Classroom management is…• What you do as a teacher to promote positive learning

behavior with your students and to organize time, transitions, and materials in ways that make learning more efficient.

Page 5: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Agree or Disagree

1. Be extremely strict and stern when you begin teaching so that you can establish order from the beginning.

2. Focus on “big picture” behavior issues with your students, rather than focusing on details of their behavior.

3. Good classroom management shows itself in quiet and studious student behavior.

4. A teacher should reward good behavior.

5. Include tough consequences as part of your classroom management plan.

Classroom Management Tips

Page 11: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#1: Build a relationship with your students.

Know their names.

Know who they are.

Have them get to know each other.

Build community.

Page 12: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 13: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas… • Find ways to learn the names of your students.

• Name tags• Name art• Name games• Name repetition

• Create activities in which students have to get to know each other…• “Find Someone Who”• Group Projects• Pair Work• Students introduce themselves • Students introduce each other• “About me” projects, posters, and presentations

Page 14: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#2: Develop routines for your classroom.

Page 15: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 16: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Make every day proceedings easier and more efficient by

establishing routines…

• Daily warm-up activities• Agenda on the board each day• Procedures for handing in materials• Procedures for sitting down, lining up, exiting the classroom, etc.

• Procedures for asking for or retrieving materials• Procedures for accepting consequences and rewards for negative or positive behavior

Page 17: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#3: Give students responsibility in the classroom, and responsibility for their learning.

Page 18: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 19: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Students can rotate doing basic management activities,

like taking attendance, collecting papers, erasing the board, cleaning up their learning environment, etc.

• Communicate responsibilities to students’ parents as much as possible.

• If there is a policy, follow through with that policy to the greatest extent possible (homework, classwork, tests, projects, etc.)

• Numbered heads together• Assign students to numbers or colors

Page 20: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Numbered Heads Together

Page 21: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#4: Develop a set of rules for your classroom, and have students participate in the process.

Page 22: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 23: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…

• Students can help define classroom rules that promote respect and a good learning environment.

• Make sure there are fair consequences for breaking the rules, and that all students agree on them.

• Use rewards as you see fit. Make sure not to choose and show “favorites.”

Page 24: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

My Rules…• Be Punctual• Be Prepared • Be Polite• Be Proactive • Be Persistent

Be Punctual Come to class on time.

Be Prepared Bring a pencil and notebook and do your homework.

Be Polite Be kind to people and treat them how you want to be treated.

Be Proactive Don’t guess at what you’re supposed to do. Find out what to do and do it!

Be Persistent Be your best and do your best every day!

Page 25: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

•Natural Reinforcement

Natural reinforcement is what occurs directly as a result of the behavior. For

example, a girl studies hard, pays attention in class, and does her

homework. As a result, she gets excellent grades.

Page 26: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Token Reinforcement

Token reinforcement is when points or tokens are awarded for performing certain actions. These tokens can then be exchanged for

something of value.

Page 27: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Social Reinforcement

Social reinforcement involves expressing approval of a

behavior, such as a teacher, parent, or employer saying or

writing "Good job" or

"Excellent work."

Page 28: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Tangible Reinforcement

Tangible reinforcement involves the presentation of an actual, physical reward such as candy, treats, toys,

money, and other

desired objects.

Page 29: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Rules Consequences Rewards

• Work in groups of 3 or 4. • Assume you will have 35 or more students in your

classroom. • Develop a list of rules, consequences, and rewards.• Think about how you can get your students involved in the

rule-making process. • Present your ideas to everyone.

Page 30: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#5: Movement is important in a classroom, for both the teacher and the students.

Page 31: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 32: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Think of and implement as many ways as possible to get

students moving!• Stretch breaks• Stand up, twirl in a circle, and sit down breaks• Simon Says• Follow the leader• Hokey Pokey• Songs (with dance/movements!)• Class transitions (moving from individual to group work and vice versa)• Total Physical Response activities• Drawing, coloring, writing, manipulating objects• Agree or disagree movements

• Thumbs up/down, stand up or sit down

• Group work

Page 33: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#6: Try to add variety to your lessons.

Page 34: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 35: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas• While routines are good for learning, so is variety. • For example:

• Start class by playing music.• Present your PowerPoint in all different colors.• Stand at the back of the room while you present the lesson.• Wear a funny hat.• Have students throw a ball (or light object) every time they

answer a question. • Bring in something tangible for students to touch and look at

related to the lesson to spark interest. • Show a video clip. • Have students answer questions by standing up rather than

raising their hands.

