The document provides strategies for effective classroom management organized into 15 techniques called "The Fab 15". It discusses establishing clear expectations and procedures, being fair and consistent with students, using positive reinforcement, thorough lesson planning, maximizing instruction time through smooth transitions, keeping rules and instructions simple, proactively monitoring student behavior, using proximity and body language to communicate, understanding why students misbehave, and addressing issues privately to avoid power struggles. The document emphasizes the importance of classroom management for student learning and teacher satisfaction.
Classroom management. Teachers play various roles in a typical classroom, but surely one of the most important is that of classroom manager. Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior, chaos becomes the norm.
I held various headships and advisory, consultancy posts in the primary and secondary education systems.
I use this PowerPoint in my whole school training across the UK. In coaching middle managers and leadership teams in establishing positive behaviour in their school.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

– It’s being prepared for class
– It’s motivating your students
– It’s providing a safe, comfortable
learning environment
– It’s building your students’ self
esteem
– It’s being creative and imaginative
in daily lessons
– And . . .
5. . . . It’s different for
EVERYONE!!
WHY?
– Teaching Styles
– Personality/Attitudes
– Student population
– Not all management
strategies are effective for
every teacher
• Try different strategies to see if
they work for you
8. SELF ASSESSMENT
• Fist-to-Five…Where are you with classroom
management?
• A fist indicates you are still thinking?
• One finger indicates extremely frustrated.
• Two fingers indicates frustrated.
• Three fingers indicates that you are
surviving.
• Four fingers indicates that you are pretty
comfortable and things are working well.
• Five fingers indicates that your classroom
runs smoothly with very few issues. What
are you doing here??
9. Why is Classroom
Management Important?
• Satisfaction and enjoyment in
teaching are dependent upon
leading students to cooperate
• Classroom management issues
are of highest concern for
beginning teachers
• Classroom management and
effective instruction are key in
ensuring student success and
learning
12. YOU SET THE TONE
• Set the tone for everything…behavior,
procedures, grades, work ethic,
attitude…everything!!
• Teach students to manage their own
behavior
• Students LEARN to be on-task and engaged
in the learning activities you have planned
for them…REMEMBER THIS…
“It is more natural to be off-task than on!”
• Teach, teach, and re-teach routine
classroom procedures
• Model/provide exemplars for excellence in
student work and attitudes
13. FAB 15…NUMBER 2
I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU HAVE HEARD
THIS A MILLION TIMES..
14. FFC
• Be fair, firm and
consistent…remember that
students are, by nature, the
morality police.
• They can spot inconsistencies a
mile away and take joy in calling
you out on it!!

consequences of inappropriate
behavior but they will respect your
decisions if they know that you are
fair and apply
discipline/consequences fairly
16. POSITIVE IS A PLUS
• Build a positive, PROFESSIONAL
rapport with students
• Establish a positive classroom
environment…greet students at
the door everyday with a smile
• Model the positive behaviors and
attitude you desire in your
students
17. FAB 15…NUMBER 4
“IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PLAN,
THEN YOU ARE PLANNING TO
FAIL!!”
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
18. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN
• Planning engaging, purposeful
lessons is one of the best recipes for
a smooth, orderly classroom
• Over plan your lessons to minimize
down time…down time is every
teacher’s worst enemy
• Plan lessons that address multiple
learning styles and allow all students
to experience success
20. BE PREPARED!!
• Be organized
• Be on time
• Be prepared for changes to your
even the “best laid plans”
• Have a plan B
• Have a plan C
• Anticipate possible hiccups in your
lessons and activities
• In other words…winging it is not an
option!!
22. DEVELOP EFFECTIVE
BEHAVIOR CUES
• Focus attention on entire class
• Don’t talk over student chatter
• Silence can be effective
• Use softer voice so students
really have to listen to what
you’re saying
• Raise your hand
24. Transition vs. Allocated
Time
• Allocated time: the time periods you intend
for your students to be engaged in learning
activities
• Transition time: time periods that exist
between times allocated for learning
activities
– Examples
• Getting students assembled and
attentive
• Assigning reading and directing to
begin
• Getting students’ attention away from
reading and preparing for class
discussion
25. Transition vs. Allocated
Time
• The Goal:
– Increase the variety of
learning activities but
decrease transition time.
