4. Define Classroom Management Classroom management consists of the practices and procedures a teacher uses to maintain the environment in which instruction and learning can take place. People expect procedures for everything they do in life: going to the movies, waiting in line to be served at a restaurant, using guidelines in the work place, etc. Teaching children the procedures they need to follow in class gives them life skills and makes teaching less stressful.

5. When procedures are in place, the teacher can focus on teaching. Students know automatically what needs to be done. They know when and how to do it because you have taught them until they get it right. Classroom management begins before the first day of school. -Wong & Wong

6. The Difference Between Classroom Management and Discipline Classroom management is NOT discipline; they are not synonymous terms.

7. DISCIPLINE Discipline is all about how students behave. Rules are used to control how students behave. Discipline plans have rules. CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Management deals with how students do their work. Procedures are used to ensure students are productive and successful. Classroom management plans have procedures

8. More than 80% of behavior problems in the classroom have nothing to do with discipline. They are related to classrooms that lack procedures and routines. -Wong & Wong

9. Ineffective vs Effective Teachers Ineffective teachers discipline their students to control their every action. Effective teachers teach their students how to be responsible for appropriate procedures.

10. The most effective teachers make everyone comfortable, yet have total control of the classroom. Teachers achieve this when they have planned for how the classroom should be managed for student learning and achievement. -Wong & Wong
