Activity 7
Classroom Management

As teacher how can you control the class at first time teaching?

There are many different reasons that a classroom can become out-of-control. Some that come to
mind based on personal observation in learning all through out my education.

1.On the first day of school, provide activity like played getting-to-know-you activities, set rules and
procedures, and did team-building exercises.
it's important to teach your class the importance of respect and working together. A team-building
activity can help.

2.Set the Rules and Be consistent in applying rules. It can be more effective to set up conditions in
which they are less likely to occur.
3.Establish, maintain, and restore relationships: Building relationships with students through
strategies like greeting them at the door is a good start. It’s also necessary to maintain them over the
course of the school year, and to repair them when conflicts arise.
4.Reminders and cues are helpful ways to encourage students to follow instructions without being
overtly controlling or forceful. For example, if you can anticipate a disruption—such as students
getting out of their seats if they finish an assignment early—give a short reminder of what they
should do instead.Reminders are commonly verbal, but can also be visual (flicking the lights to signal
that it’s time to be quiet), auditory (ringing a small bell to let students know they should pay
attention to the teacher), or physical (using a hand signal to let students know to get back in their
seats).
5. Optimize classroom seating. Giving students a sense of ownership in the room, paired with clear
expectations for behavior, can have surprisingly positive effects. A welcoming space can reduce
anxiety and boost academic performance.
6. Set clear expectations: Instead of just displaying rules for behavior, have a discussion with your
students about why those rules matter.
7. Actively supervise: “Presence is crucial to maintaining classroom management and to effective
delivery of instruction, and it’s a skill we can develop with effort. Be active: Move around the room,
check in on student progress, and ask questions. It’s not about policing your students, but about
interacting with them.

How can you control a disruptive behavior without disrupting the lesson?
To control a disruptive behavior, create classroom behavioral expectations.
Stay calm and listen to student concerns – identifying the catalyst for disruption can help you
address the situation in the moment or in a later meeting.

Be steady, consistent and firm.


Acknowledge the feelings of the individual.
Remember that disruptive behavior is often caused by stress or frustration.
Address the disruption individually, directly and immediately.
Be specific about the behavior that is disruptive and set limits.
Remove the student from that class session if the student does not comply with your actions. If the
student does not leave after being asked to do so, you can call UWPD for backup.
Ask the student to see you after class to address the disruption, explore the causes of the incident
and discuss appropriate behavior.
Pay attention to warning signs that the situation is nearing escalation toward violence.
Be aware of your own limitations – operate within your own scope of comfort:

(1) Keep quiet and let the student get whatever it is out of his/her system.
(2) If you had been clear on the very first day of class what your policies are about disruptive
behavior, then you should stick with those policies.
(3) As others said, take a little break or have students do some other related activity while you talk
with the student.
In my opinion, If the disruptive behavior comes from the students strong disagreement against the
lesson you are trying to teach, I would let him/her state their opinion without judgment and keep
asking the student questions to the point that the student comes to realize that they are being
disruptive. Then I would talk to the student after the class to try to see if what is bothering him/her is
personal, emotional, psychological or perhaps a learning disability. You cannot diagnose that
yourself, but perhaps by talking to the student, you might find some cues and be able to talk to the
appropriate persons to help. This approach will, hopefully, lead to some long-term solutions for the
student. As you said, you are in a war torn area and the student might be acting out because of the
stress.

How can a teacher control noise in the classroom?

To control noise in the classroom, the teacher should

1. start every class by asking some questions to the students and/or shortly reviewing the previous
class to motivate them.
2. give eyes to all students while lecturing, notice those who are not paying attention and
immediately ask them question from the current lecture.
3. tell short jokes (if possible) related to the syllabus.
4. give class work to all individually or in groups.
5. make any student to write something or to solve a problem in black (white) board at random.
6. keep giving some moral education as well managing time.
7. give more rewards less punishment. Make them understand that education is not only to get job
but also for better understanding of life and self-respect.
8. make them understand the importance and application of the content for their upcoming level of
study and for their life as well.

Why is it classroom management is important in teaching?

A teacher needs to have a classroom management plan so that everyone can understand the types
of behavior expected, and the consequences in case that behavior is not met. This allows for an
efficient and safe learning environment.

Do online classes need classroom management? Why? or Why not?

Yes. Online classes need classroom management because it will help you to avoid some of the most
common sources of frustration when teaching online, and ensure you get the most from your
students.When teaching online, we need to make the transition to student ownership much more
quickly. We don’t have the power to send students to the office or take away recess. And if we’re
unable to motivate our students, they may not even show up for class. Or they’ll tune in just to tune
out.

This doesn’t mean that online learning is a free-for-all. Online classroom management is a delicate
balance. We need to set the tone for what the new normal will look like. But at the same time, we
need to be flexible.

We have to understand that students are willing participants. Respond to their needs and interests.
Change things up when they get bored or frustrated.
