Study Notes
Types of Classroom Management
- Classroom management can be categorized based on involvement and control.
Authoritative Classrooms: High Involvement
- Teachers: Exhibit high control with clear, consistent behavioral expectations, actively supporting good behavior, and redirecting misbehavior.
- Students: Feel free to ask questions and make choices, leading to social and responsible behavior.
Authoritative Classrooms: Low Involvement
- Teachers: Control classrooms strictly but lack partnership with students, leading to minimal student input.
- Students: Limited freedom hinders learning and discovery; some conform to rules while others may rebel against perceived uncaring teachers.
Indulgent and Permissive Classrooms
- Teachers: Foster chaos by encouraging misbehavior and failing to enforce expectations; often described as lazy in management.
- Students: Display immaturity, lack impulse control, and leadership skills due to poor structure.
Rules and Rewards
- Classroom rules are vital for guiding expected behaviors and should be established and enforced consistently.
- Programs like Assertive Discipline and Love and Logic provide frameworks for maintaining classroom conduct.
Rules
- Rules should be limited in number (3-5), stated positively (e.g., "always walk" vs. "don't run"), and prominently displayed.
- Discuss and clarify rules with students, ensuring they understand their responsibilities.
- High school rules should be treated as "life choices," respecting students as adults.
Rewards
- Rewards recognize and promote appropriate behavior; kind words from the teacher can significantly motivate students.
- Acknowledgement of good behavior through praise is essential for fostering a positive classroom environment.
Consequences
- Every rule has consequences, which should match the offense and the student's age.
- Misbehavior may lead to escalating consequences, starting with non-verbal signals or reminders from teachers.
