Classroom Management Techniques For Students

In order to be proficient in the art of teaching a teacher is required to do much more than walk into a classroom, walk up to the board, and begin to teach. Presenting a lesson is only one step when it comes to having a productive classroom. The state in which the children are in has a direct effect on the productivity of the classroom. The productivity has a direct relation to the classroom management set in place by the teacher. Throughout history there have been many theories regarding how to exhibit successful classroom management. One theorist in particular is Harry Wong. This paper is going to cover the thoughts and theories of Harry Wong on classroom management.

I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career.  Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself.  Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher.  It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be evolving as necessary as I gain more experience and insight into the field of teaching.  Also, my classroom management plan may need to be altered to fit my specific group of students.

Classroom management can be a difficult situation to stand by. Over the years, teachers and philosophers have argues which way is the right way to manage a classroom. There is not completely right way to run a classroom. What it all comes down to is who the teacher is and who the class is. There are some classes where the children have more say in what is being taught and how and there are other classes where the teacher is the one in charge of the day. In the end, classroom management can be the most beneficial to the students when they take responsibility and when time is used wisely.

For students to thrive in the classroom, I must ensure that they have a positive space they can come to and feel comfortable. If students don’t feel safe in their classroom then learning will not happen. I must build a caring and supportive space for children so they can succeed and feel loved. This will help develop a sense of belonging to a school. I have to remember that it is not my classroom, it is the students! It is imperative that the students, parents, and coworkers in my school feel they can come to me for anything, especially as one of their

A classroom is a very dynamic and spontaneous place. Every classroom is comprised of a diverse combination of individuals who all contribute to the unpredictable nature and uniqueness of the class. The reality that no two students are alike and no two classes are ever alike, contributes greatly to the difficulty of establishing a realistic and effective classroom management plan. It is important that teachers realize that a classroom is an unpredictable place and that it is much more reasonable to strive to manage their classroom as opposed to trying to control it. I see my role as a managing teacher as

Shelly Fryer is a teacher who is innovative, caring, and concerned about her student's futures. Mrs. Fryer is teaching in an area that has a large homeless population. This means that she will often have students enter her classroom throughout the year, and many students who will leave throughout it as well. When Mrs. Fryer began to notice the types of students she had in her classroom she realized that she needed to make sure to cater to those student's needs. In Mrs. Fryer's blog post Preparing for Transitions she provides many useful and thoughtful ideas about how to ease students transitions. Mrs. Fryer's first suggestion for easing transition is to provide each student a buddy in the classroom. This buddy will be with the new student and help them through the everyday classroom activities.

The skills highlighted by McInerney for teachers to be effective are knowledge, questioning, explaining and demonstrating, monitoring and evaluating student learning, and most importantly communicating with the students, parents, carers and colleagues. Classroom management are things that a teacher does to establish an effective learning environment. An effective teacher would keep a record of how students behave in the class. McInerney states that good teaching minimises misbehaviour and is essential in a student-centred classroom. As teachers provide opportunities for students to develop their problem-solving strategies students figure out that they have a sense of self-direction which relates to their behaviour, motivation and learning. According to O’Donnell et al., classroom management and learning engagement is affected well before a student first enters the classroom. O’Donnell et al., points out that the fundamental task of classroom management is to establish an inclusive, supportive, caring, engaging and challenging community that students often engage in desirable, respectable and constructive behaviour. As observed in the classroom, various skills were used by Miss Amber to create a sense of community and belonging which encouraged students to be more open to

Within the classroom, it’s very important to have classroom management. To successfully run a class doesn’t automatically mean that the children have to sit quietly and not talk or interact with each other. It’s actually the total opposite. To maintain proper classroom management means to have a relaxed and caring environment where the students are getting their work down and interaction is taking place. My classroom management philosophy deals with this thinking and combines three different theorist who uses three different theories. My philosophy is to have a democratic, caring environment where my students have a voice, hold themselves and others accountable for their actions, make responsible choices, and build a sense of community and family. In my current field experience at Ocean Bay Middle School, my cooperating teaching uses a classroom management plan that is similar to my philosophy and the results are positive. My overall goal is to teach, enrich the lives of my students, and produce our future successors of tomorrow.

Creating intentional attachment in a classroom is easier for smaller classrooms than for bigger classrooms. Isolation is very dangerous is schools. When some children don’t

Motivation is an inner condition that triggers, controls, and sustains behavior. Creating a classroom community and introducing strategic strategies can be used to solve Mr. Eksy’s problem. Building a positive classroom community motivates students to learn, helps them to bond with school expectations, and increase student school engagement. It helps emphasize problem solving, encourages students to learn from each other, and assist students in becoming self-regulated learners. It also creates a caring classroom environment with clear rules and consequences within the classroom. Positive classroom environments help students feel connected and accepted. It also creates a close, respectful relationship between the teacher, students, and sometimes the parents. A classroom community is made up of teachers, parents, and students who are connected to form the group. If this type of relationship can be formed it will result in a classroom community that builds positive interpersonal relationships, boost motivation, build positive interdependence, raise their academic self-concepts, and increased productiveness amid the members. There is a correlation between social and emotional development. They work together to build self-concept, which is how a person views their ability to succeed based on the responses of others. Higher self-concept

Teachers are not only expected to teach their students, but also provide an environment where everyone feels safe and can learn. Classroom management is a very important part of teaching. Students cannot learn in an unsafe, disruptive environment. This paper will discuss the strategy of SHAPING, how it is used to modify a student’s behavior, and give an example of how to modify a student’s behavior. This paper will also discuss my personal beliefs about classroom management, share rules and expectations for the classroom, rewards for individuals and the class, designing the classroom where the teacher is visible and there are no distractions, and discuss some classroom procedures and how they contribute to classroom management

When I think of classroom management I often picture a classroom in which students learning is being carried out with minimum interruption. Teacher is there as a facilitator of the learning process through authentic learning activities which allow students to share and exchange information through respective and cooperative manner. A description of a good classroom management for some teachers or administrators or even parents may be focused or aimed at the physical order of how the classrooms should look like in terms of students sitting at their seats or teacher pointing at a student to answer her question one by one. I depict the picture

Vallerand suggested that the need for relatedness involves feeling connected (or feeling that one belongs in a social milieu)(p.30). Goodenow proposed that a sense of belonging at school reflects the extent to which

I will make my class welcoming by decorating the walls. I will have one bulletin board with standards and related curriculum. I will have another bulletin board with student examples. I will decorate my door according to seasons. The class schedule, rules, word wall, and posters will be hung on the wall. According to Wong and Wong (2009), “Readiness is the primary determinant of teacher effectiveness” (p. 92). I will try to greet my students every morning to help my classroom feel more inviting and tell them goodbye daily. I will write important events or

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
