classroom
A classroom is a learning space, a room in which both children and adults learn. Classrooms are found
in educational institutions of all kinds, from preschools to universities, and may also be found in other
places where education or training is provided, such as corporations and religious and humanitarian
organizations. The classroom attempts to provide a space where learning can take place uninterrupted by
outside distractions.
organization
An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has
a particular purpose
CLASSROOM ORGANISATION
All of the thing that a teacher does to organized students ,space, time and material so that instruction in
content and students learning take place
 Classroom organization, including the physical environment and structures and routines that
foster learning and encourage positive behaviour throughout the day
 Managing classroom materials and having a plan for their use is good classroom organization, or
the techniques teachers use to keep their classrooms humming smoothly along. .
Classroom management or organization refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers
use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during
a class.
ELEMENT OF CLASSROOM ORGANISATION
Those points which are totally focus on classroom setting and related to the classroom environment
called element of classroom organization
organization in the classroom is actually a mixture of elements that enable success. These elements are
1. the physical setup of the room
2. class management
3. creating a positive learning environment,
Implementing these aspects of organization is a best teaching practice that leads to optimal success for
the teacher and the students.
1.Physical setup of the classroom
The physical set-up of a classroom is important because it is the first thing a student sees when they
walk in. 1
 Factors such as unorganized bookshelves, unruly and random (student) desk patterns, and excess
clutter can all make a difference… and not for the better. If the room is disorderly and unkempt,
it reflects badly on the educator. A messy, (physically) unorganized classroom also creates a
sense of instability. It is important to not only keep a tidy classroom, but to appropriately utilize
space as well.
 Furniture arrangements, location of materials, displays, and fixed elements are all part of
organization. Effective teachers decorate the room with student work, they arrange the furniture
to promote interaction as appropriate, and they have comfortable areas for working . They also
consider student needs in arranging the room by leaving space so students can access materials
with minimal disturbance to others; and organizing in such a way as to allow the teacher to
freely move around the room to monitor student progress
 A key factor in determining how to set up a classroom is the age group of the students. When
considering how to set up a classroom for elementary students, it is wise to have a more open
environment where there is room for low-key activities, such as sitting in a circle on the floor
during story time or show and tell. On the other hand, when considering how to set up a
classroom for secondary students, room for activities is not as important.
 creating a set-up that is conducive to discussion among the class should be heavily considered. It
is important for students to be able to not only learn from the teacher but from each other as
well.
 Another aspect to consider when creating the classroom set-up that often gets overlooked is the
teacher’s desk/work space. A teacher’s desk says a lot about them since it is their personal
space. If it is untidy, cluttered, and overly secluded from the rest of the room, it will make it
hard for students to feel comfortable approaching the teacher during independent work time with
questions,
2. Class management
Effective class management is vital to having a classroom run smoothly. If an instructor cannot stay on
task and apply adequate management to their classroom, then chances are they will not be successful in
applying their curriculum either.
 establishing set rules and routines,
 addressing potential disciplinary actions,
 developing relationships with and among students,
 administering engaging education
Although effective class management is necessary in keeping a classroom organized and running
smoothly, it is also important to maintain a personable disposition in doing so. This leads into creating a
positive learning environment.
2.1 rules:
develop rules that fostrer respect,caring and community in your classroom. Make your expectations for
behavior clear at the beginning of the year by reviewing these rule with students .Continue to reinforce
your rules throughout the course and post them in a visible location
2.2 .Decipline 2
Classroom rules must have concrete consequences. Students will test the limitations of each teacher
from the very first day of school. Be firm, fair and consistent. Begin by warning a student and having
them confirm their knowledge of the classroom rules. Follow-up continued disruption by issuing
demerits, detention, or other official reprimands. Never, hit, harass, embarrass or yell at students-this is
counterproductive and unprofessional
2.3 Routine
... Keep your class in order by staying on time and on task. Do classwork during class time, leaving
plenty of room for in-class assignments. Cramming work and instruction too close to other activities can
lead to disruptive behavior and poor comprehension. There should be space before and after every room
change, lunch, and recess for students to settle down. Having a regular daily schedule helps you and
your kids prepare for upcoming tasks. Be firm but fair with due dates. Always leave room for
extenuating circumstances. Never leave room for procrastination.
