Data Analysis and Results: In this section explain the steps you took to score and analyze the data you collected with each of the data collection tools. Report this in a factual form and do not tell it like a story. Once you explained how you analyzed your data, present your actual results. If you had quantitative data, your results should include data sets, percentages, a mean, change from one data collection point to another, a table and graph, if possible. Do not let your tables and graphs “speak for themselves”; rather, explain the results that you think that the tables and graphs show.
Analyze qualitative data by: o Transitions: All 3 correlated with transitions helping with time and flow. o Classroom management: All 3 correlated o Use of formative assessment was found to help student’s engagement throughout. o Classroom management was a common theme among my data as well that showed being better able to pace lessons.

Both my Critical friend and journaling collection tools agreed that classroom management has a big impact on how lessons and activity pacing will go. My own journaling indicated a numerous amount of times that my teachers classroom management helped with her lesson pacing. I journaled that she used Dojo point system to give and take away points to students. This helped with behavioral issues in the classroom and gave students a way to stay focused to earn points as a result. My critical friend stated that I used effective transitions
Classroom management promotes students greatest ability to learn. A teacher who exhibits positive classroom management makes the biggest difference in the
Student discipline is one of the most important aspects of the classroom. I believe that structure and classroom management are two components that contribute to this greatly. Teachers in the beginning of the year must implement rules and routines that all Students are expected to follow. It would also be beneficial if the students took part in creating these rules. Within the first weeks of school, the teacher and students should be practicing these procedures so that students can get comfortable with the routine and know what is expected of them. If the students are aware of the rules of the classroom then there will be no surprises when the consequence is given for breaking them.
1. The room was arranged with long tables, and small dividers between each computer terminal, to encourage students to concentrate.
Good classroom and behaviour management is essential for a lesson to run smoothly. Knowing how to anticipate and manage problems will ensure that students spend maximum time on task, and those students who are eager to learn are
Managing your classroom determines how effective you are as a teacher. In this training, it talks about many different ways you can create structure in the classroom.

The author uses his teaching Bible experience to explain how it works. Three steps are presented to teach students good judgment.
During teacher training sessions and from reading and researching the subject it is clear that it is not easy to manage a classroom full of students. In fact, many factors need to be taken into account when planning strategies to be used. By being pro-active, looking, and analyzing our own practice, it should give us a better
Kahlei is an eleven-year-old African American female who attended the intake assessment with her brother and mother. Kahlei was referred to Children’s Advocacy Network, LLC by Dr. Brens due to presenting concerns with disruptive behavior in school. Kahlei is currently being prescribed Adderall for treatment of ADHD symptoms; however, no history of previous engagement in therapeutic services has been reported. Mother reported that Kahlei presents difficulty with being attentive and following classroom directions. Kahlei reported, “being called out” by teachers due to “talking during class”. Mother explained that client demonstrated changes in behavior since the starting of “6th grade”. Mother continued to report that client has difficulty managing
The fundamental goal of an educator is to effectively teach their students. Therefore, the effectiveness of an educator’s classroom management is directly correlated to the student’s educational success. Moreover, an effective classroom management strategy contributes to an attentive and orderly classroom, providing the students with self-motivation, essential in early childhood development. “Self-motivation is a continuing process and the only way we become better and stronger is to create a few mistakes a long the way and also face a few setbacks”
Creating my future classroom for first graders I chose rules that were similar to the SMART classroom management. The rules that I will put in place will target only behavior issues, separating my expectations in the classroom separately. This will allow less confusion for young students, as well as keeping it clear and simple for students to understand the rules themselves. Rules for my class room will be listen and follow carefully the instructions of the day, raise your hand before you speak or leave your seat, shows respect to others, keep hand, feet, and objects to oneself. I want to motivate students to make good choices, for each consequence students break the will have to think about their bad choice they made and how they can do things differently to improve their behavior. Behavior continue I would have to talk to student privately advising them that bad choices are being made and if they continue this route the next level would be contacting parents for bad choices made during class time. Either by sending a note for parent to sign or by phone.
For the last 19 years I have taught in many different grade levels, different curriculum and many different types of students. The one thing that was always the same was the importance of having good classroom management with every class that I have taught.
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.
The article I chose was “3 Things New Teachers Need to Know about Classroom Management” written by Ryan McCarty. The article is about three different points that McCarty thinks that all first year teachers should know. He wrote this article because he struggled with classroom management. The first tip McCarty writes, “Teach time-saving routines and procedures” (2014, para. 3). When teaching producers and routines at the beginning of the year never assume that the students know how to do basic producers. At the beginning of the year go over routines and produces, but then make the students practice them over and over again. The second tip that McCarty gives, “Balance Rules with Relationships” (2014, para. 5). McCarty wants new first year teachers
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
As a future educator, it is extremely important to prepare for what is in store for each year. Every single class is different, and will bring something different to the table based on the different students in each class. It is extremely important to have a classroom management plan for a group of diverse learners for several reasons. From reading Wong’s book First Days of School, How to be an effective teacher, he states that after doing research in a study reviewing 11,000 pieces of research that spanned 50 years, three researchers determined that there are 28 factors that influence student learning, and the number one factor is classroom management. This is very clear that research backs up how important classroom management is. It is what allows teachers to be effective teachers for their students and are able to keep the students on track. Classroom management also offers organization in the classroom. It refers to all of the things a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that learning can take place (Wong 1998). Without classroom management the entire class would be out of control and very little to no learning would take place.
