Classroom Management through Engagement
Lesley Merritt, Science SpecialistCenter for Math & Science, UAPriscilla Wetzel, Program CoorEducation Renewal Zone, UA
How often do you use cooperative learning groups in your classroom?•A. Daily to multiple times per week•B. Several times a month•C. Once a month•D. Never

The Goal of Classroom Management
To develop a classroom of studentswho are:•Responsible•Motivated•Highly engaged in meaningful task
Most Important Aspects
1. Relationships
2. Structure / Organization
3. Communication
4. Consistency
*Class & Team Building Chips & Cubes
Team Expectations• Offer help to teammates• Ask teammates for help when you need it• Participate and make your contributions to the
team• Encourage others to participate
and contribute• Treat others with respect• Listen respectfully to team mates
SEATING Arrangements
• Seating arrangements are a teachers best tools for controlling student behaviors.
• Knowing which arrangement to use when and where to place students is vital.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTSSUGGESTIONS1. Rearrange as needed based on teaching style and
student behavior.2. Label desks so students can easily find their desk.3. Allow at least a day to transition into new
arrangement before starting group task. During transition day, students work independently.
4. Have isolation desks to move students to if they chose not to behave in the group.

Random Selection:• Call by row (1,2,3,4,5)• Call by row (A,B,C,D,E)• Call by color (red, blue, yellow, green, orange)• Call by individual student (2B, 5A, 4E, etc..)

Use this arrangement:• After you have student
behavior under control in single rows.
• During pairs read, group assignments, projects.
Random Selection:• Call by group • Call by (A,B,C,D,E)• Call by color (red, blue, yellow, green, orange)• Call by individual student (2B, 3A, 4E, etc..)
Assigning Group Rolls:• Blues and Yellows – can
be assigned the same task within their groups.
• Reds and Greens – can be assigned the same task within their groups.

• During labs, group assignments, projects.
Random Selection:• Call by table (1,2,3,4,5,6)• Call by row (A,B,C,D)• Call by color (red, blue, yellow, green)• Call by individual student ( Table 5 - 2B, Table 3-2A, etc..)

TIME
6-7 Instructional days are lost each year due to
transition time- Spencer Kagan
Time is VitalSchedule for every aspect of the class time.
•Beginning activity•Mini lecture• Student Engagement
*** 10 minutes teacher talk / 15-20 minutes student interaction with material
Transformation of Energy: Round Table
All Write Round Table • Turn Kagan timer on• Select Equal Turns Button, then :30 seconds• When ready hit Start• The person (number) selected tells the group an
object that uses electricity.• They then explain to the group which types of
energy that object produces and writes it under the corresponding circle• Group members encourage but do not “give the
answer” • When time is up next person starts.• Continue until time is called by teacher.
Structures Help the Teacher Be More PROACTIVE
•Bell to Bell Student Learning (Best to over plan than under plan)•Bell Ringers•Detailed time schedule for the class•Attention getting signal •Procedures for all types of conversation,
movement, basic needs, and product
Schedules / Agendas
A posted timed agenda for each period will:•Keep the teacher focused•Keep the student focused•Connect the learning• Ensure time is used for instruction
Quiet Signal (verbal & physical)
3-2-1 Hands up
3) Hand up, Stop Talking2) Full attention on teacher
1) Signal others
Structured Routines• Eliminate the time used for:
Passing out papers / materialsTaking up papers / materialsAnswering questions about pencils,
restroom, errands, seating arrangements, etc…
• Thus, allowing more time for instruction! YEA
Model rearranging desk with class
Numbered HeadsExpert Group (5 minutes):• Each person reads their strategy card• Share with the group• Group decides which strategy they want to become
the “expert on.”• Each group creates three similar posters to explain
the strategy (no direct copying from Kagan strategy card)
Teaching Group (5 minutes):• New groups are formed by same number (all 1s
together, etc)• Each person teaches their new group their strategy
Ways to Increase Student Engagement• Increasing opportunities to respond• Implementing thinking devices, stories,
cooperative learning strategies such as TTYN, Jigsaw, and Think-Pair-Share• Implementing comprehension strategies
such as graphic organizers, foldables, unit maps, etc…

In pairs, alternate generating written responses or solving problems while the other coaches.
