Classroom ManagementAnnabelle L. Tenorio

Classroom ManagementClassroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. The purpose of implementing classroom management strategies is to enhance pro-social behavior and increase student academic engagement.

Why is it Important?Effective classroom management:• Establishes and sustains an orderly

environment in the classroom.• Increases meaningful academic learning and

facilitates social and emotional growth.• Decreases negative behaviors and increases

time spent academically engaged.

Strategies1. Right at the beginning set up standards of

behavior and allow no exceptions. Be consistent, gently but firmly. Explain why standards should be followed, every day, the whole year through.

StrategiesExample:• Silence during lining up, going in and out of

rooms, mobilizations, recitations, other activities.

• Completion of work, assignments, tests, projects, seatworks etc.

• Proper behavior at all times, regular attendance punctuality

• Observance of school rules and regulations, ID’s, uniforms, etc.

Strategies2. Establish/implement routine procedures.

Example:• What to do as soon as students/pupils enter

the room, with or without the teacher• How to check attendance, homework, books,

ect• Where to place things• How to take part in class activities

Strategies2. Establish/implement routine procedures.Example:• Listen attentively to the teacher, to anyone reciting.

Ask questions when needed, politely. Stand quickly when called upon to recite. Do seatwork fast/independently, quietly. Avoid unnecessary movements; unnecessary talking and noise.

• Why/ how materials should be ready: ballpens, test papers of different sizes, materials for experiments, theme notebooks, and books.

Strategies3. Acquaint students with the learning sequence. Examples:• Teachers present lessons, discusses, evaluates/tests.• Teacher explains steps in experimentation, problem

solving performing projects, etc., then expects questions and independent work. So, listening. Observing, and participating are important.

• Make it clear that anyone who disturbs the learning process offends the whole class who should otherwise be benefiting from the teacher’s effort/time.

Strategies4. Have continuous motivation and evaluation.

Example: Make classroom recitations/activities lively, meaningful, purposeful, profitable and relevant. Relate lesson/activities and real life situations.

• Review, making recitations lively.• Be lively yourself, exuding enthusiasm, sincerity, and

life.• Encourage creative, critical thinking.• Encourage self-expression, confidence, creativity.
