Classroom Management
Simply
put, classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques
that teachers use to ensure that their classroom runs smoothly, without
disruptive behavior from students. According to teacher Ben Johnson, it
boils down to having a structured learning environment with clear rules that
promote learning as well as consequences that diminish or eliminate behaviors
that get in the way of learning.
This
can look different depending on which subject and age group you teach, how many
students you have, and most importantly, your core personality. What works for
a type-A, highly organized, routine-loving teacher may not work for a more laid
back, roll-with-the-punches kind of teacher.
Of
course, the ultimate goal for any teacher is an academically productive
classroom with focused, attentive, and on-task students. Unfortunately, any
teacher can tell you this is way harder than it sounds and usually takes years
to accomplish. Even for teachers who consider themselves relatively skilled
managers, things often change depending on the new mix of students they teach
every year. So really, being skilled at management is an ongoing process, part
of the lifelong learning that makes teaching so interesting.
Why is
classroom management so important?
When
done effectively, classroom management is important for three main reasons. It:
– Creates
and sustains an orderly learning environment in the classroom
– Improves
meaningful academic learning and fosters social-emotional growth
– Increases
students’ academic engagement and lowers negative classroom behavior
