  3. A Well Managed Classroom has Four Observable Characteristics 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 Wong, H. K., Wong, R. T. (2001). How to Be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School. Mountain View, CA: Harry K. Wong, Publications, Inc.

  4. Characteristic #1 • High level of student involvement with work. • Effective: Students are working • Ineffective: Teacher is the only one working Wong, H. K., Wong, R. T. (2001). How to Be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School. Mountain View, CA: Harry K. Wong, Publications, Inc.

  5. Characteristic #2 • Clear student expectations • Effective: Students know assignments based on objective and know tests based on objectives • Ineffective: Teacher says, “Read chapter 3 and know all the material or you’ll fail the test and get an F in this class.” Goal:______ Why:________ Wong, H. K., Wong, R. T. (2001). How to Be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School. Mountain View, CA: Harry K. Wong, Publications, Inc.

  6. Characteristic #3 • Relatively little wasted time, confusion, or disruption • Effective: Teacher teaches behavioral expectations, starts class immediately, has assignments posted. • Ineffective: Teacher makes up rules and punishes according to his or her mood, takes roll and dallies, students asks for assignments repeatedly.

  7. Characteristic #4 • Work-oriented but relaxed and pleasant climate. • Effective: Teacher has invested time in practicing procedures until they become routines, knows how to bring class to attention, knows how to praise and encourage. • Ineffective: Teacher tells but does not rehearse procedures. Teacher yells and flicks light switch and uses generalized praise or none at all. Wong, H. K., Wong, R. T. (2001). How to Be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School.
