In a classroom setting there are certain things that are a must in order to get the full benefit and attention of the students. These here are five tips that I find that can greatly Impact a teacher’s performance in the classroom:
• Room Arrangement
• Setting Expectation for Behavior
• Managing Students Academic Work
• Managing Inappropriate Behavior
• Promoting Inappropriate Use of Consequence
Poor planning a room can create conditions that lead to problems. The teacher should be able to see all the students and be able to watch their behavior. Students also should be able to see the teacher area without the need to turn around or to the side of them. Tools like books, rulers, pens and pencils should be readily available and lanes that are frequently used should be easily accessible.
Every now and then teachers should let the students know what is expected of them. Rules are a good way to emphasize expectation. General rules that can be posted somewhere on a wall is a good way to start. Also school regulation should be posted.
When it comes to a students work, they should be held accountable. The purpose is to focus on the child’s academic and not whether they are good or bad. You shouldn’t give them a “PASS” or in other words let them get away with an incomplete assignment and grade them an “A” as if they did complete it; When it comes to their work they should be held accountable. Also when it comes to a student’s behavior there are skills that should be practiced. You want to:
- Detect the misbehaviors early so that it doesn’t erupt nor get others involved.
- Act to stop the behavior but continue on with the lesson so that it doesn’t become a distraction to the lesson plan nor to draw attention to you as if it’s bothering you and they won… What you can do is get close to the misbehaving student, make eye contact with that student or signal that student in some way or fashion to let them know that you notice them, but keep the instructional lesson going.
- You can even call that student out, call their name and redirect them to what they should be doing instead of what they are doing.
In a classroom a positive enforcement for a student would be a sense of accomplishment; as in good grades and recognition. Too many punishments in the classroom should be avoided. It’s associated with poor classroom management. If there is punishment is should be understood that it’s directly because of their misbehavior.
If these 5 Tips are followed, classroom behavior and learning will be a whole lot effective.
