This document provides strategies and best practices for developing effective classroom management. It discusses defining classroom management as creating a positive learning environment through preventing and addressing inappropriate behavior. Several key strategies are outlined, including being positive by giving 10 positive comments for every negative one, turning negatives into positives in interactions with students, knowing your students and differentiating instruction, and establishing clear expectations, consequences, and feedback without intimidating students. The document also covers practical elements like classroom setup, lesson preparation, and using humor without putting students down. The overall message is that teachers can create the learning environment they want through preventative strategies and positive reinforcement of appropriate behavior.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Developing Effective Behaviour and
Classroom Management Strategies

2. A Definition of Classroom
Management
Classroom management is a method by which
a teacher creates a positive and productive
learning environment for his or her students
by preventing and effectively dealing with
inappropriate behaviour.
I believe the teacher has the ability to create
the learning environment they want if they
use the right strategies.
3. Be Positive: Reflection on the times article
(starter)
Research has shown that children receive 10 negative comments
to every positive one
Give positive attention
Some students are so starved for attention they
don’t care what kind of behaviour they display
It is easier and more dependable to get
attention from negative behaviour
Which students get most of your
attention in your lessons?
4. Practical Strategy: Turn negatives into positives
(avoid questions, confrontations and manage conflict)
“Why are you late?”
Harry, that’s not normally like you to be late, your normally on time? I’d like you
to make every effort to get here earlier next week, as I don’t want you to
miss out on any aspects of the lesson.
“Why aren’t you working?”
Billy, I was really impressed with your homework
last week. I’d like you to focus on what you are
doing as I’m sure you can reproduce that
standard in lesson time.
“Will you stop talking?”
Fred, I spoke to your Mum last week and mentioned
how pleased I was with your improved attitude in class,
now don’t let me down by chatting.
5. Classroom Management
How should you organise the classroom?
How do you prepare a lesson to maintain good
classroom management?
How can you improve the relationship
between you and your students?
How do you actually teach?
6. The classroom
Classroom environment and temperature
Seating arrangements and seating plans
Physical layout
ICT
Litter
Sitting up, space to work, bags, dress code
Chewing gum
School Expectations
Appropriate displays (students work)
7. Lesson preparation and
structure
You have to be organised and ready to teach
Start of the lesson: can you arrive before the bell?
Starter activity: (if behaviour is a problem avoid getting students to stand)
Matching the content to the ability of the students: challenge, variety, pace,
enthuse
Avoid too many transitions
Register when students are on task (in the middle of the lesson)
Homework: set and collect in the middle of the lesson (combine 2 homeworks
where possible)
Use AfL and give appropriate marking and feedback
End of lesson (timing) Do not keep the whole class back
8. Students
Know your students
–
–
–

Names
Strengths and weaknesses
Interests
Needs
Differentiate instructions and time to act
Be Switched on
Monitor the students, move around but think about where you are standing
Build professional relationships: be honest, set high standards, don’t be mates
Participate and support: extra-curricular activities: music, drama, sport, the arts, etc
Withitness: Be sharp, swithced on and be aware
(mobile phones, on task, doing other work, writing notes to each other)
(Humour)
9. Why students don’t do what you want them to
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
They don’t know what to do.
They don’t know how to do it.
They don’t know why they should do it.
They aren’t suited or matched to the task.
There isn’t any consequence.
There isn’t any relevant feedback.
They get more attention by not doing it.
10. What do good motivators do?
1. Use novelty, mystery, puzzlement, and excitement to energise
their lessons.
2. Use colour, sound, movement, and student activity to attract and
hold attention.
3. Assign individual and group projects as a means of adding sense
of purpose to what is being learned.
4. State clear, reasonable expectations and requirements to avoid
confusion and enlist student cooperation.
5. Challenge and set high expectations
11. What good motivators don’t do
1. They don’t bore students with endless talking/instructions
2. They don’t confuse their students.
3. They don’t vacillate. (let mood affect how they treat them.)
4. They don’t frustrate their students.
5. They don’t intimidate their students.
6. They do not punish their students for failures or shortcomings.
7. They don’t use sarcasm, or put people down.
12. Practical Strategies
Sanctions at DGS
1. Speak clearly, quietly and calmly, have belief in what you are asking and
be almost perplexed at the thought the student may refuse to do what
you ask. Demand and set high standards for everything: Dress,
puntuality, politeness. Avoid confrontation, manage conflict.
2. Speak 1:1 (if possible – lesson content) always try to start the sanction
with a positive
3. Speak very clearly again stating fact: I have now spoken to you three
times. I’ve stated clearly what behaviour I expect. If I have to speak to
you again, you’ll need to see me after the lesson. (do not shout or even
raise voice)
4. That will be 5 mins off your break time.
5. This is not a discussion, or open to debate (if they answer back).
13. Practical Strategies
6. Hopefully student displays appropriate behaviour – speak to them and be
positive. Explain that the 5 mins can disappear if he/she continues to
show the correct behaviour. (equally state that the time can increase if
they continue to talk etc)
7. Take it up to 10 mins if necessary (extra work)- use HW diary
8. Hand out lunch time detention (15 – 30 mins)
9. Continual inappropriate behaviour – state that you will refer them for an
after school detention
10. Completely inappropriate behaviour (eg. Fighting, swearing at you) send
to reception
What helps: Contact immediately with parent by phone (I have just taught
Jimmy, and is behaviour was really disappointing. Is everything okay at
home, because he isn’t normally like this……)
Contact with form tutor. But try to deal with relatively minor issues yourself,
otherwise the student will pick up on you passing over control
