TRAINING FOR TEACHERS
SUMMARY
This course provides teachers with the opportunity to develop their skills in the areas relating to
senior secondary school. It is useful for teachers who wanted to refresh their knowledge in this area
while improving their practical teaching skills. The training program applies a materials-
light approach and works on developing teachers skills in differentiating material for Young
Learners. The ultimate goal is to establish a classroom where students feel bonded and connected to
their teacher, where they are self-managers and good decision makers, and maximum time is
provided to achieve today's high standards.
This training program is designed for teachers but all teachers will benefit as they:
Examine classroom management strategies for senior secondary teachers with
experience of minimum 5years that will help launch rewarding careers.
Learn ways to bond and connect students to each other and to the teacher.
Observe procedures and routines that are rehearsed to promote self-managing students.
Understand why it is important to clearly define work requirements in holding students
accountable.
Realize how proactive classroom management is anticipating problems and minimizing
their impact on learning.
Understand how to create self-managers among students.
Consider why rights, respect, and responsibility are more productive than a list of rules.
INTRODUCTION
Teaching as a profession has undergone massive change in the last few decades. Adapting to these
changes, especially the technology to engage students has been a key challenge for educators. Our
training program “Classroom Management” enable teachers who have some teaching experience,
with technology tools and effective pedagogy techniques to make the teaching-learning experience
in the classroom effective and enjoyable. Our teacher training program focus on improving
classroom practice through the usage of technology, interactive teaching learning material,
classroom organization skills, lesson planning and appropriate teaching styles. Our customized
teacher training programmes focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools, so
that greater numbers of students achieve increasing levels of proficiency in the core academic
subjects of English, Mathematics and Science.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this training program is to investigate the extent to which new teachers get their
teaching deliver content and provide volunteer candidates with opportunities to practice their
knowledge about classroom management and enhanced classroom management standard. This
training program is not intended to tell teachers how they must teach but rather to provide
information and resources on effective classroom management techniques that they can use as to
examine and refine their own teaching.

PROGRAM CONTENT and METHODOLOGY
The Classroom Management training program is to strengthen teacher classroom management
strategies, and promote children’s pro-social behavior. It is divided into 2 full day workshops,
spread out with time in between each module workshop so that teachers have time to practice the
new skills they are learning. The program helps to reduce classroom aggression and non-
cooperation, and promote peer interaction, school readiness, and enjoyment with school activities. It
focuses on ways teachers can effectively collaborate with and support parents’ school involvement,
and promote home-to-school consistency.

Possible Classroom Management Challenges:
• Informal & untaught
• Reactive & ineffective
• Disconnected from Study
• Lack of staff fluency
• Lack of durability
• Lack of instructional fluency
MODULE 2: THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHER ATTENTION, COACHING AND
PRAISE
RULES: Teachers should develop a limited set of positively stated expectations for behavior. These
expectations should not simply be posted in the classroom; rather, they should be explicitly taught
by discussion and practice and applied transparently and equitably.
ROUTINES: Teachers should teach routines and procedures, including specific guidelines for how
to act in a variety of situations (e.g., arriving in the classroom, handing in homework, and working
in groups). These routines should be taught at the beginning of the school year and then revisited
periodically throughout the year. In turn, teachers should sustain momentum for instruction by
orchestrating the management of time and materials by themselves and students, especially in
transitions between activities.
PRAISE: Teachers should reinforce positive behavior using praise and other rewards. Intangible
rewards such as praise10 should be specific (e.g., “Good job finding your seat quickly,” “Great
work sharing your crayons,” “John, Neery, and Dominic all have their homework ready to turn in
— well done”) and abundant.11 Rewards also may be tangible (e.g., a prize like a sticker or pencil,
or a privilege like extra free time). Rewards can be used for individual or group behavior and may
be phased out over time as students’ behavior improves by habit. Praise can be used effectively and
appropriately Perhaps because using praise effectively is more complicated than simply telling a
student “Good job!,” it is frequently neglected in teacher preparation.
MISBEHAVIOR: Just as every parent learns that children will not always follow rules and has in
mind consequences for noncompliance, so, too, do teachers need to determine the appropriate
consequences for misbehavior and apply these consequences consistently. Consequences generally
follow different levels of severity, escalating to one-on-one conferences with the teacher,
detentions, meetings with parents or guardians, and so on.
