Well in my opinion each person will have his or her own opinion about that answer. I believe an effective classroom is when things transition from one routine to the other smoothly with no disruption. An effective classroom needs rules and organization, in order for the classroom to be successful. Rules are statements of a teacher’s expectation for each student’s behavior in the classroom. A teacher needs certain expectations; (specific behaviors or outcomes) in order for the classroom to run smoothly.
A student needs to feel comfortable with themselves, others, and the teacher, so there can be meaningful discussion and interactions. Teacher and student relationships are essential to ensure a positive school/classroom atmosphere. Rules are stated in this manner, because teacher and student develop the rules together. This way student feels some ownership about how the class is run and is more likely to follow rules and procedures. CLASSROOM RULES: 1.
Wayson also spoke about teacher student relations and how to open your classroom for more effective learning. He talked about not embarrassing a student, but in turn seeking alternate ways of getting your message across. This is something that we have touched on throughout the course, but something I feel to be very important. I think its imperative that as teachers we think about what our actions have the power to do. At the elementary level, we are shaping how students feel about themselves which can affect them the rest of their lives.
This naturally formed structure is not conducive to a cooperative, respectful, safe, learning environment. By careful observation, a teacher can learn valuable information and plot a strategic management plan, which uses the positive qualities of the hierarchy, such as student leadership, and rejects the negative qualities. While the teacher is observing her class, an equally intense reconnaissance of the teacher is being carried out by the students. With a thoughtful strategy, a teacher can change the destiny of her students (and herself), if she has the foresight and fortitude to commit to her plan of action. Self Management The students should be made aware of what their responsibilities are and exactly what is expected of them.
At the start of the course, a teacher has to establish the ground rules and ensure that it is clearly understood by learners. It is important that rules are clear and unambiguous. Ground rules can be reviewed during the course of study. Jo Budden also stated “In the middle of the course, it is never too late to refresh students’ memories of the ground rules”. The following are some ways to establishing ground rules: The school would have its rules, and this needs to be established at the start of the course and must be clearly communicated verbally or in writing to ensure that learners understand it so as to ensure compliance.
Students must feel safe and secure in their class in order to learn and grow in education. In order to control these types of behaviors the teacher must first recognize the misbehavior and handle it in a professional manner from the onset. Students learn from example as much as from example. Teacher set the example. They can do this by putting a stop to the disruption and using it as a learning experience for all the other students.
Running Head: Theories NBT Task 1: Classroom Management Theories Rob Tippett Western Governors University NBT1: Classroom Management, Engagement, & Motivation Mentor Robert Bott Abstract For this task I will be creating a personal philosophy of classroom management related to my area of licensure in Special Education. This work will explain how elements of classroom management theories influence my personal philosophy in; self-management, self-efficacy, student motivation, and student engagement. I will also be looking at strategies for managing routine misbehaviors into my classroom management philosophy. My philosophy on classroom management focuses on creating a calm, safe environment for each student. I will create this environment through an engaging curriculum, personable interaction, topic orientated discussions, and group work.
Some groups will have a group leader, for example in a classroom the group leader will always be the teacher. This is because the lesson needs to follow a plan and stay focused on the subject and the issues which need to be covered. In a group therapy meeting the councillor is the leader this is so that they can guide the group’s discussion. It is important that the group discussion is guided to prevent any confrontation, help ensure all the participants feel confident and able to state their point of view freely; they also need to make sure the subject matters are covered within the discussion. Taking it in turns to talk Informal Some groups do not have a group leader which can lead to people talking over each other, the conversation will not have a purpose as no one will be listening, so it is important that we know how to take it in turns to talk to each other.
So, it’s the duty of the teacher try to figure out what’s causing students that they are not taking interest in their classes. If I were a teacher I would have followed the following steps as a teacher to make the content not boring and make students more active in the classroom. As a teacher I need to aware of learning, motivation, behavior, and development theories in order to relate to my students and push them to reach their full potential. It is my duty to see that all my students are being motivated this is only fair to the students. They deserve my time and full attention in regards to their
Running head: MY PERSONAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT My Personal Classroom Management Grand Canyon University EDU430N: Classroom Management Professor Allison Atkins June 20, 2010 My Personal Classroom Management Plan In order to establish an optimal system of discipline, teachers need an encompassing viewpoint that includes the purpose of discipline as well as the elements that comprise discipline and how those elements work to improve behavior while still maintaining motivation and dignity (Charles, 2008). There are various approaches to discipline that are effective in the classroom. Almost any disciplinary approach can be organized to focus on helpfulness and positive relations with students (Charles, 2008). Therefore, when teachers
