Classroom Management

Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. 

How to Manage Classroom Discipline?

Discipline Problems Discipline problems are the top most

problems for most of the new teachers. You can't successfully teach your

students if you are not in control. This is also a concern of your principal

and your students' parents. Many teachers have lost their jobs due to

poor classroom management.

How to Manage ?

Keep positive attitude and high expectations in your class.

Expect that your students will behave well, not that they will disrupt.

Come to the class with well prepared lessons

for the day. Make sure to have all

your materials, resources and methods ready to go. Reducing downtime will help to maintain discipline in your classroom.

Be Consistent  Enforce your rules

consistently. If one day you ignore misbehaviors and the next day you jump on someone for the smallest infraction, your students will quickly lose respect for you. 

Make Understandable Rules

You need to be selective in your class rules . You also need to make them clear. Students should understand what is and what is not acceptable.

Use a little humor to stop disruptions

Sometimes all it takes is for everyone to have a good laugh to get things back on track in a classroom.

Direct Instruction Uncertainty increases the

level of excitement in the classroom. The technique of direct instruction is to begin each class by telling the students exactly what will be happening. The teacher outlines what he and the students will be doing this period. He may set time limits for some tasks. 

Environmental Control A classroom can be

a warm cheery place. Students enjoy an environment that changes periodically. Study centers with pictures and color invite enthusiasm for your subject. 

Some very effective quick tips

Use a normal, natural voice Speak only when students are quiet and

ready Use hand signals and other non-verbal

communication Address behavior issues quickly and

wisely
