- 13. Six strategies for classroom management Strategy 1: Create an effective learning environment Benjamin Franklin said: ―An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.‖ This is particularly true of a teacher’s actions during the first week of school. If you are one step ahead of your students and their day-to-day needs, you will manage the unexpected more smoothly when it comes along. Students will recognize and follow the classroom routine earlier and more easily if you are prepared. Students will also see that you are in charge of your classroom, you have high expectations of them and you expect them to succeed.
- 14. Set rules, boundaries and expectations.
- 15. Strategy 2: Establish classroom procedures Classroom procedures communicate how to do daily activities. Teach and model procedures until they are routine. For example Have students sit at their desks or in their groups. Have everyone get out the materials needed. Make sure all eyes are on you—use nonverbal cues. Test understanding by asking students, ―What is the first step?‖or ―What are you supposed to do now?‖ Work the first few questions or problems as a class and have students record the answer(s). Walk around the classroom until you are sure all students are on task. Focus on building relationships- use QCT.
- 16. Strategy 3: Create a motivational environment Encourage initiative-Promote growth mindset and use variety into your lessons. Demonstrate consistently that you believe all students will learn. For example, use short positive words to praise good work and behaviour (e.g., great idea, fantastic, good job, sensational, super). Create an attractive, enriched environment. Get students involved by asking them to decorate their own classroom. Use student work to decorate when possible, to validate the work and to show examples of good work.

- 18. Strategy 4: Make every minute count Begin on time. End on time. A few minutes of class time saved every day could add up to hours of additional academic Revision time by the end of the school year. Plan each lesson in advance. Well-designed lesson plans have clear learning objectives and provide meaningful activities for students to reach the objective. Divide your board into three sections: (1) the left side for organizational points (date, objectives, homework); (2) the central and largest section for ongoing work that can be erased as the lesson progresses; and (3) the right section for reference points which students need throughout the lesson.
- 19. Strategy 5: Keep everyone engaged Challenging students to think actively involves them in learning and develops critical skills. Expect both low and high achievers to participate in classroom discussions and answer questions. Ideas to encourage all pupils to think Ask a question, wait three to five seconds (wait time), then call on a student. Wait time encourages more thoughtful responses and allows slower, as well as quicker, students to respond. Use the echo technique: one student gives an answer and you call on another student to repeat it. ―John, tell us what Sara said.‖ ―Mia, rephrase Michael’s answer for us.‖ This process reinforces correct answers, involves more students, and improves listening skills.
- 20. Strategy 6: Teach life skills and good learning habits As you work to create an organized learner-centred classroom you can teach students many important skills. Sometimes called character skills or life skills, these are the skills that enable students to become mature, confident, and successful adults who contribute positively to their communities and society as a whole.
