CLASSROOM
MANAGEMENT?
Classroom management is ways of organizing the
resources, pupils and helpers so that teaching and
learning can proceed in an efficient and safe manner.
Its not about only rules
Its about relationship
As well
The biggest deterrent to classroom management issues is
proactive, effective lessons.
The more you plan, the more effective the lesson and
delivery…the less problems with discipline.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Classroom Management involves establishing
procedures, having rules, and reducing discipline
problems.
Why do students cause
discipline problems?
The Teacher Role!!!!!
The Behavior of the students within the classroom are a
direct product of the teacher’s Environment.
STUDENTS MISBEHAVE FOR
SEVERAL REASONS:
They are bored.
They don’t know the purpose of your presentation.
They don’t understand how the information that
you are delivering applies to them.
Instruction is uninteresting
The pace of the instruction is incorrect (too fast, or
too slow).
Not enough interaction between and among peers.
"LISTEN" TO THE STUDENTS’
MISBEHAVIOR.
Student misbehavior isn't just an annoying
disruption --- it's a secret message the
student is (unwittingly) trying to convey to
you.
GUIDING VALUES OF
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Effective teachers MANAGE their
classrooms with procedures and
routines.
Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE their
classrooms with threats and
punishments.
SEVEN THINGS STUDENTS WANT TO
KNOW ON THE FIRST DAY.

Where am I supposed to sit?
Who is the teacher as a person?
Will the teacher treat me as a human
being?
What are the rules in this classroom?
What will I be doing this year?
How will I be graded?
