Strategies For Classroom Management • • • •

Organization Communication Monitoring Delivery of Instruction

Organization • Arrange seating in a U-shape, rows or a circle – easily see & move closer to students

• Post a daily schedule and discuss any changes each morning. • Engage students until you have given clear instructions for the upcoming activity

• Encourage students to take responsibility for their learning – not to do the students’ tasks.

• Establish routines for collecting homework, distributing papers, etc.

• Move around the room & attend to individual needs. • Remind students of key procedures associated with the upcoming lesson

• Use group competition to stimulate more orderly transitions

Communication 1.Sending Skills - Deal in the present. - Talk directly to students rather than about them. - Speak courteously. - Take responsibility for statements by using the personal pronoun “I”. - Make statements rather than asking questions.

2.Receiving Skills - Use empathic, no evaluative listening. - Use paraphrasing, active listening or reflecting in order to make the speaker feel heard. - Make eye contact and be aware of nonverbal messages. - Suggest strong leadership by using body carriage, facial expression and gestures.

Monitoring Useful techniques for responding to minor classroom disruption:- Scan the class frequently - React calmly and quickly to a student’s disruptive behavior - Make positive initial contact with students - Remind students of the classroom rules or procedures - Make students clearly aware of the rules and procedures - Give students clear cues indicating that continuation of a behavior will evoke the specified consequences - Employ consistent consequences for misbehaviors - Inform students that they are choosing the consequence of their behavior - Use consequences which are educational in nature - When 1 or 2 students are being very disruptive, focus other students in the class on their task.

Delivery of Instruction • Involve students in evaluating their own work as well as your instruction

• Hand out an outline, definitions, or study guide to help

students organize their thoughts & focus their attention

• Ask the question & give ample wait time before calling on the student

• Vary style as well as the content of instruction – address diverse students’ learning styles

• Provide work of appropriate difficulty to complement varying ability levels

• Relate materials to students’ lives whenever possible • Be animated, create anticipation, & use activities to catch students’ interest or increase students’ motivation to participate

• Engage student learning through cooperative group work,

competitive teams, group discussions, debates, & role playing

Conclusion • Successful classroom management can only happen when the interaction between teachers & students is well-developed besides the good condition in the classroom itself • Most importantly, the teacher should be cared & concerned to maintain a good rapport with students – create a relationship based on mutual affection & trust. • After establishing this basic rapport, we can turn our attention to the techniques that can help sustain a well managed, exciting & productive classroom