ENGAGEMENT: This technique is closely linked to the quality of instruction. Teachers should
constantly engage students in the lesson, whether through creating an interesting lesson that holds
students’ attention or through building in frequent opportunities for student participation. Students
who are involved in the lesson generally have less inclination to act out.

Techniques for Better Classroom Control
• 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
• Direct your instruction so that students know what is going to happen
• Monitor groups of students to check progress
• Move around the room so students have to pay attention more readily
• Give students non-verbal cues
• Engage in low profile intervention of disruptions
• Make sure classroom is comfortable and safe
• Over plan your lessons to ensure you fill the period with learning activities
• Come to class prepared
• Show confidence in your teaching
• Learn student names as quickly as possible
A. Productive environment
Seating- Students are placed in seats where they can best learn science. (Easily
distracted students and needy students sit near the teacher.)
Organization- A system of procedures is in place and executed by students knowing
what to do when.
Planning- Teacher operates with a sense of purpose in the classroom.
Engaging- Students are engaged in the learning activity
B. Positive classroom atmosphere
Attribution- Students can recognize his/her strengths and operate with a can do attitude.
Encouragement- Teacher encourages students to meet challenges and exceed
expectations.
Collaboration- Students help each other to learn while participating in constructivist
learning activities.
C. Cooperative, respectful, and on task students
Cooperation- Students are following the class guidelines.
Respect- Student discourse is positive.
On Task- Students are interested and focused on the assignment
Pre-Planning Strategies:
Determine the learning styles of your students
Determine reading levels/skills of students
Inventory access to technology
Connect writing to what is being taught
Focus on academic expectations and core content
Establish a variety of instructional strategies
10. 10
Essential Questions every teacher should ask:
What do I want all students to know and be able to do at the end of this lesson?
What will I do to cause this learning to happen?
What will students do to facilitate this learning?
How will I assess to find out if this learning happened?
What will I do for those who show through assessment that the learning did not take place?
MODULE 4: DECREASING INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS
Study of off-task behaviors
• 99% of off-task behaviors take one of several forms:
– Talking out of turn
– Clowning
– Daydreaming
– Moving about without permission
• Antisocial, dangerous behaviors make up a fraction of the time students spend off-task
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
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
• Avoid playing detective
• Utilize alternative lesson plans
• Utilize the help of colleagues
• Utilize the help of guardians
• Do not use punishment
Modifying off-task behavior patterns:
• Specify the exact behavior pattern to extinguish
• Identify positive reinforces for the behavior
• Plan to eliminate positive reinforcement
• Establish a realistic time schedule
• Implement the plan
• Evaluate the effectiveness by observing behavior
• Use the principle of “Shaping”
• Reinforce behaviors that are similar to the behavior to be learned
• Subsequent actions that are more like the behavior to be learned than previous actions are
reinforced
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
11. 11
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
Behavior: Shyness or Silence -- lack of participation:
Change teaching strategies from group discussion to individual written exercises or a
videotape
Give strong positive reinforcement for any contribution.
Involve by directly asking him/her a question.
Make eye contact.
Appoint to be small group leader
Behavior: Talkativeness -- knowing everything, manipulation, chronic whining:
Acknowledge comments made.
Give limited time to express viewpoint or feelings, and then move on.
Make eye contact with another participant and move toward that person.
Give the person individual attention during breaks.
Say: "That's an interesting point. Now let's see what other people think."
Behavior: Sharpshooting -- trying to shoot you down or trip you up:
Admit that you do not know the answer and redirect the question the group or the individual
who asked it.
Acknowledge that this is a joint learning experience.
Ignore the behavior
Behavior: Arguing -- disagreeing with everything you say; making personal attacks:
Redirect question to group or supportive individuals.
Recognize participant's feelings and move one.
Acknowledge positive points.
Say: "I appreciate your comments, but I'd like to hear from others," or "It looks like we
disagree."
Behavior: Overt Hostility/Resistance -- angry, belligerent, combative behavior:
Hostility can be a mask for fear. Reframe hostility as fear to depersonalize it.
Respond to fear, not hostility.
Remain calm and polite. Keep your temper in check.
