be challenging, exciting, engrossing, and thought provoking, but it MUST have structure to ensure student success.

10 1.Teaching is a craft—a highly skilled craft that can be learned. 2.The most important factor in school learning is the ability of the teacher. The more capable the teacher, the more successful the student. 3.Good teachers enhance the life and spirit of students they teach. 4.Learning is most effective when it takes place in a supportive community of learners. 5.The more that students work together responsibly, the more they learn.

11 6. Students usually learn more from an activity-question approach than from a textbook –lecture approach. 7. You can have your achievements or you can have your EXCUSES! 8. Teachers go through four (4) stages of development—fantasy, survival, mastery, and impact. Good management moves you quickly from fantasy to mastery. 9. Those who teach well will never cease to learn!

12 In order to provide a safe and effective learning environment, you MUST establish and ENFORCE appropriate rules. a)Explain your discipline plan (rules and consequences) to students on the first day of school. b)Classroom rules should indicate the BEHAVIOR you EXPECT from students. c)Rules sets limits—they create a work-oriented atmosphere in the classroom. d)Behavior associated with rules must be TAUGHT through discussion, demonstration, and PRACTICE!

13 What Do I Do NOW?  Have your classroom ready and make it inviting!  Stand at the door and greet students as they enter.  Assigned seats is a MUST! Have a seating chart already completed.  Keep your position close to the students.  Have a bell ringer posted on the board.  Display your diploma and credentials with pride!  Dress in a professional manner that models success and shows you expect achievement.

14 You survived the FIRST DAY, now what? The two (2) most important things you must teach the first week are DISCIPLINE and PROCEDURES. Explain your discipline plan to the students Put it into effect IMMEDIATELY! State your procedures and begin rehearsing them until they become automatic. Practice, Practice, Practice….REPEAT!

15 RulesProcedures Max 5Concern how things are done Stated in a POSITIVE mannerHave no penalties or rewards Introduce on first dayExplains what the teacher wants done Post in a prominent placeRoutine Consequences for infractionsStudents will do these automatically

16 1.Explain: State, explain, model, and demonstrate the procedure. 2.Rehearse: Rehearse and practice the procedure under the teacher’s supervision. 3.Reinforce: Reteach, rehearse, practice until it becomes a student habit or routine.

17 Entering the classroom Quieting the students Students seeking help Movement of students Turning in assignments Lining up for lunch Lunch room behavior Recess Homework Dismissal

18 Have an assignment posted before the students enter Have the assignment posted in the same consistent location everyday. This lets the students know that they are to get to work immediately upon entering the classroom. Have a grading system for the bell ringer assignment. The students must know they will be held responsible for the daily assignments.

19  Organize classroom where students can learn in a task-oriented environment.  Start the class by giving an assignment (bell ringer), not by taking the roll. There is no need to involve the class in the roll- taking process.  Post assignments in the same place everyday.  Make sure that your grade book shows the results and progress of each student at all times.  Remember that a smooth-running class depends on your ability to teach PROCEDURES!!

20  Present your rules clearly, and provide reasonable explanations of the need for them.  Write the rules down, and permanently post them in the classroom. Also give them to students on paper or have the students copy them into their notebook.  Keep in mind that rules are MOST EFFECTIVE when there are CONSEQUENCES to face if students break them and rewards if students follow them.  When you see a violation of one of the rules, immediately and quietly give our the penalty as you continue with the lesson or classwork.

21 “In an effective classroom students should not only know what they are doing, they should also know why and how.” “The single greatest effect on student achievement is not race, it is not poverty — it is the effectiveness of the teacher.” “It is the teacher — what the teacher knows and can do — that is the most significant factor in student achievement.” “Too many teachers do not teach. They do activities, And when problems arise, they discipline. Many classrooms are unmanaged.”
