The document provides an overview of classroom management including definitions, models of effective classroom management, and strategies for managing disruptive behavior and bullying. It discusses three models of classroom management: interventionist, interactive, and non-interventionist. The interventionist model emphasizes teacher control while the non-interventionist model gives more autonomy to students. Effective behavior management requires understanding factors like student needs, consequences, and developing a structured classroom environment.
Managing the class is a great concern for teachers, especially the novice ones. This presentation provides an overview on important dimensions of classroom management.

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.

3. Classroom management is certainly concerned about
behavior, but it can also be defined more broadly as
involving the planning , organization, and control of
learners, the learning process and the classroom
environment to create a maintain an effective learning
experience in which expected pedagogical outcomes
achieved.
4. The ‘learning process’ includes classroom activities
and the teaching strategies that the teacher use.
The ‘classroom environment’ provides a context for
learning and includes not only the physical space,
furnishing resources and materials, but also the class
atmosphere, participant’s attitudes and emotions and
the social dynamics of the learning experience.
5. Doyle (1986,p, 394) suggested that teachers
face the following two main instructional
tasks;
A teaching goal that must be achieved
A problem space that must be managed,
encompassing the set of participants or learn
6. Definition of Behavior
management
Behavior management in the
classroom means creating and
maintaining an environment
conducive to their learning and
your sanity.
7. Doyle (1986) used the term
‘problematic’ to refer to any behavior
perceived as inappropriate for a given
activity.
Such behavior may range from
daydreaming and mild interruptions, to
unnecessary and excessive
movement, shouting, swearing, fightin
g and so on.
8. Disruptive behavior is when a child is
uncooperative and prevents
themselves and other children in
class from working.
A disruptive child also manages to
grab a teacher’s attention and
prevent the teacher from giving the
other children attention.
9. Disruptive behavior – behavior that is
problematic or inappropriate in the context of
a given activity or for a certain teacher.
Behavior disturbance – significant
abnormalities in the behavior of an individual
who does not have a diagnosable psychiatric
illness.
Emotional disturbance – evident from
inappropriate behaviors that require
psychiatric treatment in the form of ongoing
therapy.

of behaviors a particular student

- This uncertainty can also lead to
difficulties in finding an appropriate

20. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(1) The Interventionist Teacher
• Is guided by the view that children’s
development is an outcome of external
factors.
• Frederic H.Jones emphasizes the need for
teachers to maintain firm control through the
following four aspects of classroom
organization ( Wolfgang, 1995, p.197 ).
21. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(1) Limit setting through body
language
(2) Responsibility training
(3) Back-up system (supported by
policies at the school level)
(4) Classroom structure
22. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(1) Limit setting through body language
- (According to Jones), teachers need to set
limits on student’s behavior that are simple,
practical and, once mastered, easy to use.
- Response ( body language, and employ a
minimal number of words )
- Move around the classroom, eye contact.
23. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(2) Responsibility training
- Need a simple system to implement and that
ensured students will do anything the teacher
requires at any time.
- Responsibility training involves providing
incentives through a group reward, through
‘preferred activity time’ (PAT), or through
periods of free or play time .
24. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(2) Responsibility Training
- Do work quickly and fast (Winner)
- Dawdling , talking or playing up (Loser)
- According to Jones (1987), by using this
system, the teacher is in control and the
students learn to conform and to complete
required tasks.
25. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(3) Back-Up System
- Set of hierarchically ordered penalties for
misbehavior, ranging from a simple warning
given privately to an individual student or
group of students, to a conference with the
student, time out, detention, a conference
with a parent and, as a last resort, suspension
or expulsion.
26. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(3) Back-Up System
- Support is required at the school level, both
professionally and in the form of appropriate
policies, procedures and recourses to
implement this system.
27. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(4) Classroom Structure
- Encompasses the rules that are established in
classrooms, daily routines and the way
classroom furniture is organized, since all
affect what happens in a classroom.
- Jones (1987) argued that students should be
taught the rules, routines and standards of
behavior that are critical aspects of successful
classroom operation.
28. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(4) Classroom Structure
- Jones’s (1987) ideas about classroom
management included a plan for arranging
desks so as to allow the teacher space to
move around the classroom.

Management
(2) The Interactive Teacher
- Sees children’s development as a product of
interaction, between internal and external
factors.
- Alder was Viennese psychiatrist who argued
that human beings are essentially social
creatures whose basic psychological
characteristics enable them to live in
democratic way.
31. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
- Procedures that can be used to encourage
students include;
Recognizing and building on their strengths
while minimizing any weaknesses
Emphasizing engagements in an activity
rather than the result that is achieved
(Balson,1992).
32. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
For example:
‘You seem to really enjoy your art and I can
tell you work hard to prepare for your
exam’, rather than saying
‘ Your artwork is excellent and You have the
highest mark in the exam.

- In each case, the focus is on allowing students to experience the consequences of

34. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
(3) The Non-Interventionist Teacher
- Allow the process of development to occur
naturally.
- The work of William Glasser (1992) and William
(‘Bill) Rogers (1998) represents a model of
classroom management and discipline in which
power is shared more equally between teacher
and students than in the interventionist and
interactive approaches just discussed, with
greater weight on student’s roles and
responsibilities.
35. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
- Bill Rogers (1998) sees discipline as a teacher-
directed activity that seeks to;
Lead,
Guide,
Direct,
Manage,
Or confront a student about behavior that
disrupts the right of others.
36. Models of Effective Classroom
Management
- Glasser and Rogers have both argued that students
misbehave because schools fail to fulfill their basic
needs.
- These needs clearly reflecting elements of Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs, include;
Belonging:- security comfort and group membership
Power:- Importance, status, and being taken into
account by others
Freedom:- being free from the control of others, being
able to choose, being self directed and having
responsibilities for one’s own actions
Fun:- having satisfying and enjoyable experiences
37. Teachers as Leaders
• Glasser (1992) argued that teachers need to
become ‘lead-managers’ not ‘boss-manager’.
• To achieve this change, schools should provide
necessary tools which are curriculum and
resources and atmosphere (non coercive and
cooperative).

41. Definition of Bullying
Bullying is an abuse of power that takes the form
of on going aggression involving words or actions
by individual or groups and directed towards
particular victims who are unable to defend
themselves (Eisenberg,1998).
Bullies take advantage of situations whether they
can victimize others who may be physically
smaller, younger, less strong, outnumbered or
simply unable to defend themselves.

Research cited by Johnson and Johnson (1996)
