The Importance Of Classroom Management For Elementary Teachers

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.

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/

The author uses his teaching Bible experience to explain how it works. Three steps are presented to teach students good judgment.

The topic explored by this study is classroom management for early childhood education. In general, the literature seems to indicate that effectiveness of classroom management. The information presents skills necessary for teachers to use to become successful in the classroom. Some research calls for a series of steps for one to take teachers to become successful in the classroom. Each task varies from teacher to teacher, but overall to have complete success with classroom management one must practice, practice, and practice to become consistent with the skills and to prepare to be successful. The existing literature shows that classroom management is a complicated concept that has transformed over time. Various factors must be controlled to enhance the effectiveness of classroom management. The role of classroom management should never be underestimated as it determines the nature of citizenry a country anticipates to have. Apart from examining the models for classroom management, the article explores factors affecting classroom management and proposes some reliable classroom management strategies in early childhood education.

In my initial thought for this question I had the right idea that Ms. Begay should use assessment. Ms. Begay should first administer testing to see where the student’s weaknesses are. She should then develop curriculum based measurement to regularly check the students’ progress. She can also then use progress monitoring to help find students who may be falling behind, set goals for instruction, and make sure her instruction is effective. In order to effectively use progress monitoring she would have to use the six steps: Create and select tests, give and grade the tests, graph the results, set goals for the student, evaluate her instruction, and then communicate to those involved in the child’s education like parents or those part of

As result of this field experience, I realized that it is really important to engage students in monitoring strategies that require them to do something to illustrate their understanding as well as include varied monitoring techniques that support the different students’ learning styles and culture. I could appreciate that when students receive the instruction needed they are able to apply what they learned in new situations, use their imagination, organize their thoughts and make the best desicions. They can display responsabiity, self- steem and sociability. They can also apreciate their own culture and the culture of others. On the other hand, I could appreciate that it is the teacher’s responsibility make sure that all students are being assessed fairly and provide equal opportunities for them to succeed. I am quite aware that preparing and

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.

I keep things focused, on target and specific. I engage students mainly by my demeanor. I share my passion, experience and have incredibly high expectations for them. Together, the students and I develop an understanding that it’s ok to struggle with reading/writing because both are very hard. But, just because reading/writing is hard… that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. Students respond very well to this type of honesty - I find they almost seem relieved they don’t have to pretend anymore. Students understand that I assess learning often, they understand that assessing is not about them, but about me. The results of the assessments tell me when to stay the course and when I need to make adjustments to my

I observed North Middle School for my second set of observations. Through observing middle school, I saw various techniques of classroom management, some of which I had never thought of when thinking about teaching. I witnessed some techniques that were incredible and very effective, while also witnessing techniques that did not seem to control the classroom. It was interesting to make the connection between a controlled classroom and effective teaching. I did not realize how much successful classroom management strategies could enhance student learning. Observing classroom management strategies also enlightened my perspective on teaching and gave me many tools that I want to implement in my own classroom one day. I realized that

Once again, my student teaching time has given me new challenges that I had not encountered to this point. As students have become more comfortable with me as their teacher, their behavior has slightly changed and is no longer the quiet, hesitant students that I had started with. It is nice to have them now willing to participate but they are beginning to blurt out answers and not properly raise their hands. It is these minor things that they are starting to neglect to do and causing slight problems with classroom management. Even though these problems do occasionally bubble up it provides me with the chance to use some of my classroom management skills that I have not been able to work on.

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

In reading the article, “Managing Your Classroom for Success,” I was incredibly excited to know that the article was written by Rosemary and Harry Wong. In my previous research on classroom management, I learned that Harry Wong was one of the most sought after speakers on teacher effectiveness.

[I use post-it notes on the students work. This way if the students have other work they want to turn in or questions to answer then they can just stick the post-it note on the answers they are turning in. Then I also have the original questions. I also realized the first few weeks of school that the students do not respond well to writing on their work, even if it is positive. They feel any writing on their work means they did not do well. I have found writing my comments on the post-it notes allows me to write positive comments and ask questions of the students without them becoming defensive.]

Elli had worked on classroom management since her senior year of high school. During her senior year of college, she had a really good class. She would talk about something and then apply it the next day. It is important to be consistent. Consistency is important in the classroom because students thrive on routines and consistency. A well managed classroom is even more important to students than teachers. It gives them a sense of security. In a classroom that is consistent, students know from day-to-day how the classroom is structured and organized.
