Advocating the five themes of citizenship -- honesty, compassion,

MANAGEMENT
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
1.
Rules: Establish and
teach classroom rules to communicate
expectations for behavior.
If possible, have the class help create the rules. |
2.
Routines: Build
structure and establish routines to help
guide students in a wide variety of situations. |
3.
Praise: Reinforce
positive behavior, using praise and other means.
"They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." |
4.
Misbehavior: Consistently impose consequences for
misbehavior.
BE CONSISTENT! |
5.
Engagement: Foster
and maintain student engagement by teaching interesting lessons
that include opportunities for active student participation. |
Teachers need to distinguish between rules and
procedures. There should be
less than 5 rules in a classroom which govern
behavior (e.g. respect others).
There can be many procedures (e.g. passing papers, using computers, turning
in homework) which should be taught as the need arises.
All rules and procedures should be reviewed throughout the year.
We
all forget sometimes. The review is as much for the teacher as it is for the students.

*Tips
For Classroom Management -
*Build Community
*Design a Safe, Friendly, and
Well-Managed Classroom Environment
*Include Students in Creating
Rules, Norms, Routines, and Consequences
*Always Be Calm, Fair, and
Consistent
*Know the Students You Teach
*Address Conflict Quickly and
Wisely
*Integrate Positive Classroom
Rituals
*Partner with Parents and
Guardians

Learning Activity Types Links
Most teachers have two of the three of the following knowledges:
- Technology -
tools and the stuff
Pedagogy - the way we teach
Content - what we teach
Context
- the fourth component that pulls
everything together:
Convergent Learning
-
Flash cards, memorization, and drill learning are examples of
convergent teaching.
Convergent thinking involves the ability to bring concepts and
materials from a variety of sources to come up with the correct
answer.
This means information is provided in a clear and precise way,
encouraging learning in a direct path.
Divergent Learning
-
Learning through play, creative projects and imaginary play are
ways that encourage divergent thinking.
Teaching methods for divergent learning involve offering students
many ideas and solutions
for problems as well as encouraging children to find creative
ways to learn.
Divergent teaching encourages children to take risks, learn how
to be flexible and to use their imagination.

Webinar - The Highly Engaged Classroom | Presented by Margaret
McInteer
Novice and veteran teachers alike are always challenged with the goal of
keeping students engaged. This webinar, based on the book of the same
title, will review the research on classroom engagement and then provide
perspectives and strategies to help teacher meet these challenges. The
book, thus the Webinar, organizes the complex topic of engagement into
four critical areas:
- Student emotions (How do I feel/)
- Student interest (Am I interested?)
- Student perceptions of importance (Is this important?)
- Student perceptions of efficacy (Can I do this?)
Specific recommendations and resources will be offered in each of the
four areas. These will include strategies that could be applied
immediately as well as strategies that, when used over time, contribute
to the development of “highly engaged classrooms.” |
