The Importance Of Classroom Management

The first misconception of classroom management is that it is “synonymous with discipline” (Garrett 45). Garrett dispels the belief of discipline being the primary focus of classroom management. Referencing the work of education professors and researchers, Carol Weinstein and Carolyn Evertson, she explains that the organization of classrooms should help “avoid most behavior problems” (Garrett 46). The second misconception Garrett addresses is that a “quiet classroom” should be the result of classroom management. She points out that learning is an active process requiring the noise generated by “talking, sharing, discovering, experimenting, and questioning” (Garrett 46). The third classroom management misconception is the belief held by teachers that effective management entails of rewards and punishments. Garrett notes that effective classroom management often needs little use of behavioral incentives such as “sticker charts, marble jars, token economies, classroom stores, prize bins” (Garrett 46).

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

My classroom philosophy begins with what type of teacher I will be in my classroom. To have successful classroom management, one must be an effective teacher. Some qualities that make an effective teacher include maintaining high expectations, being consistent, and caring. As a teacher, it is important to have high expectations for your students academically, but also behaviorally. In my classroom, I will uphold the traits and characteristics that I want to see in my students, through my own actions and words. Another quality that I will instill in my classroom and myself is consistency. In my classroom, I will be consistent in my classroom management. I will not favor a student and let them get away with something, and I will not be overly harsh on a student who is having a bad day or week. One of the most important qualities in an effective teacher is their ability to care for their students. In order to have successful classroom management, I must build relationships with my students. The more that my students know that I care for them and want to help them,

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.

As a teacher, I believe one of the most critical components for facilitating student’s learning journey throughout their schooling years is to have a strong knowledge and understanding of classroom management theories and strategies. I will be describing my awareness and understanding of what my philosophy is at this current point in time. I want to recognise that an effective teacher will develop this view over time and it will be ever changing depending on the situation that arise. To be an effective teacher requires patients, a nurturing nature, understanding, consistency and also to have fun while learning. My personal classroom management philosophy involves creating a positive co-operative learning

I believe classroom management encompasses every aspect of the classroom and entire learning community. In this community, the central role does not belong to me. That role belongs to every child that walks through the school doors. As soon as a student enters the school, everything revolves around them. This is what I like to call student-centric, a name I derived from Aristotle and Ptolemy’s geocentric model of the universe in addition to Copernicus’ heliocentric model. Each of the root words describe what everything revolves around in each model of the universe, so in the learning universe, everything revolves around the student. With that in mind, there are certain things I would like to discuss in relation to my future students and classroom.

Classroom management must be put in practice for any education setting to achieve its goal. Classroom management is the process that schools and teachers create and maintain the appropriate behavior of students in a classroom setup. The main aim of implementing the management strategies is to improve students’ academic engagement (Emmer & Sabornie, 2015).

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

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

A classroom management plan is the key to get productive results and keep all the students involved focused and on the right track for the year. More importantly, a classroom management plan is the agenda set to determine what everyone 's responsibility is and how, when and where to do it. A teacher needs to show that she is in full control and feel confident about the content she will be teaching to keep all students engaged.

Setting up an effective classroom environment is essential in order to be a successful teacher. Good classroom management requires careful planning of the classroom organization, rules, procedures, and instruction. Without these, classrooms would not run smoothly and efficiently. It is not enough to assume that students will behave appropriately throughout the year just because the teacher has taught the students what is expected of them. Good teachers encourage good behavior by constantly implementing classroom rules, procedures, and consequences.

There are many factors that affects a student 's ability to learn and achieve. Classroom management plays a major role in the effectiveness of education and paves the way for the teacher to engage students in learning. Classroom management creates a set of expectations, routines, rules, and consequences. Through my experience at Olson Elementary, I have had the privilege of observing Ms. Mason, her students, and how she addresses classroom management. Every teacher has their own approach on classroom management, but essentially instills and models and principles of instills the goals and structure that meet the needs of their students.

Classroom management will always be the main part of being an effective teacher and making sure your students are learning the best they can. When the students know what they are expected to do and what they are not supposed to do, it makes the teachers and the

Classroom management is not something educators employ when a problem occurs. It should be proactive rather than reactive. As a teacher, classroom management is vital for successful day-to-day operations in the classroom; it is important that teachers think critically about the techniques and strategies they employ. Therefore, as a pre-service educator, it is imperative to delve into theorists whose work has had an impact on classroom management. Through the examination of the research, there were four theorists whose work and styles work well to manage the classroom: C. M. Charles, Rudolf Dreikurs, Marvin Marshall, and Harry and Rosemary Wong. The implementation of aspects of each of these four theorists will help create the classroom community and atmosphere teachers strive for; one where the students are in charge of their own learning and the educator is more of a facilitator of their growth. Using the Democratic Classroom approach will be important in fostering student involvement and responsibility. It will also help spur intrinsic motivation because the students will have ownership of the classroom and choice in the types of work that they do. However, the piece that helps to tie it all together is the Wongs; their work on the first days of school exemplifies the need to explicitly teach the rules and procedures (Charles, 2014). Therefore, using aspects of the Wong’s first day of school suggestions, Dreikurs’ democratic classroom, Marshall’s intrinsic motivation, and
