Classroom Management And The Classroom

The most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher. If the teacher is ineffective, students will achieve inadequate progress academically. Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are disorderly and disrespectful, with no apparent rules and procedures to guide behavior, chaos becomes the norm. Teachers struggle to teach, and students will learn much less than they should. http://behaviourmanagementreport.weebly.com/

Throughout my time on professional placement not only was I given opportunities to teach, I was also given opportunities to observe my mentor teacher and other teachers. Through these observations I gained an understanding of multiple aspects of teaching and classroom management that I would often miss or be unaware of during my own teaching. When analysing my observations, there were a number of themes that stood out. However, it was the students that interested me the most. The school is largely multicultural with over 35% of the school population was born outside Australia in 52 different countries. When observing both theory and practical classes, I noticed a wide range of abilities in physical terms including skill and fitness, as well as cognitive abilities. On a number of occasions, I witnessed students lack of engagement with a task or activity, which would then in turn affect students’ motivation and ability to stay on track with the task leading to off task behavior. Sallis and McKenzie (1991) argued that positive experiences in PE could influence children to adopt physically active adult lifestyles which can improve public health. It is, therefore, important to understand the motivational, cognitive, and affective processes that can determine whether children will regard PE as a valuable, enjoyable, and rewarding experience, or as a worthless, boring, and humiliating one. The following essay will reflect and analyse on the themes of, ‘motivation’ influenced by a

I believe classroom management is extremely significant for teachers and effective teachers know how to manage the classroom while helping students to behave appropriately. In order to be an effective ESL teacher, I will use demonstrating expectations, creating a safe learning environment, building a positive relationship, redirecting inappropriate behavior, and motivating in managing my future classroom.

Classroom management is a popular topic in education. Teachers are always looking for ways to improve their classroom environment, or new ways to deal with problem behaviors. For every person who has ever worked with children, there is an idea, a theory, as to how to best meet children’s needs. Early theorists provide the basis for many current behavior management ideas, and often include a combination of ideas. Theorists such as Abraham Maslow, Rudolf Dreikurs, William Glasser, and Stanley Coppersmith offer insight into the behavior and motivations of children that help teachers design strategies to prevent disruption and provide a positive learning environment for all students.

Classroom management is one of the most important roles played by teachers because it determines teaching success. Effective teachers appear to be effective with students of all achievement levels regardless of the levels of heterogeneity in their classes. Effective classroom managers are those who understand and use specific techniques. Even if the school they work in is highly ineffective, individual teachers can produce powerful gains in student learning. Many techniques include classroom design, rules, discipline, scheduling, organization and communication.

I believe that if students are in a safe environment, they will be more engage in learning and an active contributor in the classroom. This will prevent behavior problems with interesting and engaging lessons and effectively include all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. I also believe in order to have a positive classroom setting for students, their need to be classroom rules, classroom procedures, and organization skills and to encourage all students to learn. This idea is also related to Danielson’s framework, because She also expresses the same idea of students having a safe environment to learn. Danielson stated that, “ A classroom environment is to ensure that students find the classroom a safe

By reflecting on my prior discussion questions and assignments, I have solidified the importance of establishing an all encompass classroom management plan in order to execute an effective learning environment. By refining my classroom management plan by incorporating strategies which enhance student engagement while decreasing disruptions within the classroom. For example by clearly stating expectations both to students and their parents, all parties are aware of the standards by which the classroom will function and the means by which failure to meet such standards will be dealt with and communicated. Or by responding to misbehavior by instilling habitude and kaizen characteristic in order to engage students to stay on task and develop skills to cooperate in group’s activities so they might achieve their goals for the 21st century learning

Skinner believed that the goal of psychology should be practical (Lieberman, 2000). As it relates to education, Skinner believed the goal of psychology should be to find ways to make education enjoyable and effective for all students. His learning theory relied on the assumption that the best way to modify behavior was to modify the environment. Skinner was a

One of the biggest keys to being a successful teacher is classroom management. Of course, there are different needs depending on if you teach kindergartners or high school auto shop students, and every teacher has his or her own individual style. A constant through out all classrooms is this, without good classroom management, a teacher loses control. Once you lose control of the classroom the amount of actual teaching and learning diminishes to almost nothing.

Teachers often wonder how to execute the ideal lesson, what structure should they adopt and how to ensure that all their students cooperate. What we need to recognise is what classroom management is and how much does student behavior factor? Why is it significant? What strategies does my mentor use to establish classroom management within the class? If we know the behaviour of our students, what do we need to do to ensure that effective classroom management is successfully acquired? All these questions need to be answered as they all link towards a successful lesson and student cooperation.

Monitoring your students work with numbers or even color code them. Check your students work every day to keep the motivation going. When grading, make sure students understand the criteria and how you grade. Sitting down with them and talking with them will give no surprises to your students. Within the conference, talk to the students, make sure students have their own grade book so they can monitor as well, and give them advice to know what to do better and how they can achieve (Ridnouer, 101-102).

In education there are plenty of learning theories and research studies designed to create a

Both teacher and student success can often be traced back to the ability of the teacher to effectively manage the classroom. Research shows that effective classroom management and organization during the first few weeks of class are crucial in determining expectations, behavior patterns, and procedures that will set the tone for the rest of the year. Effective classroom management is essential in maintaining an organized, and civil classroom. You want students’ to develop an understanding of mutual respect by making expectations clear, and providing written ideas of how the classroom should be managed. The keys to effective classroom management are; organization of procedures and resources, a well arranged classroom environment,

Classroom management is integral to the environment in which students learn. Classroom management serves to regulate the behaviors, practices and focus of students to elicit participation. When enacted in a culturally responsive way, classroom management extends to consider how a student’s culture influences their motivations and behaviors. Calloway indicates, “a positive relationship was found to exist between classroom management and cultural teaching” (Calloway, n.d, p. 5). Responsive teaching permits the individuality of the student in conjunction with an equitable structure and scope of learning opportunities. Culture determines the context students need for inquiry, establishing relevance, and subject content mastery. Teachers have

This training was conducted in a blended mode, that is, it involved an online self-paced learning followed by an interactive online discussion and ended with a face-to-face action learning. That is, the training blended the online mode (Stage 1: online self-paced and Stage 2: online discussion) with the offline mode (Stage 3: face-to-face action learning). The modules in LeP were as follows:
