2. 2 NORMS

3. 3 LEVELS OF RESEARCH: How Much Evidence is There to Support a Theory? Level 1--"Basic" research. Are there correlations? Is there a rational explanation (theory) for these correlations? Level 2--Test of the theory in real classrooms. In small-scale comparative studies, does the theory accurately predict which practices will result in better learning? Level 3--Program Evaluation on a school- or district-wide basis. In large-scale comparative studies, does the theory predict ?

9. 9 Rules  govern student behavior  are few in number (3 - 6)  are stated generically  are taught on the first day of school  govern instructional activities or “housekeeping”  are many in number (30 - 60)  are situation specific  are presented as the need arises Procedures

10. 10 Management Procedures Using the restroom, drinking fountain, lockers, etc. Storing personal belongings Getting the teacher’s attention Moving within the classroom or to other school areas Recording attendance and tardies Managing transitions between activities

11. 11 Beginning of the day/period activity Distributing and collecting materials and assignments Posting assignments Makeup work Checking papers, providing feedback, and grading Instructional Procedures

12. 12 P P resent R R eview R R einforce R R e-teach To establish your system of rules and procedures:

13. 13 3 weeks 33 weeks

14. 14 3 weeks establishing classroom management results in 33 weeks of teaching and learning

15. 15 “A rule is not a rule without a consequence.”

16. 16 Effective managers develop a system for reinforcing their rules and procedures that includes: positive feedback, rewards, and recognition for good behavior; fair and reasonable sanctions for inappropriate behavior. CONSEQUENCES

17. 17 Hierarchy of Consequences Effective managers plan a range of consequences they can use when students misbehave. They consistently apply an appropriate consequence in relation to the seriousness of the offense.

18. 18 Hierarchy of Consequences Minor (instruction maintained) Serious (formal sanctions) Moderate (handled in classroom)

19. 19 First Day of School Greet students at the door. Learn students’ names as quickly as possible. Introduce students to one another. Teach necessary procedures and classroom rules. Introduce students to the classroom. Lead a simple, fun learning activity. Establish yourself as the leader of the class.
