Study Notes
Classroom Management Strategies
-
Address disruptive behavior promptly, such as speaking students, by using non-verbal cues or direct engagement. Reinforce expectations clearly.
-
For students engaging in pestering behavior, implement clear consequences after initial warnings. Consider one-on-one check-ins to address underlying issues.
-
Manage inappropriate responses by redirecting the student through questioning or refocusing their attention on the lesson. Set clear consequences for continued silliness.
-
Enforce academic integrity by addressing cheating firmly yet fairly. It’s important to follow school policy and speak individually to the affected students about the situation.
-
Handle students passing items or engaging in distractions during lectures by moving closer to the group or calling them out directly. Reinforce classroom rules around attention and participation.
-
Intervene in negative interactions among students quickly to de-escalate conflict. Teach conflict resolution strategies and encourage respectful communication.
-
Monitor habitual bathroom breaks that interfere with class time. Consider discussing the issue privately with the student to establish a reasonable plan for minimizing disruptions.
-
Support students struggling due to external factors, such as family issues that affect academic performance. Communicate with them and their parents while providing appropriate academic support or adjustments.
-
Challenge bored students by providing differentiated instruction or enrichment activities to keep them engaged with the curriculum, especially if they consistently perform well academically.
-
Handle complaints about exam content diplomatically. Allow students to express concerns while also emphasizing the importance of a constructive approach to feedback.
-
Be sensitive to requests for accommodations based on learning differences. Maintain a supportive atmosphere while ensuring confidentiality and respect among students.
-
Tactfully address covert disruptive behaviors, such as noise-making, and hold students accountable for their actions. Consistently remind students to focus on their learning tasks.
-
Proactively manage groups of students engaging in distractions by establishing clear classroom rules. Encourage positive peer influence and collaboration instead of disruptions.
