Classroom management involves establishing rules, routines, and positive reinforcement to maintain an environment conducive to learning. Key aspects of effective classroom management include gaining student respect through consistent enforcement of rules, using proximity and seating arrangements to monitor behavior, and rewarding good behavior with praise rather than punishments or bribes. While classroom management takes trial and error, understanding student motivations, reinforcing positive behavior, and having clear expectations and consequences can help new teachers establish control.

Classroom management

By Nikolas John Cakebread


Introduction.
• Classroom management is the
methods and strategies used by
the teacher to maintain a
classroom environment that is
conducive to student success and
learning.
• Classroom management is a key component to
being a successful teacher, and it has everything
to do with your attitude in the classroom and how
you deal with your students in general.
• Every new teacher struggles with classroom
management in the beginning because they don’t
focus enough on establishing their role as ‘boss’ in
the classroom. (remember you are the
DIRECTOR) 
• A) Respect:Students must understand that there
are certain rules that they must follow to ensure
their success. For teachers new to a class
setting guidelines for the classroom will help
develop the respect that is needed so students
can do their best.
• If you don’t take control of your classroom,
your students most certainly will.
Respect:
Students must understand that there are certain rules that they
must follow to ensure their success.
Consistency:
Having a consistent set of procedures and routines that the
students are familiar with will help the classroom run like a well-
oiled machine
Proximity:
Instructors manage what is going on in the classroom. Walking
around the room and standing next to students who may be
causing a problem will usually eliminate the problem quickly.
Changing seats to be nearer the teacher can be a quick fix,
or even next to quieter students.
Seating Arrangement:
The instructor needs to think about the order of the room and
how it will affect the students. Can they see the board? Can
they see you? Are they uncomfortable at the back or front?
The seating arrangement also needs to be organized in a way
that the instructor can easily move around the room and
monitor student behavior
Trial and Error:
Finding out what works with students and allowing the class to
develop into a safe and secure environment takes time.
New to rules?
• Here are some examples
• No shouting .
• No eating in class.
• Be repectful.
• Be nice.
• Put your hand up to speak.
• No fighting.
• No talking when teacher is.
• No running .
• No arguing with teacher.
• Bring a pencil to class
• Bring your book to class.
• Be kind to others.
Understanding why
• Are your students bored?
• Are your lessons age- and level
appropriate?
• Do they have behavioral issues ?
• Do your students understand what’s
happening in class?
• Do your students think that you care about
them?
• Do they care about learning?
Positive reinforcement
• Increase your students’ ‘self-
esteem’ with praise and
encouragement.
• People respond better to praise
than criticism.
• Encourage and praise good behavior
in class and you should find that your
students will respond to your
encouragement by wanting to please
you.
Using rewards
• Employing a reward system is
almost always more effective
than doling out punishments.
• Most students respond to
rewards, but offering things like
toys or stickers for good
behavior can be expensive and
can backfire.
• Instead of bribing your students’
into good behavior, try one of
the following techniques as a
reward………
• 1-Give a student verbal or written praise
• 2-Give them a star on their homework
• 3-Create a special board for your
classroom and include everyone’s name on
it. Reward good behavior with a star and
bad behavior with a pig.
• 4-Display their work in the classroom
• 5-Allow them to sit in a place of honor
• 6-Give them a special hat 
• 7-Allow them to help the teacher
• 8-Give them a special note to take home to
their parents
• 9-Allow them to lead a group activity
• 10-Allow them to help or tutor another
student
Rules to manage classes.
• 1:Begin the class with clear rules, and stick
to them
• 2: Be clear to the students that you are the
teacher and not a friend
• 3:Over Plan (no dead time)
• 4:Classroom order.
• 5:Have a fast paced and changing
environment .
• 6:Avoid yelling or losing your temper .
• 7:Avoid confrontations in front of students
• 8:Reward good behavior. (high five )
• 9:Be fair and respectful of your students.
• 10:Have a sense of humor.
If all else fails.
• Some Children are just naughty and no amount of positive reinforcement or rewards will
work. Here are some ideas for the problem children you will experience in your classroom.
• Moderate methods:
• Rub the name out or part of the letters.
• Lose team or individual stickers or points.
• Move to another chair beside a quiet girl or boy.
• Stand up and say something in English.
• Time the class how long to be quiet.
• Sit out of the game or next activity.
For more serious cases or consistently disruptive children who have been given plenty of chances.
• Serious methods (used as a last resort):
• Chat after class.
• Naughty chair.
• Sit beside teacher.
• Go for a walk with 3rd teacher to bathroom.
• 3 strike rule.
• Sent out of class (be careful- can cause problems with school/parents etc)
• Speak to parents/ send letter home.
