12 steps teachers can take at the beginning of the year to promote effective classroom management.
- Develop a set of written expectations you can live with and enforce.
- Be consistent. Be consistent. Be consistent.
- Be patient with yourself and with your students.
- Make parents your allies. Call early and often. Use the word "concerned." When communicating a concern, be specific and descriptive.
- Don't talk too much. Use the first 15 minutes of class for lectures or presentations, then get the kids working.
- Break the class period into two or three different activities. Be sure each activity segues smoothly into the next.
- Begin at the very beginning of each class period and end at the very end.
- Don't roll call. Take the roll with your seating chart while students are working.
- Keep all students actively involved. For example, while a student does a presentation, involve the other students in evaluating it.
- Discipline individual students quietly and privately. Never engage in a disciplinary conversation across the room.
- Keep your sense of perspective and your sense of humor.
- Know when to ask for help.
