A Teacher With Strong Classroom Management Skills

There are many misconceptions of what makes an effective classroom manager. Often, teachers believe that if you are able to “control” or “demand” good behavior; this represents effective classroom management. It was once said that a child doesn’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. When teachers build rapport with their students; students often present positive behavior. According to Jones, Bailey & Jacob, (2014, p.20) teachers who establish and maintain high-quality, trusting relationships with students can draw on their history of positive interactions in order to address classroom management challenges as they arise. One can refer this as making deposits and withdrawals. The relationship presents itself as a bank account; when you contiousily build rapport with students you have are making deposits of positive interactions. So, that when those problematic encounters, challenges or (withdrawals); take place there is a positive balance. Once this occurs there is evidence of effective communication and relationships between students and teachers.

Emotions are power. When it comes to feelings and emotions, there can often be disparity between how one feels and how something truly is. As the author of the article titled, “Invisible: Why Do People Feel Invisible?” Oliver Cooper writes, “One can feel that they are invisible to the world. And this is regardless of their physical impact on life, the experience for not being noticed exists.” Our self-image plays an essential role in what we achieve in life and how. There have been multiple investigations regarding the correlation between having high self-efficacy and being successful. Famous behavioral psychologist, Albert Bandura, was quoted, “Perceived self-efficacy is defined as people 's beliefs about their capabilities to produce

Teaching the students self-efficacy they will be capable of performing a task or managing a situation. Some student with high self-efficacy believes they can reach their goals, but some student’s may set unrealistic goals, and experience failure and frustration.

Bandura (1994) contends that a student’s belief in his or her ability to accomplish various tasks is highly influential on whether she or he actually accomplishes the task or succeeds in an individual area. He termed the belief in one’s abilities as personal self-efficacy. Personal self-efficacy is believed to be domain-specific and is developed throughout a person’s life in four ways: cognitive, modeling, social persuasion and mood (Bandura, 1994, 1997, 2003). Cognitive self-efficacy pertains to aspirations and is

According to Zimmerman Self Efficacy helps the students to motivate and take up new challenges in life by constant learning. Self-Efficacy is different from several motivational concepts such as outcome expectations, self-concept and locus of control. It helps students to participate in their own choice of activities. Student with self-efficacy are more emotionally stable and can face and better handle any difficult situation in their life as compared to the students without self-efficacy. Self-efficacy helps student in accomplishing goals and their desired targets by providing ways of superior performance. Zimmerman further added that student's self-belief about their academic capabilities play a vital role in motivating them to achieve the

Self-efficacy was previously defined by Bandura that we have the ability to execute a behavior or performance, depending on our belief. The American Psychology Association defines self-efficacy as it reflects of confidence when having control of their own motivation, behavior and social environment, in which you strive to achieve the given goal. But how does our own belief of self-efficacy reflect on our academic achievement? Being able to understand the factors that influence self-efficacy and how the level of one’s belief impact academics is important in order to understand the child’s academic achievement.

Self-efficacy is also described as a student’s belief about their own abilities. In Abe Flannigan’s (2017) PowerPoint he describes the self-efficacy theory as, “our ability to perform a task or action influences our motivation to do so.” Since the student is already not interested in the subjects and also not behaving during the lessons he is not doing well understanding the material. Since he doesn’t understand the material, he doesn’t believe he will be able to do it all. This also affects his motivation to try and learn the concepts. The student’s lack of self-efficacy in these subjects may also be affect by the student’s past experiences, modeling, or psychological factors. For example, if the student has never succeeded in math, it leads him to believe that he will never succeed. Or, if the student sees another who he looks up to, such as a sibling or another classmate, who also does not enjoy history, then that student will have low motivation to try in history as well. Lastly, in some circumstances, if math problems give the student anxiety it may affect how confident they feel in the subject. It would be helpful for the student, if teachers, parents, and older students gave him words of encouragement during these

