  1. Classroom Management

  2. Classroom Management:An introduction • Classroom management is possibly the most important challenge facing beginning teachers. • Effective teachers have a repertoire of management strategies to be used as situations dictate. • In short, classroom management cannot be separated from other aspects of teaching (especially instruction).

  3. Preventative Management • Preventative management is the perspective that many classroom problems can be solved through good planning, interesting and relevant lessons, and effective teaching.

  4. Preventative Management:A perspective • Planning usually begins before the school year with teachers establishing expectations and standards for both behavior and academics. • It is axiomatic among school men that the first day of school, or the first meeting of a class, is all-important in determining the success or failure of a school year (Waller, 1932). • Establishing the conditions for success starts when you first meet your students… (expectations, rules, consequences, procedures, processes, goals, etc.)

  5. Preparing for Effective Management:Establishing Classroom Rules • Establishing rules = Rule creation + Rule enactment • How are rules established in classroom settings? -Teacher creates the rules and enacts them. -Students create rules, and with the teachers help, enact them. -Students create the rules and enact them.

  6. Creating Classroom Rules with students • (1) Articulating hopes and dreams (Students share their individual and collective goals) for the school year. Consider including families to share their goals for their child. • (2) Generating rules (The teacher and students collaborate to generate rules that will allow everyone to achieve their hopes and dreams.) • (3) Framing the rules in the positive (The teacher works with students to turn the rules into positive statements. • (4) Condensing the list down to a few global rules (Teacher/students work to consolidate the list down to three to five global classroom rules.)
