(Mannings &
Bucher, 2007)
Techniques to
maximize student
engagement in
academic activities,
not merely to
minimize
misconduct (Brophy,
1988)
Eliciting the
cooperation of
students in
minimizing
misconduct so that
worthwhile academic
activities are occuring
continuously
Provision of
procedures is
necessary to create &
maintain an
environment in which
teaching & learning
can occur (Duke 1987)
Organizing students,
space, time, materials
so that instruction &
learning can take
place
The full range
of teacher
efforts to
oversee
classroom
activities,
including
learning, social
interaction and
student
behaviour
(Burden, 2005;
Good & Brophy,
2006)
21. I. Definition of Classroom
Management
consists of all of the teacher thoughts, plans,
and actions that create an orderly environment
and promote learning
are strategies that the teachers use to create a
safe and orderly environment in the classroom
working with and through others to accomplish
the organization’s goals (Randolph, 1985)
23. Many of the emerging classroom
management/discipline programs and
principles are based on the belief that
when student’s basic needs
are met, misbehavior can be
avoided.
How to avoid misbehavior?
25. II. As Classroom manager, the
teacher determines the ff. :
The kind of psycho-social climate that prevails in
the classroom.
The kind of physical environment most conducive
to learning (lighting, venatilation, and room
appearance).
The establishment of effective classroom
procedures with efficiency and less cost of time
and energy on both the teacher and the students.
27. III. Concepts on Classroom
Management
1. Careful thought, patient attention to
details and painstaking preparation have
been the ingredients of any successful
piece of teaching.
2. The key to successful school teaching
lies in sound class management (James
Dunhill)
3. Effective classroom management begins
not from physical environment but from
the teacher herself.
28. III. Concepts on Classroom
Management
4. “ It is not an atom of use preaching the good
life if you yourself are not the shining
example. Do not be always right though or
do not pretend to be always right if you’re
not. The revelation to the pupils of an
occasional fallibility may earn you their
love and sympathy.”
“Let us practice what we preach.”
29. III. Concepts on Classroom
Management
5. The climate prevailing in the classroom has
considerable affect on student’s learning
(Lindgwen, 1980: 390 mentioned by Bustos and
Espiritu, 1996)
6. The climate in which the student works is
determined by an orderly atmosphere and an
attractive working environment )Lightfoof=t,
1983 mentioned by Reganit, 1998)
30. III. Concepts on Classroom
Management
7. Effective schools maximize the time to
learn.
8. Teachers tend to use the strategies that
are congruent with what they believe.
9. All classrooms need rules and routines to
function effectively. It should be taught in
the first four days of the school (Leinhardt,
Weidman and Hammond; 1991).
31. Workshop 2:
Each group must contain the
2 to 3 members according to
the category below:
1-2 years
3-5 years
6 years & above
33. Example of Encouraging Behaviors
(Orstein, 1990)
Sample Situation: Student talks
with a classmate
Teacher maintains eye contact
indicating attention of student’s
needs and or problems
Teacher calls students by their
names.
34. Examples of Resctricting/Disinviting Behaviors
Sample Situation: Student talks
with a classmate
Teacher pokes, slaps, or grabs
students.
Teacher throw pieces of chalk to
the misbahaving student.
36. Management Components that
Demand our Attention
1. Setting and maintaining realistic
classroom rules/limits
- aim for CONSISTENCY
- involve the students in setting simple
class rules
- convey your expectations to the
children often, using a variety of t
echniques
37. Management Components that
Demand our Attention
2. Positive Reinforcement and encouragement
- Praise-encourage the efforts of the child
not of the teacher’s
3. Active listening
- send children the message that they are
important enough to have the teacher’s
individual attention (STOP, LOOK, LISTEN,
RESPOND)
38. Management Components that
Demand our Attention
4. Redirection
5. Logical and Natural consequences
6. Creative transition - these are connective tissues
for creating a daily route that flows (songs, finger
plays, poems that occur between the more
structured parts of the day and help children make
waiting fun, focus attention, and stimulate interest
in upcoming events.)
39. Four Management Principles
(Reganit, 1998)
1. Students follow rules when
they understand and accept
the rules.
2. Aim for maximizing time
spent in productive work
rather than stressing control
behavior.
40. Four Management Principles
(Reganit, 1998)
3. Establish self-control rather
control by authority.
4. Problems are minimized when
students are engaged in work
that matches their interest and
attitude.

