Components of an Effective Approach in
           Classroom Management
1. Avoiding Behavior Problem
         Classroom management uses good group techniques that keep
    the group on task and functioning.

         Classroom management includes using certain skills to keep
    individual students involved in productive work.

2. Solving Behavior Problem
          Effective classroom management includes techniques for
     solving the behavior problem of students who don’t respond to
     techniques that generally keep the group functioning smoothly and
     most students involved in productive work.

3. Fostering Growth
          Teacher may be strict but not arbitrary and authoritarian.

         Classroom management includes creating a positive classroom
    environment that enhances student’s personal growth.
Approaches in avoiding behavioral
                     problem
1. Demonstrate care. Motivate students to want to behave
2. Establish procedure for handling potentially disruptive situation
3. Establish enforceable rules and enforce them
4. Communicate regularly and clearly with students
5. Be consistent and persistent
6. Confront misbehavior forcefully but positively
7. Model desirable behavior
8. Comment only on the behavior, that is, reject the behavior without
   rejecting the students
9. Invoke consequences in a calm, matter - of - fact manner
10.Provide ample opportunities for students to experience success and
   receive recognition
11.Organize learning activities to avoid boredom and wasted time
12.Teach students to make appropriate behavior choices
13.Circulate around the classroom and monitor progress to keep focused on
   learning.
Classroom Environment that Motivates
                      Students
               (Creating environments that match students’ needs)



                 Interpersonal Relationship
   Set up the classroom environment such that the student-
student/teacher-student relationship is similar to that at home.

                                  Structure

      In school, the teacher should be a little flexible and
       democratic, like at home, in assigning work to do.


                                      Task
   Make lessons easier and motivating like doing it in the form of
   academic games, simulation, magic, drama, presentation, etc.
4 steps for Better Classroom
                    Management

Step 1: REMINDER
          This is a reminder and not a reprimand.

Step 2: WARNING
         This is a reprimand. The student is approached. It may be
         either verbal or written.

Step 3: INFRACTION SLIP
          The warning slip will be turned to the office.

Step 4: SEND TO OFFICE
          the students is removed from the class. A special time out slip
or referral form is filled out and sent with the student.
Techniques That Backfire
• Raising one's voice                 • Making unsubstantiated accusations
• Yelling                             • Mimicking the student
• Using physical force                • Throwing a temper tantrum
• Using tense body                    • Commanding, demanding ,
• Using degrading, insulting,           dominating
  embarrassing words                  • Rewarding the student
• Insisting on having the last word   • Holding a grudge
• Having a double standard (do what I • Saying “I am the boss”
  say, not what I do)                 • Using sarcasm
• Attacking the student’s character   • Acting superior
• Preaching
• Backing a student’s into a corner
Questions to Ask in Resolving Most
               Behavior Problems

Whose Problem?

1. Evaluate your perception
   • Most teachers assume that the causes of the
       behavioral problems are the students.
   • Teacher intolerance could be the culprit. This depends
       on one’s background.
   • Teacher’s perception could be wrong. Get a second
       opinion.
   • Consult student’s parents.
When to intervene?

1.   Immediate Action when…

     •     Dangerous and harmful behavior
     •     Destructive behavior
     •     Behavior that can get worse
     •     Self-perpetuating

2.   Delayed action when

     •     One do not have all the facts
     •     Timing is wrong
           a. Insufficient time
           b. Disruptive effect of intervening
           c. The student is too upset to deal with their behavior.
           d. When sensitive to expose themselves publicly and getting
               embarrass.