Don't disagree, but build on or around what has been said.
Move closer to the hostile person, maintain eye contact.
Always allow him or her way to gracefully retreat from the confrontation.
Behavior: Griping -- maybe legitimate complaining:
Point out that we can't change policy here.
Validate his/her point.
Indicate you'll discuss the problem with the participant privately.
Indicate time pressure.
Behavior: Side Conversations -- may be related to subject or personal, Distracts group
members and you:
Don't embarrass talkers.
Ask their opinion on topic being discussed.
12. 12
Ask talkers if they would like to share their ideas.
Casually move toward those talking.
Make eye contact with them.
Standing near the talkers, ask a near-by participant a question so that the new discussion is
near the talkers.
As a last resort, stop and wait.
Smile
The oft-repeated recommendation that you should never smile in the first two months of the school
year is hogwash. A smile sends a subtle but powerful message to your class that kindness and
politeness are expected. It also calms nervous energy and builds instant rapport and likability. This
is critically important because when your students like you and are comfortable around you, they’ll
want to please you, listen to you and behave for you. As you meet your class, look them in the eye,
say hello and smile.
Add a dose of fun
It’s easy to get so caught up in teaching your objectives that you forget the importance of making
school fun for students. If there is a secret to classroom management, this is it. When your students
are happy, engaged and look forward to your class, you have powerful leverage to curb misbehavior
because your consequences mean something to them. It is this combination of fun and
accountability that will transform even the most difficult students. This doesn’t mean you always
have to have an interactive game at the ready or spend extra time planning, just be open to sharing a
laugh with your students. Be yourself and never be afraid to show your personality. Tell hard-luck
stories of your youth take attendance in a funny accent; answer a question as an opera singer. Enjoy
your job. Your students will love you for it.

TRAINEE’S EVALUATION
Self Assessment--Classroom Management (SACM) TOOL
Classroom management basically involves organizing the activities of 25-35 young people. Few
teachers feel that they have mastered management and often when they do, an extremely
challenging class comes along that disrupts their newfound self- efficacy. Making improvements
in one’s skill level typically involves some assessment of starting skill level, establishing goals,
and then determining specific steps, use of certain strategies, or other actions that one will take to
achieve the goals. Once goals and specific actions steps are identified, teacher reflection and
performance feedback are utilized to monitor progress. This tool was designed to help teachers
who wish to make improvements in their management skills begin the process of self-assessment,
action planning, reflection, and arranging for performance feedback.
Using the Tool
1. Rate yourself on each of the items.
2. The 0 to 3 scale represents a continuum:
0 = I have not yet implemented -- the element described has not been a part of
my management plan.
1 = I have made some attempts at implementation, but overall my effort has not
been strong or sustained.
2 = I have planned and implemented, but struggled with follow-through or
improvements along the way. My initial planning could have been better.
3 = YES, I have implemented and followed through, monitoring and
improving my use of the strategy as needed.
3. After completing the rating, add your total points for each of the 10 areas or
categories. Divide by 3 to get an average.
4. Identify your areas of strength. Plan for ways to maintain these areas of
strength.
5. For those areas that you rated not as strong decide for which areas you might write
goals.
6. For each goal (not more than 2 at a time) write specific action steps (strategy use) that you will
take to assist you in meeting your goals. Include the specific behavior, the frequency and the
duration (e. g., Greet students (each and every) by name at door before each period for 3-4
weeks).
7. You may find resources in your PBS team members or other colleagues.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Effective teaching can be defined, very simply, as activities that promote student learning. It
encompasses all of those instructor behaviors that foster student learning of the instructor’s and/or
of the institution’s educational objectives. Ideally, the students will also share at least some of these
objectives. This definition of effective teaching includes curriculum and course development,
advising, and supervision of student research as well as classroom performance. Given this broad
definition, no single approach is sufficient for evaluating effective teaching. Rather, student ratings,
self-reviews, peer evaluations, and objective criteria such as student performances and
improvements are all useful tools for evaluating different aspects of teaching.
Our educators and parents did not grow up with computers and have not been schooled in their use.
If we are to gain the many benefits technology offers our children in learning and their futures, our
teachers must be provided with ongoing opportunities to develop their understanding of the value of
technology to themselves personally and professionally and effective uses in the classroom.
