Classroom Management

How do I manage student behavior to maximize instructional time?

~Harry Wong

One of the greatest gifts a caring teacher can contribute to children is to help them learn to sit when they feel like running, to raise their hand when they feel like talking,to be polite to their neighbor, to stand in line without pushing, and to do their homework when they feel like playing. By introducing procedures in the classroom,you are also introducing procedures as a way of living a happy and successful life.

• Has a discipline plan that does not degrade students.

• Makes good eye contact• Provides a copy of the plan for each student.• Enforces the rules consistently.• Has learned how to discipline with the body, not with the mouth.• Teaches students the concept of consequences and responsibility.• Has self-confidence and faith in his or her capabilities.