• Student engagement and on-
task behaviors are dependent
on how smoothly and efficiently
teachers move from one
learning activity to another
27. KEEP IT SIMPLE SUGAR
• Make classroom rules simple
• Keep classroom procedures
simple
• Give clear and simple
instructions during classroom
activities
• Remember that even adults can
only process 3-4 instructions at
a time effectively!!
29. CLASSROOM ARRANGEMENT
• Make sure all students can see
and hear clearly (and you can
see them clearly)
• Arrangement is determined by
learning activity (lecture, class
discussion, small group work,
etc.)
• Allow room and easy access for
proximity control
• Think through class procedures
and learning activities and
arrange the room in the best
possible way
32. A teacher has “with-it-ness” if:
• When discipline problems occur, the
teacher consistently takes action to
suppress the misbehavior of exactly
those students who instigated the
problem
• When two discipline problems arise
concurrently, the teacher deals with
the most serious first
• The teacher decisively handles
instances of off-task behavior before
the behaviors either get out of hand
or are modeled by others
33. With-it-Ness (continued)
• When handling misbehavior –
make sure all students learn
what is unacceptable about
that behavior
• Getting angry or stressed does
not reduce future misbehavior
• Deal with misbehavior without
disrupting the learning activity
35. PROXIMITY AND BODY LANGUAGE
• Eye contact, facial expressions,
gestures, physical proximity to
students, and the way you carry
yourself will communicate that
you are in calm control of the
class and mean to be taken
seriously.
• Be free to roam
• Avoid turning
back to class
36. DEVELOP EFFECTIVE
BEHAVIOR CUES
• Focus attention on entire class
• Don’t talk over student chatter
• Silence can be effective
• Use softer voice so students
really have to listen to what
you’re saying
• Raise your hand
38. PROACTIVE VS. REACTIVE
• The best teachers use all of the Fab
15 strategies already mentioned and
more to ensure that their classroom
runs like a well-oiled machine.
• By using proactive teaching and
classroom management strategies,
more time is spent on teaching and
learning and less on reacting and
putting out fires.
• Being proactive means paying it
forward before class starts but
receives huge dividends in the end!!
40. USING HUMOR
• Use humor when appropriate
• Be able to laugh at yourself
• NEVER use sarcasm
• Sarcasm puts students on the
defensive and damages your
relationship
42. EVERY PERFORMER
NEEDS A STAGE
• Confrontation gives students a
“stage” to perform
• Avoid power struggles…no one
wins
• Give students a dignified way
to get out of a bad situation
• Pick your battles
• Address behavior issues in
private whenever possible
44. IT IS NOT PERSONAL
• Kids make poor choices…that is
what they do!
• Kids misbehave…that is their job!
• Kids test boundaries and limits…it is
a natural part of growing up!
• Kids don’t always do what we want
them to…no matter how much they
like us!
• DON’T TAKE IT PERSONNALY!!
46. Functions of Behavior
• Every behavior has a function
• Four primary reasons for
disruptive behavior in the
classroom
– Power
– Revenge
– Attention
– Want to be left alone (i.e.,
disinterest or feelings of
inadequacy)
47. Functions of Behavior
• Many misbehaviors exhibited by
students are responses to a behavior
exhibited by the teacher
• Do not tolerate undesirable
behaviors no matter what the excuse
• Understanding why a person exhibits
a behavior is no reason to tolerate it
• Understanding the function of a
behavior will help in knowing how to
deal with that behavior
48. Dealing with off-task
behaviors
• Remain focused and calm; organize
thoughts
• Either respond decisively or ignore it all
together
• Distinguish between off-task behaviors
and off-task behavior patterns
• Control the time and place for dealing
with off-task behavior
• Provide students with dignified ways to
terminate off-task behaviors
• Make specific references to behaviors,
do not make it a personal attack
49. Dealing with off-task
behaviors
• Remember that continuing with
classroom instruction is always
the main priority!!
• Avoid playing detective
• Utilize alternative lesson plans
• Utilize the help of colleagues
• Communicate and enlist the
help of parents/guardians
50. Power Seeking Behavior
• Power-seeking students
attempt to provoke
teachers into a struggle of
wills
• In most cases, the teacher
should direct attention to
other members of the class
51. Attention Seeking Behavior
• Attention-seeking students
prefer being punished,
admonished, or criticized to
being ignored
• Give attention to this student
when he or she is on-task and
cooperating
• “Catch them being good!” – and
let them know you caught them