Page 36: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#7: Use signals to get students’ attention or to change tasks in class.

Page 37: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 38: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Train students to respond to your signals, to stop working, be quiet,

or pay attention to you. You could clap your hands, flicker the lights, wave arms in the air, or hold up an object.

• OTHER IDEAS:• The teacher stands at the front of class and claps in a pattern.

The students mimic the pattern. If not all students have responded, the teacher claps again, and the students respond by mimicking the pattern again.

• Teacher: “One, Two, Three, Eyes on Me!”

Students: “One, Two, Eyes on YOU!”• Teacher: “If you can hear me clap once….twice….three times,

etc.”

#8: Use rubrics for marking papers and setting standards for student work.

Page 42: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 43: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…

• Develop standard rubrics for student work, such as essays, projects, presentations, tests, or other assignments.

• Train students to use rubrics, so they understand the expectations for each assignment, and so they can begin to use rubrics for peer editing.

• Make it easy on yourself! Post the rubrics or have them on hand, then mark student work in your grade book on a regular basis.

Page 44: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#9: Use a teacher’s notebook for monitoring and keeping notes for grading.

Page 45: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 46: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Take notes about individual students (or groups),

regarding class participation, homework, or other tasks. • Seating chart?• Attendance• Give a mark or grade for each student each day.

This could be done at the end of the lesson as students do a closing activity or line up. Give yourself time to do this each day. It will really help you to remember what happened and give you more accuracy in figuring final grades.

Page 47: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

#10: Address classroom management or behavior issues with PEP: Proximity, Eye Contact, Personal Touch.

Page 48: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com
Page 49: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Ideas…• Proximity: Moving closer to a student allows the

teacher to continue the lesson without interruption, while giving the student a little extra attention.

• Eye Contact: Making eye contact with students shows that the teacher is focusing on them and paying individual attention.

• Personal Touch: By adding a “personal touch”, whether it’s calling out a student’s name in the lesson or tapping a student on the shoulder, the teacher can call the student’s attention back to the lesson without further interruption. Students like to hear their names, and like to feel noticed by the teacher.

Page 50: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenarios…• Get into groups and read your scenario. • Discuss how you would handle it.• Present to the group.

Page 51: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 1

You have 40 students in your second grade classroom. Of the 40, five of

them are exceptionally hyperactive. What do you do with those students to

maximize on their strengths and minimize classroom disruption?

Page 52: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 2

You have a student who will fail your class. The parents are extremely angry

and over protective. They do not understand why their student is failing, believe it is your fault, and are bringing

the matter to the principal. What do you say, bring, and do at the meeting

with the principal?

Page 53: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 3

You have established a wonderfully organized plan and are trying to

implement it in your class, but it is very different from what goes on in other

classrooms at your school. The students are not following your plan as

much as you would like and are not following procedures as you’d like.

What do you do?

Page 54: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 4

You have 40 students in your fifth grade classroom. Of the 40, five of them are

very quiet and with all of the other students in your classroom, it is easy to ignore them or look over their needs. How do you plan to involve them in class activities and make sure their

needs are being met?

Page 55: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 5

Your students do not have books and half of them usually do not bring pencils

to class. You have no technology in your classroom. How do you plan to encourage students to be prepared,

equip them with materials, and maximize on limited resources or find

resources to use?

Page 56: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 6

You have a student who is bullying other students in class.

What do you do to stop or minimize this problem?

Page 57: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 7

The teacher you are co-teaching with does not like any of your ideas

and is constantly shutting down new strategies that you would like to implement. What do you do?

Page 58: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 8

After the first 10 minutes of your first day of class, when you are working with a co-teacher, you are on your own. You receive very little feedback or support from the staff at your school.

What do you do?

Page 59: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 9

You have several students in your class who do not seem to be

making progress in their learning. How do you change the daily routines and activities in your

classroom to help address their challenges on a daily basis?

Page 60: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 10

The expectations for lesson planning, grading, reporting, and extra curricular activity involvement you have at your school are overwhelming. You have had very little sleep and do not have time to enjoy your personal life in the evenings or on the weekends. What

do you do?

Page 61: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Katie Bain English Language Fellow ktbain53@gmail.com

Scenario 11

A student speaks to you in an extremely disrespectful way in front of the entire class.

How do you react?
