Through this study I hope to be able to adapt my learning of PCM into a practical understanding and use it as a tool to create a teaching environment conducive to focused and engaged learning. What is meant by Positive Classroom Management? Positive Classroom Management is the generic term for a set of management skills used in the classroom to precipitate a controlled, relaxed and productive learning environment. It requires the teacher to take on the mantle of ‘Leader’ within the classroom and earn authority and respect
Through the implementation of CBI, the target student, thus promoting self-management, accountability for actions, and independence, completes three procedures. (Yell et al., 2009) The first phase is for the child to record the rate that the behavior occurred. Self- monitoring is said to be very successful in promoting positive relations between learners. In order for students to successfully record their behavior they must identify that the behavior is actually happening, then the behavior is recorded. This is usually done on graphic organizer or journal provided by the teacher.
Certain curriculum goals of anti-bias curriculum are to foster each child's: *building of a well-informed, confident self-identity; *comfortable, empathic interaction with people from diverse backgrounds; *critical thinking about bias; * capability to stand up for themselves and for others in the face of unfairness. A belief in the importance of human diversity and the fair treatment of all people is a must for doing anti-bias work. When teachers become dedicated to learning how to implement anti-bias courses in their settings, they seem to go through four identifiable stages. ESTABLISHING THE ENVIRONMENT Stage one includes teachers raising their own consciousness of anti-bias matters related to themselves, their program, and the children in their care. A support group is vital for this method.
In order to improve the area and society in which a school is based, is subject knowledge key to improvement of crime, economic welfare and wellbeing or are morels, values and communication skills a necessity. I think they are definitely a necessity and the remaining question is whether it is the role of the local school to teach these morels, values and communication skills or whether it is the role of the family in which an individual is raised in. It can be shown that schools are aware of this role from the following quote taken from (White, 2006) “The English School Curriculum aims to help every young person to live a fulfilling life and to help others to do so. It does this within a framework of democratic citizenship in which each person is equally valued and each person is free to make her or his own decisions about how she or he is to lead her or his life.” The Pastoral System The pastoral system is a curriculum that “combines all aspects of the school life which together contributes to the formation of the whole person” (ASCL, 2007). Before any statutory requirements were put into place, schools already recognised the importance of a citizenship curriculum.
• It stresses the importance of using the classroom to help the students overcome negative attitudes. • It forms positive skills. • It educates students in emotional and personal development as well as intellectual areas of study. • Too much focusing on attitudes can take away time from the content or academics. Morrish's "Real Discipline" • It shows and demonstrates a clear understanding of human nature and how students will react.
Secondly, children increase social and cognitive development from positive influences that are communicated by teachers. Emphasis around Vygotsky’s theory will explain the basis of social interaction facilitating learning with the benefit of good communication (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010). Thirdly, teachers must develop high level of written and verbal communication skills. This will develop good relationships between the teacher, student and family leading to proper educational practices that will improve student’s overall outcomes will enhance their literacy skill. Finally, educators with effective communication skills prove an ability to adapt teaching methods to suit the needs of students they are supporting (Kearns, 2012), and with appropriate delivery of good communication, student learning increases.
Strategies to implement social emotional climate in the Classroom Developing students’ social and emotional competencies helps schools create safe learning environments that contribute to academic achievement for all. The information provided relates to leadership, professional development, resource coordination, instructional approaches, policies and protocols, and collaboration with families. Social and emotional learning means the processes by which children acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to: • recognize and manage their emotions, • demonstrate caring and concern for others, • establish positive relationships, • make responsible decisions, and • constructively handle challenging social situations The goals of socila emotional curricula include teaching the following basic skills: Self-Awareness focuses on identifying and recognizing emotions; accurate self-perception; strengths, needs, and values; and self-efficacy. Self-Management includes impulse control and stress management; self-motivation and discipline; goal setting; and organizational skills. Social Awareness addresses perspective taking; empathy; difference recognition; and respect for others.
That meant the instructor should select learning tasks that are worth learning and develop this content in ways that help students to appreciate their significance and application potential to analyze the students and identify learning styles, such as active or reflective students. These learning styles can be categorized with the relevance portion of Keller's ARCS model because they assist in matching a student's motives. The first subcategory in relevance strategies is goal orientation. Relevance strategies highlight how the students' previous experiences and skills can be used to help them understand, learn new concepts, and link to students' needs, interests, and motives. This strategy can help teach the concept of writing academic summaries, which are essential to incorporating sources in argument essays.
Effective teachers understand the impact of students’ backgrounds and experiences on their learning. The second standard is content knowledge. ("Ohio standards for," ) A deep understanding of content is essential for teachers to have the power to positively impact student learning and achievement. Effective teachers demonstrate a deep and reflective understanding of content- specific practices, processes and vocabulary.. These teachers make content meaningful, relevant and applicable to students
My personal philosophy for classroom management can be summarized by a simple acronym. E.E.L. Efficient Effective Leadership Teaching is a leadership role, and with any role, there are responsibilities. Children come to school with the expectation of learning. In providing the proper atmosphere for learning, classroom management is an important key in the success of your school year.
