 If
the classroom is out of control the learning environment is destroyed.
Before your classroom reaches that point, take a moment to consider
these handy and important tips for classroom
management.
Classroom Management tip: Having students repeat
expectations is one way to make sure they are clear on what is expected.
Example:
- Teacher: “Brian, thank you for offering to help gather
the papers, but what do I expect you to do during a test?”
- Brian: “You want me to be quiet until everyone is finished.”
- Teacher: “That’s right, Brian. I expect you to
be quiet, and if you have something to say, I expect you to raise
your hand.”
Classroom Management tip: While most student misbehavior
is inconsequential, there are inappropriate behaviors of consequence:
- Disruptive behavior that interferes or destroys the learning
environment
- A student engaging in physical violence
- A student engaging in verbal abuse
Classroom Management tip: The first step in handling
such unacceptable behavior is to Redirect Student Behavior.
- Say something positive: “Brian, I enjoy your art work.
You’re very creative.”
- Describe the problem behavior: “Just now, when I asked
you to stop talking, you continued to talk.”
- Describe the desired behavior: “When I ask you to do something,
you need to look at me and say ‘Ok,’ and follow my
instructions.”
- Reason the new behavior is desired: “If you stop talking,
everyone, including you, will finish the assignment more quickly.”
- Have the pupil repeat the desired behavior: “Brian, what
should you do when I give you instructions?” (Brian says,
“Say “Ok, and then do it.) If Brian does not respond,
prompt him. If he responds inappropriately, then say, “Let’s
practice.” without displaying anger.
- Provide Positive Feedback: “Brian, you did a great job
by saying “Ok,” and staying quiet.”
