Classroom management is skill that teachers acquire over time. These skills almost never "jell" until after a minimum of few years of teaching experience. To be sure, effective teaching requires considerable skills in managing the myriad of tasks and situations that occur in the classroom everyday. Skills such as effective classroom management are central to teaching and require "Common sense," Consistency, a sense of Fairness, Realness, Valued, Humor and courage. These skills also require that teachers understand in more than one way the psychological and developmental levels of their students. The skills associated with effective classroom management are only acquired with practice, feedback, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Sadly, this is often easier said than done. Certainly, a part of this problem is that there is no practical way for education students to "practice" their newborn skills outside of actually going into a classroom setting. The learning curve is high, indeed.
Preparation is the main objective to work on while teaching, because good preparation produces a successful teacher.
ReplyDeleteWell Mohamad, they keys to good classroom management can be summarized into two categories: routine and personal relationship building. Through this year of teaching I found those pillars as most important in classroom. Routines help you to manage class equally as one unit and relationships help you manage the classroom based on each student's needs.
ReplyDelete"THE GREAT DEPATER " a very strong and attractive title and attractive colors too.
ReplyDeleteTalking about effective classroom management is very important in teaching ,I like the idea that to make a good class management we should put rules and take action based on our understanding to the students psychological and developmental level so the student himself can understand and even participate in planning the classroom rules.