Today’s classrooms are more dynamic than ever before. Educational needs of students are changing at breakneck speeds, along with the demands being placed on their teachers. There are associated legal and ethical implications that are evolving as rapidly as the technology that is driving a lot of the change. In order to have a chance to meet the needs of students and legal/ethical obligations, educators must have well developed classroom management techniques. These can get tricky quite often and require balancing the increasingly diverse needs of many different people. To be an effective

Alonso, López, Manrique, and Viñes (2005) concluded that a blended approach that combines self-paced learning, live e-learning, and face-to-face classroom learning is one of the most efficient teaching models. With integrating the web into the education system, centralized classroom-based education has shifted towards distributed e-learning classes in which learning is being facilitated anytime and anywhere. Williams (2002) defined that a blended approach is face to face and online learning combined. Vaughan (2007) suggested that a blended approach provides an opportunity to combine traditional teaching approaches and learning technologies, virtual and physical instruction, and face-to-face learning activities. A blended approach is also called a hybrid model that allows for a significant amount of learning activities to be online, reduces face to face learning time, and promotes self-directed learning for students (Garrison, Kanuka, &Hawes, 2002; Vaughan, 2007). A blended approach involves redesigning extensive courses to include some traditional aspects, and offer an amount of distance education.

Blended learning is malleable. It can easily be reformed and adjusted to suit many different learning styles and many different grade levels. For example, second graders may use reader software if they are struggling with dyslexia. Adults may use the same software if they are auditory learners to follow along when reading a long article on a computer screen. The hypothesis of this paper is that blended learning is a viable solution to stalling education methods because technology has the flexibility, real-world connection, and active engagement that supports successful learning.

The objective of this paper is to present my personal ideas on how to have effective classroom management. To run an effective classroom, the teacher should have a well developed classroom management plan that should be utilized at all times. A well thought out classroom management plan will not only be a major contributor to your own success as a teacher but it will also help promote your students ability to learn in the classroom. A classroom management plan should be a tool that is not always set in stone but something should be revised when necessary to get the most out

Many teachers have a vision of what the perfect classroom would be. All students would be well behaved. The students would all make good grades, and the teacher would be able to get through all the lessons planned for each day. Well the world isn’t perfect and this is not how the classroom will be, but with the right classroom management skills the classroom can be an enjoyable and productive place. First, teachers must know what classroom management is, and according to Weinstein classroom management “not only seeks to establish and sustain a caring, orderly environment in which students can engage in meaningful learning, it also aims to enhance students’ social and emotional growth” (Weinstein & Mignano , 2011, p.5). In my classroom I have so many ideas and goals that I want to accomplish but three of the most important goals I hope to accomplish through classroom management are behavior management, incorporating student interests into the classroom, and building social skills.

Classroom management is a highly individualised and organic system that is constantly changing. The issues surrounding classroom management and the factors that influence it play an important role in establishing positive foundations for teaching and learning, adaptive to the students and context at the time; underpinned by teachers individual style and endorsement of certain theorists beliefs.

Classroom management is a key element to establish a successful learning environment in any classroom. An effective classroom management plan creates a positive learning environment. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behavior. Students’ behavior is influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Teachers need a diverse array of classroom management skills to facilitate learning. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning. Students in effectively managed classrooms know and follow clearly defined rules and routines. A classroom management plan should provide

The importance of Self-Efficacy is making sure that you know your self’s worth. As we grow older and gain new abilities, experiences, and understanding, self-efficacy will play a big part in your life. It is difficult on both ends because people can either have troubles dealing with the challenging settings or beat themselves up because they refuse to do it or can not do it. Most will tend to just do the bare minimum because they do not believe they can make it far. Some will not even try because they tend to have a pessimistic personality. Having a strong self-efficacy is important because it gives you a higher chance to succeeding your tasks and potentially producing a reassuring outcome. Ultimately, everyone has a goal they want to achieve, things they want to change
