  7. Classroom managementWhat to do #1 • Start your classroom management at the very beginning with catching posters on the walls.

  8. What to do #2 • Be clear with your expectations. • Make sure all the kids know exactly what they should do. • Explanations are needed. • Examples and non-examples should be given. • Tell them what conversation level they should be on. Conversation Levels • Level 0 : No Talking • Level 1: Whisper/Low Voice (Only your partner can hear you.) • Level 2: Conversation (Only your group can hear you.) • Level 3: Presentation (The whole class can hear you.) • Level 4: Stadium.

  9. What to do #3 • Be consistent with your instructions. • If you tell the kids to do something, you should monitor their performance. • Anything wrong should be corrected right away. Otherwise, they would think what they are doing is all right. • Good behaviors should be rewarded for positive reinforcement.

  10. What to do #4 • Let students take the responsibility for their behaviors. • There should be a poster of behavior control with several specific levels from great to unacceptable. • The kids will come and move their clips up and down according to their current behavior, as the teacher suggests during class time.

  11. Classroom Management • Praising the appropriate behavior of students acting positively to redirect the inappropriate behavior of students acting negatively. (This is very hard for me. I like to go right to the source). • Don’t start off as a student teacher trying to be the students’ friend. The student will not show you respect when you want it. (Football story).

  12. Classroom Management • Mimic mentor teachers classroom management techniques. Also, use his/her behavior modification phrases like: • “My turn to talk and your turn to listen.” • “Eyes and attention please.” • “I’ll wait” • If it works for them it will work for you!!!

  13. Classroom Management • You have to set the tone for student behavior on the first day of school. If you don’t you will have to wait until the next school year to get it back • Follow through with what you say. No talking means no talking. (There has to be a consequence). • Can’t let yourself get caught up in the lesson or working with only one small group and not manage the behavior of the other groups. (It will get out of hand quickly)

  14. Classroom Management • Classroom management is its own full time job!!!

  15. Networking You should NOT… • Talk about other students • Talk about other staff members • Display how you feel about teaching on Facebook or any social media • Avoid Gossip

  16. Networking You should… • Talk to everyone • Ask questions • Learn good ideas • Stay professional • Attend in-services • Attend school functions • Participate • Meet new people • BE POSITIVE

  17. Making a Difference The important thing is not so muchthat every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish (WANT) to learn. ~John Lubbock~
