Management
1. Consistent, proactive discipline is the crux of
effective classroom management.
- To be consistent , we apply at all times established
rules and policies to all students regardless of
creed, color, economic status, and academic
standing in class.
- A proactive approach to discipline prevents
unnecessary disciplinary problems from cropping
up.

4. 2. Establish routines for all daily tasks and needs.
- Routines saves you a lot of time.
- Doyle says “ Routilization makes
classroom activities less susceptible
to breakdowns and interruptions
because students know the normal
sequence of events what is expected
of them” (Ornstein, p.96)
3. Orchestrate smooth transitions and continuity
of momentum through out the day.
- Smooth transitions prevent unnecessary lull in
classroom activities.

5. 4. Strike a balance between variety and challenge
in students’ activities.
- Strike the golden mean between extremely easy
and extremely difficult activities.
5. As class room manager, be aware of all actions
in the classroom.
- “Have eyes on the back of your heads”. Be aware
of what is happening in the classroom.
- Effective classroom management skills include
the use the use of space, proximity or movement
for nearness to trouble spots and to encourage
attention.

6. 6. Resolve minor inattention and disruption
before they become major disruptions.
- Respond to inappropriate behavior promptly.
7. Reinforce positive behavior.
- Reinforce positive behaviors with genuine
praise that must be given according to merit.
- It’s our way of appreciating and recognizing
hard work and good behavior.
8. Treat minor disturbance calmly.
- “do not make a mountain out of a mole”.

7. 9. Work out a physical arrangement of chairs
that facilitates an interactive teaching-learning
process.
- Come up with a physical arrangement that
allows maximum interaction.
10. Make good use of every instructional
moment. Minimize discipline time to maximize
instructional time.
- Minimize discipline time to have more time for
instruction/lessons.