3. Creating a positive learning environment
Creating a positive learning environment is a key to success in the classroom that often gets undermined.
Educators have to present themselves in a way that shows that they not only care about what they are
teaching, but that they care about who they are teaching to as well. It is proven that if a teacher creates a
positive learning environment, they also develop an efficient classroom setting alongside an emotional
setting that boosts student performance
one way to create a positive learning environment is to encourage student engagement
 Overall, having a student-oriented classroom is the best way to manifest a positive learning
environment
 The atmosphere of a positive learning environment is crucial in letting students know they are in
an organized classroom setting. The physical set-up of the classroom plays a role in it. .
Impact/outcomes of various kinds of classroom organisation on students behaviour
By successfully managing a classroom, can increase student success and create a productive and
cooperative learning environment. Effective behavior management plans allow students to get the most
out of their time spent in school and ensure that you maintain your sanity. While many fail to recognize
it, learning to behave can be just as important as learning the academic lessons taught in school.
a) Clear and consisting standard of behaviour
By establishing clear and consistent standards of behaviour teachers can ensure that their classes are
organized and productive, and that students do not have the opportunity to engage in fights or inflict
harm on another student. Additionally, by punishing students who name call or are disrespectful to
others, teachers reduce the likelihood that verbal conflicts will escalate and become physical.
b) Positive Class Environment Building
Students work more productively, and share more openly, when there is a positive classroom
environment. Through behavior management, teachers can create an atmosphere of mutual respect in
which all classroom participants feel safe to share their options without risk of censure. Without
classroom management, students will likely feel that they are not free to speak their mind or participate,
as their peers may make them feel unwelcome or unworthy.
c) More Teaching Time
Time spent dealing with continuous behavioral interruptions is time taken away from teaching. By
setting up clear behavior expectations and consequences at the beginning of the year, teachers can create
a fluid and productive class in which time is spent engaging in educational activities, not responding to
student misbehaviors.
d) Relationship Building
Through effective classroom management, teachers can build healthy and mutually respectful
relationships with their students, and allow students to build these positive relationships with their peers.
Effective classroom management ensures that students interact appropriately, allowing for them to
create and strengthen relationships.
e) Preparation for Workforce
Many students eagerly look forward to adulthood, thinking that they will be free of the restrictive rules
and guidelines that they follow in school daily. However, as any adult knows, succeeding in the adult
world is all about following rules. To be a productive citizen, you must follow laws, abide by workplace
restrictions and follow community regulations. Classroom rules help prepare students to successfully
follow the rules that will dictate their actions later in life.
f ) Modification in behavior
Students will learn which behaviors are acceptable and expected in each specific location in the
classroom. For example, when in the classroom library, students need to be quiet, but while in the
classroom play area, students are allowed to talk.
Classroom activity for managing learning
i) Model ideal behavior:
Demonstrate behavior you want to see by holding mock
Conversations and interactions with another teacher in front of your students.
ii) Document rules:
Ensure your guidelines aren’t forgotten by writing them down and
distributing them as a list for students to keep and reference.
iii) Avoid punishing the class:
Address isolated behavior issues instead of punishing the entire class, so as to avoid hurting your
relationships with on-task students.
iv) Encourage initiative:
Promote growth mindset by allowing students to work ahead in certain units, delivering brief
presentations to reinforce your lesson material.
V) Offer praise:
Recognize hard work by openly congratulating students, encouraging idea behavior and inspiring the
class, it create a competition and intrest among students to do best.
vi Use non-verbal communication:
Complement words with actions and visual aids to improve content delivery, helping students focus and
process lessons.
vii) Hold parties:
Throw an occasional classroom party to acknowledge students’ hard work, motivating them to keep it
up.
ix) Give tangible rewards:
Reward specific students at the end of each lesson, in front of the class, as another motivational and
behavior-reinforcement technique.
x) Make positive letters and phone calls: Make positive phone calls and send
complimentary letters home, possibly encouraging parents to further involve themselves
in their children’s learning.
xi) Assign open-ended projects:
Encourage students to tackle open-ended projects to allow them to demonstrate knowledge in ways that
suit and appeal to them.
Xii Utilization of A.V aids:
Used modern audio visual aid as projector etc to realize the students with modern technology
It can be adopted and used in lectures to encourage students to participate, think,to speak and to interact
