Classroom management is how a teacher uses materials and
pedagogy to allow students to achieve to their maximum potential. Getting students to understand the procedures
for your class and the rules that they must follow to be successful is a vital
part of achieving. Too many times we get
lost in telling students what not to do instead of telling/showing them what to
do. It is only by modeling the behaviors that you are looking for in class,
will they students fully understand how to conduct themselves.
Students must be able
to control one’s behavior. They can not
let society dictate how they respond to situations. Students need to be able to reflect on what
their norms are outside of school and adapt them when they come to school. Being able to see that rules and procedures
are in place to guide them toward success and not failure is vital in the
maturation of a student. Teaching this
life lesson sets up a student for future success whatever it may be. I feel that accountability and responsibility
are vital role players in the classroom as well. Students need to understand that they are
responsible for their actions and are going to be held accountable for how they
handle their responsibilities.
