Managing the Classroom What are the differences between a

activities are to be done in the classroom/school. A rule sets
limits to guide behavior and provides consequences, positive or
negative.

establish and maintain in your classroom. Stand in front of your
designated poster with your assigned group. When the instructor

how you could establish this routine in your classroom. After 1

and write about the next routine.

Slide 17
Procedures and Room Arrangement An important component in
successful classroom management is arranging the physical setting
for teaching to support the procedures you have in your classroom.
Effective room arrangement can help you cope with the complex
demands of teaching 20 to 30 students in your classroom.
Slide 18
Five Keys to Effective Room Arrangement Design your classroom
to reflect your personality and instructional style and needs of
the students. Keep high traffic areas free of congestion. Arrange
students where they can be easily seen by the teacher. Place
frequently used teaching materials and student supplies where they
are readily accessible. Place displays and instructional materials
where they can be easily seen by the students.
Slide 19
Room Arrangement The most important feature of room arrangement
is not where the furniture goes, but, rather, where it does not go.
(Jones, 2000)

Slide 23
Common Misconceptions Concerning Classroom Rules (Jones, 1996)
Students should know how to behave by this time. Rules are
announced. If you do a good job with your rules at the beginning of
the year, you will not have to deal with them later. Teaching rules
is a matter of being strict. Students dislike classroom rules. I
have so much material to cover, I cant afford two weeks for
rules.
Slide 24
Important Considerations Rules should: Be specific, to the
point, and consistent with established school rules. Be written,
using positive language. Be limited to 3 - 5 in number. Be posted
with the consequences.
Slide 25
Take-Away As you review the important considerations about
rules, add two rules to the Managing My Classroom section of your
tri-fold that you will implement in your classroom.
Slide 26
Building Relationships The quality of teacher-student
relationships is the keystone for all other aspects of classroom
management. (Marzano and Marzano, Dimensions of Learning)
