Classroom management

 Classroom management is a term teachers use

to describe the process of ensuring that
classroom lessons run smoothly
without disruptive behavior from students
compromising the delivery of instruction.
Classroom management refers to the wide
variety of skills and techniques that teachers use
to keep students organized, orderly, focused,
attentive, on task, and academically productive
during a class.
 THE GOALS OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The main aim of classroom management is to maintain a positive, productive

learning environment.
The access to learning:
1) Each classroom activity has its own rules for participation. Sometimes
these rules are clearly stated by the teacher. For instance, the rules
defining who can talk, what they can talk about when and to whom they
can talk, and how long they can talk are often called participation
structures.

2) The participation structures they learn at home in interactions with siblings,

parents and other adults do not match the participation structures of school
activities.
 More time for learning

 Students can only learn what they encounter. Almost every study examining
time and learning has found a significant relationship between time spent on
content and student learning.

 One important goal of classroom management is to expand the sheer number

minutes available for learning. This is called allocated time.

 The way students process information is a central factor in what they learn and
remember. Time spent actively involved in specific learning tasks often is
called engaged time, or sometimes time on task.

 When students are working with a high rate of success that time is called as
academic learning time. So, the second goal of classroom management is to
increase academic learning time by keeping students engaged in appropriate
learning activities
Management for self-management :
 The third goal of any management system is to help students become
better able to manage themselves.

 Any complex learning structures such as cooperative or problem-

based learning require student self-management

 Tom Savage says simply, “the most fundamental purpose of discipline

is the development of self-control.”

 Students learn self-control by making choices and dealing with the

consequences, setting goals and priorities, managing time,
collaborating to learn, mediating disputes and making peace.
