Classroom management may improve or break a classroom environment. Classroom management systems function because they create an organized learning environment that improves students' academic skills and competencies, as well as their social and emotional growth. According to American Psychological Association "Effective classroom management: Establishes and sustains an orderly environment in the classroom, increases meaningful academic learning and facilitates social and emotional growth, and decreases negative behaviors and increases time spent academically engaged.Setting classroom norms, boundaries, and expectations can help children thrive while avoiding chaos. Students need some basic structure and consistency to feel safe and to focus.
1.BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
Teacher effectiveness and student achievement are both impacted by student-teacher relationships. A student's motivation to listen, learn, and achieve increases when they feel respected, cared for, and connected to their teacher. Learning becomes difficult when students do not feel safe or valued in the classroom. Students who feel connected to their teachers, on the other hand, are more likely to succeed.
2. SETting RULES, BOUNDARIES, AND EXPECTATIONS
As previously stated, children require some basic structure and consistency in order to feel safe and focused. Classroom rules are established to teach students how to act in a proper and safe manner in the classroom, thereby improving student learning. Teachers can keep class routines and student expectations for classwork and behavior by establishing classroom rules and procedures. Clear and visible classroom rules and procedures help students understand what is and is not acceptable, as well as the consequences of breaking the rules.
3. taking A STRENGTH-BASED APPROACH
Strengths-based education is a learner-centered teaching approach that assists students in identifying, articulating, and applying individual skills that are relevant to their learning needs. Even when it's inconvenient, it means never forgetting to look beneath the surface of behavior. It entails locating the source of the issue, no matter how difficult it may be.
4. Personal health
We must know ourselves to be a good teacher, as I've heard many times this semester. It is necessary for us to look after ourselves. You must be healthy in order for students to learn effectively. Investing in your own self-care can help you improve your executive function, empathy, and resilience—all of which will help you make better decisions in the classroom.
5. Parent/teacher relationships
Parents, guardians, and caregivers want to hear that you see their child's positive qualities. In the classroom, having a positive relationship with your parents can be very beneficial. Giving parents a sense of belonging can help with classroom management. It is critical that parents are involved and aware of what is going on in order to provide support and reinforcement at home.
As a gymnastics coach I have implemented all of these principles into my coaching. I take pride in the coach I am today but know I am still learning and growing. I would love to hear your thoughts on classroom management.
