Classroom Management

 

 

 

 

I would like to discuss different characteristics and areas such of Teaching Strategies and Classroom Management Techniques.

Some of the five different content areas put together on the creation for this blog are:

·       Differentiated Instruction

·       Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

·       Classroom Structure Environment

·       Compare and Contrast of Management Systems

·       Code of Ethics and Principles of Professional Conduct

For content information and discussion purposes, each of these subject areas can be found, individually, under “Pages”.

I my opinion Classroom Management create and give clear expectations to the students; describing the goals, methods of assessment, classroom rules and academic expectations will build an effective teacher–student relationship. Classroom management is closely linked to issues of motivation, discipline and respect.

A continuation is a general overview in Classroom management:  

Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior.

According to Moskowitz & Hayman (1976), once a teacher loses control of their classroom, it becomes increasingly more difficult for them to regain that control. Also, research from Berliner (1988) and Brophy & Good (1986) shows that the time a teacher has to take to correct misbehavior caused by poor classroom management skills results in a lower rate of academic engagement in the classroom. From the student’s perspective, effective classroom management involves clear communication of behavioral and academic expectations as well as a cooperative learning environment.

 

Classroom management as a process

Dr. Tracey Garrett also describes classroom management as a process consisting of key tasks that teachers must attend to in order to develop an environment conducive to learning. These tasks include: (1) organizing the physical environment, (2) establishing rules and routines, (3) developing caring relationships, (4) implementing engaging instruction and (5) preventing and responding to discipline problems.

Classroom management as time management

The goal of classroom management is to not only maintain order but to optimize student learning. They divide class time into four overlapping categories: Allocated time, Instructional time, Engaged time, Academic learning time.
