INTRODUCTION:

Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to
keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive
during a class. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers
minimize the behaviours that impede learning for both individual students and groups of
students, while maximizing the behaviours that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom
management is a term teachers use to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons
run smoothly without disruptive behaviour from students compromising the delivery of
instruction. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behaviour pre-emptively, as well
as effectively responding to it after it happens.

successful instruction.” Evertson& Weinstein 2006

PRINCIPLES OF CLASS ROOM MANAGEMENT:

1. Consistent, proactive discipline is the crux of the effective classroom management.


2. Establish routines for all daily tasks and needs.
3. Orchestrate smooth transitions and continuity of momentum throughout the day.
4. Strike a balance between variety and challenge in the students’ activities.
5. As classroom manager, be aware of all actions and activities in the classroom

6. Resolve minor inattention and disruption before they become major disruptions.
7. Reinforce positive behaviour.
8. Treat minor disturbance calmly.
9. Work out a physical arrangement of the chairs that facilitates an interactive teaching-learning
process.
10. Make good use of every instructional moment. Minimize discipline time to maximize
instructional time.
11. Students need control and direction but it is unlikely that they can learn self-control and self-
direction if they are controlled and directed all the time and at every turn.

COMPONENTS OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT:


Good classroom management has three basic and necessary components:
Rules and Procedure
Consequences
Relationships

RULES FACILITATE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT


Classroom rules should be set cooperatively. Establish a few general rules of classroom conduct.
Rules need to be established as a result of a meaningful classroom discussion.
Minimum rules with maximum consistency is the BEST guideline.

PROCEDURES

Procedures are usually unwritten, but have been practiced enough so students know them. It
helps students to know what to do when.
Procedures need to be clearly stated, modelled, and practiced until ALL the students know them
and become automatic.

CONSEQUENCES

Abide by the rules Positive Consequences


Do not abide by the rules Negative Consequences

DISCIPLINARY INTERVENTIONS
The most effective deterrent of inappropriate behaviour is good instruction.
After that comes physical presence.
A friendly reminder.
A firm reminder – in private
“Go to the office!!!!” should not be the first response unless the offense is totally reprehensible,
dangerous, thoroughly disruptive and against a hard and fast school rule.

RELATIONSHIPS
TEACHER TO STUDENT RELATIONSHIP
Clear Purpose and Strong Guidance Effective Instruction
High Level of Cooperation

STRATEGIES AND GUIDELINES IN CLASSROOM


MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE
1. All teachers are faced with problems of discipline. Itis suggested that the best approach should be
positive rather than negative. Aggressive disorder should be dealt with positively such as having
a personal conference with the pupils and parents.
2. Negative measures which should be avoided are sarcasm, threats, forced apology, punishment of
the group for the offense of one or a few, ridicule, nagging, embarrassment, name calling,
humiliating remarks, and corporal punishments.
3. Use assertive body language
4. Use appropriate tone of voice
