(Jere Brophy and Thomas Good 1984)

CLASSROOM DISPLAYS

(Marlynn K. Clayton 2001)

2. Creating Classroom Routines and Procedure.

3. Guiding and directing classroom activities

Dont ever ask children to do nothing. When children arent sure what they are supposed to be doing or they are waiting for you to tell them what to do, they will come up with something to do, and in most cases, this will be something you dont particularly want them to do.
(Deborah Diffily and Charlotte)

A well-managed classroom is a task oriented and predictable environment.

HARRY WONG 1998

Approaches to Classroom Management 1. Assertive Approach 2. Business Academic Approach 3. Group Guidance Approach 4. Acceptance Approach

Remember;
1. Effective classroom management is not about rewards and punishments. The key to effective classroom management is keeping students actively in the entire lesson. 2. Teachers are like salesmen. If students dislike you and your product, they will not buy from you.
3. When students experience success, they raise their goals; after failure, they lower them. Success builds ones self-esteem. A wise teacher must accentuate the positive. 4. When you show students that you confidently expect them to do well, you raise their aspiration levels and self-esteem. 5. But students must understand that if they misbehave or neglect their work, they must suffer the consequence. Misbehavior deserves disciplinary measures.
