PRINCIPLES IN CLASSROOM MANAGMENT
Below is a list of principles on classroom management backed up by research as cited by James H. Stronge in his books "Qualities of Effective Teachers" (2002).
Consistent, proactive discipline is the crux of effective classroom management.
If we are proactive in our approach to discipline we prevent unnecessary disciplinary problems from copping up. To be consistent in our classroom managment, we apply at all times established rules and policies to all pupiles/students regardless of creed, color, economic status , academic standing in class. We do not say this and do another. That will be a blow to our credibility.
Establish routines for all daily tasks and needs.
Routinized collection of assignments, passing of papers, and preparation for experiments saves a lot of time and effrot. They have become habitual for each member of the class. Students/ pupils already know what to do and under what confition. Routine procedures give rise to orderly learning environment and maximum and optimum use of precious time.
As classroom manager, be aware of all actions and activities in the classroom.
Our heightened awareness of everyhting that is happening in our classroom puts our pupils and students on their toes all the time. While our back faces them when we write on the board, our "eyes on the back of our heads" will make our pupils and students feel that we know what they are doing. This is what Kounin call with-it-ness.
Reinforce postive behavior.
Be generous with genuine praise. For our praise to be genuine it must be given according to merit. It is our ways of apppreaciating and recognizing hard work and good behavior .
Work out a physical arrangement of chairs that facilitates an interactive teaching-learning process.
There is no doubt that external environment affects us. Let us work for a flexible seating arrangement where we can re arrange seats or deask to suit our learning needs and conditions.
