Good Classroom Management

Offer praise

Praise students for jobs well
done, as doing so improves academic and behavioral performance.

When it is sincere and references
specific examples of effort or accomplishment, praise can:

– Inspire the class

– Improve a student’s
self-esteem

– Reinforce rules and values
you want to see

Perhaps more importantly, it
encourages students to repeat positive behavior. Let’s say a student exemplifies
advanced problem-solving skills when tackling a math word problem. Praising his or her use
of specific tactics should go a long way in ensuring he or she continues to use
these tactics. Not to mention, you’ll motivate other students to do the same.
