Effective Classroom Management

Hello Everyone,

I would like to share   few ways of effective classroom management. Classroom management is one of the things which a teacher needs to manage well. To have well managed class a teacher should,

1.    

Setting rules in the classroom will be very helpful and effective at the same time. When a teacher sets few rules which need to be followed during his/her class, it will automatically become a discipline among the students. the teacher can set creative and innovative rules as their like such as can sit next to their friend, can use the play area for a longer time if the students complete the homework earlier and more.

This will indicate the students to accomplish work well and to behave well in class. Apart from that, the teacher needs to be more specific with their rule setting because, let’s assume that the teacher allows the students to eat in the class, if the following day the students would bring home cooked food, nasi kandar or more and eat in class. The teacher cannot question the student because she gave the permission to eat (tit-bits) in the class but the students misused it.

Teacher need to be specific in each and everything so that students would not misinterpret and take advantage of the rule setting. Hence, setting specific rules can become a trade mark for the teacher such as, in teacher Devi’s class the students can use the computer for longer time if they complete the homework quickly and correctly.

2.    

Time management is really important for a teacher. If a teacher is poor in time management he/she would not be able to complete their lesson in time. For an example, the class starts at 10 am and the teacher attend the class at 10.10 am. The lesson will be incomplete because unable to end the lesson as planned.

When the teacher set the rule they can be particular in timing also. For an example, class after assembly or science (students need to go to the lab). The teacher can set rules that the students can be only five minutes late for the class and before the teacher enters the class must be in a ready situation to teach and learn.

Moreover for a single period class, teacher can make the class more effective by make the students answer for the work sheets in the class while discussing. This will conduct a Q&A session where teacher and students are engaged to strengthen the bonding and also gain knowledge. By doing this teacher can also reduce the homework load for the students. Thus, to have a clear record teacher can write the homework done in class under reflection to help whoever checks their record book to understand better.

3.    Teaching approaches.

Teaching approaches are the ways teachers used while conducting the lesson for an example complimenting the student, giving positive/negative feedback in a very adaptive way and more. In classroom teacher might also face problems with student’s behavior such as the hyperactive student, the slow learner, the cheeky student, cunning students, self isolating student and more.

To deal with student’s behavior teacher can take down their behavioral change in the anecdotal book or the teacher can personally approach the students to clarify their problem. For an example, when teacher tries to approach or talk to the student. The student might avoid the teacher or cut of the conversation.

 The teacher can try several approaches to communicate with the student to identify whether the problem is with the teachers teaching methods or with the student. The result will be either the student cooperate or keeps avoiding. Such students might have personal or family problems which they feel shame to express.

There are also students who do not like teacher and because of that they will not pay attention in the class. To shape such problematic students it might take longer time but the teacher must not lose their hope and need to keep on trying. It is because as a teacher, we did not only educate the students but we do play several roles n their life.

Teacher is a person who takes initiative to shape their students behavior to product a better human capital and also to shape the society. That is all for today, hope had a great time reading, please do leave feedback below by commenting and have a marvelous

 day a head.

Thank you.
