Manage Their Classroom

Students want a well-managed classroom more than the teachers do because it provides them with security in the classroom that is CONSISTENT. Classroom practices and procedures must be predictable and consistent.

What is Classroom Management?

Classroom management refers to all of the things a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so student learning can take place.

"The aim of educationis to provide children with a sense of purpose and a sense of responsibility and with skills and habits of thinking that will help them live in the world." (Alice Waters)

Biblical Perspective

Deutronomy 6:7
^"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Critical Reflection

1. Are your pupils putting a lot of effort into their work (student-centered learning)?

2. What is expected of your students? Do they know?

3. How often did you waste time during the session, which leads to misunderstandings or disturbances?

4. What was the classroom atmosphere like?

Characteristics of Effective Teachers

1. Students are working.

2. Students know that assessments and tests are based on objectives.

3. The teacher has procedures and routines, starts class immediately, and has an assignment posted.

4. The teacher has invested time in practicing procedures until they become routines, knows how to bring class to attention, and knows how to praise the deed and encourage the student.

How to Speak to the Class

1. Stand up when you address the class, and speak in short, clear sentences or phrases.

2. You do not need to speak loudly. Learn to "speak loudly" with your tone, not your volume.

3. Learn to use nonverbal language. A nod, a smile, stare, a frown, a raised eyebrow, or a gesture. Body language can speak volumes.
