CLASSROOM
MANAGEMENT
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
 refers to the ways in which student behavior, movement and
interaction during a lesson are organized and controlled by
the teacher” Richards (1990, 10)

 In the literature, classroom management is often referred to


as a “wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to
keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task,
and academically productive during a class” (Abbott, 2014.
(2014).
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
AND TECHNIQUES
1. Model ideal behavior
Make a habit of demonstrating behavior you want to
see, as many studies show that modelling effectively
teaches students how to act in different situations.
2. Let students help establish guidelines
Encourage all students to help you build classroom
expectations and rules, as you’ll generate more buy-in
than just telling them what they’re not allowed to do.

3. Document Rules
Don’t let your mutually-respected guidelines go
forgotten.
4. Avoid punishing the class
Address isolated discipline problems individually
instead of punishing an entire class, as the latter can
hurt your relationships with students who are on-
task and thereby jeopardize other classroom
management efforts.
5. Encourage Initiative
Promote growth mindset, and inject variety into your
lessons, by allowing students to work ahead and deliver
short presentations to share take-away points. Almost
inevitably, you’ll have some eager learners in your
classroom. You can simply ask them if they’d like to
get ahead from time-to-time.
6. Offer Praise
Praise students for jobs well done, as doing
so improves academic and behavioral performance,
according to a recent research review and study.

7. Use non-verbal communication


Complement words with actions and visual aids
to improve content delivery, helping students focus
and process lessons.
8. Hold Parties
Throw an occasional classroom party to acknowledge
students’ hard work, motivating them to keep it up.

9. Give tangible rewards


Reward specific students at the end of each lesson, in
front of the class, as another motivational and
behavior-reinforcement technique.
10. Make positive letters and phone calls
Keep students happy in and out of class by pleasantly
surprising their parents, making positive phone calls
and sending complimentary letters home

11. Build excitement for content and lesson plans


This one works well no matter the grade level:
elementary school, middle school or high school. Start
lessons by previewing particularly-exciting
parts, hooking student interest from the get-go.
12. Offer different types of free study time
Provide a range of activities during free study time
to appeal to students who struggle to process content
in silence, individually.

13. Write group contracts


Help student group work run smoothly and
effectively by writing contracts that contain guidelines,
having everyone sign.
14. Assign open-ended projects
Encourage students to tackle open-ended projects -
projects that don’t demand a specific product - to allow
them to demonstrate knowledge in ways that
inherently suit them.

15. Give only two scores for informal assessments


Recall a time you saw a big “F” in red ink on your
work. You were probably too upset to review mistakes
and feedback, and so are your students when they see
the same.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS
16. Use EdTech that adjusts to each student
Give students who struggle to process your content
opportunities to try educational technology that adapts to their
needs.

17. Interview students


Interview students who aren’t academically engaged or displaying
prosocial behavior to learn how to better manage them.
18. Address inappropriate or off-task behavior quickly
Avoid hesitation when you must address inappropriate or off-task
behavior, especially when a student breaks a documented rule.

19. Consider peer teaching


Use peer teaching as a classroom management strategy if you
feel your top performers can help engage and educate disruptive
and struggling students.

20. Gamify personal learning plans


Motivate students on personal learning plans by gamifying those
plans, as studies — such as recent research from South Korea —
indicate this will continuously engage and incentivize them.
What is the best
classroom
management style?
According to Diana Baumrind's work, a clinical
psychologist known for her research on parenting styles,
some educators believe an authoritative classroom
management style may the best one. This type of high
control, high involvement classroom management style
is characterized by strong expectations of appropriate
behavior, clear understandings of why certain behaviors
are acceptable and others not acceptable, and warm
student-teacher relationships.
What are the four
components of
classroom management?
Classroom design — be intentional about how you set up
your desk, your students' desks, bulletin board displays,
devices and other aspects of your classroom. Thoughtful
classroom design can help create a safe and welcoming
learning environment.

Rules/discipline — to create a safe and caring school


community, develop classroom rules your students
understand and — hopefully — respect. While it may not be
fun, be sure to communicate that breaking classroom rules
will have concrete yet fair consequences.
Scheduling/organization — being on time, keeping on task
and staying organized will help set up your lessons (and
your students' learning) up for success.

Instructional technique — while you may not have the


flexibility you'd like when it comes to content and
curriculum, you should have the freedom to
choose how you teach.
Why is classroom
management so
important?
When done effectively, classroom management is
important for three main reasons. It:

Creates and sustains an orderly


1 learning environment in the
classroom.
Improves meaningful academic
2 learning and
emotional growth.
fosters social-

Increases students' academic


3 engagement and lowers negative
classroom behavior.