2. Create a warm and
nurturing climate: the
classroom should be a
place where students feel
welcome and at home
- physical environment
- treatment of students should
be with dignity and respect
- Esprit de corps = the teacher
facilitates the development
of togetherness

3. Democratically develop
a set of rules and
consequences
- should be agreed upon and
understood by the class
- discuss logical
consequences
- display the rules and
consequences permanently

4. Develop a daily routine
yet remain flexible.
5. Make learning more
attractive and fun for
students.
- provide genuine incentives-
those that stimulating
- provide variety of seatwork
- focus on students needs =
lessons should be relevant,
strategies congruent to learning
styles; activities should be fun
46.
47. 1. Deal with misbehavior quickly,
consistently and respectfully.
- use non-verbal communication = body
language, facial expressions. Gestures, eye
contact and physical proximity to prevent
escalation
- use appropriate and clear reminders/
request
- redirect misbehavior
48. 1. Deal with misbehavior quickly,
consistently and respectfully.
- deal with attention-seeking students
- avoid power struggles rather offer some
positions of responsibility or decision making
- address the behavior not the student’s
character
- invoke consequences
- prevent escalation through talking with the
student
49. 2. When all else fails, respectfully
move the problem-student from the
class.
Continued disruptions are detrimental to the
over-all object that all students will become
effective and active learners.
Use behavioral plan = can be written in
contract form and should include expected
behavior for the student, positive
recognition for compliance, and
consequences for failing.
50. What are the Ways
to Build and Practice
Communication
Skills for Classroom
Management
58. Authoritarian
Firm limits & controls
Quiet classroom
No indication of “cura personalis”
Passive students
Teacher prefers vigorous discipline and
expects swift obedience
Students need to follow directions
and not asking why
59. Authoritative
Limits & controls but with
students independence
More open to verbal interaction
More warm and nurturing
Encourages self-reliance & socially
competent behavior
60. Laissez-faire
Few demands & controls
(“bayaan na lang, padaanin na lang”)
Strives not to hurt student’s
feelings, can’t say no
Very involves with students
Students’ buddy
Discipline is likely to be inconsistent
61. Indifferent
Not very involved in the classroom
No (or lacking) classroom discipline
No impositions
Not prepared
Results to students having low
achievement motivation and lack of
self-control
62. CM Profile
Low Control High Control
Low Concern
or affection
Indifferent Authoritarian
High Concern
or affection
Laissez-Faire Authoritative
63. How do our belief affect the
way we manage our classroom?
“Whatever one believes to be
true either is true or becomes
true in one’s mind.”
- John C. Lily
64. How do our belief affect the
way we manage our classroom?
The teacher’s beliefs
become students’
Reality.
65. Beliefs
How we work with students
in the classroom is shaped
primarily by what we believe
about how students learn
how to behave.
66. What do Teachers Do to Create a
Well-managed Classroom? (Kuonin)
8 variables for describing the group
management behavior of Ts
1. With-itness – the ability to accurately
spot deviant behavior even before starts
2. Overlappingness – the ability to spot
and deal with deviant behavior while
going right on with the lesson
67. 8 variables for describing the group
management behavior of Ts
3. Smoothness – absence of behavior that
interrupt the flow of activities
4. Momentum – absence of behaviors that
slow down lesson pacing
5. Group alerting – techniques the T uses
to keep non-involved Ss attending and
forewarned of forthcoming event
68. 8 variables for describing the group
management behavior of Ts
6. Accountability – techniques used by Ts
to keep Ss accountable for their
performance
7. Challenge arousal – techniques used by
Ts to keep Ss involved and enthusiastic
8. Variety – the degree to which various
aspects of lessons differ
69. Important Findings
• With-itness, momentum,
overlappingness, smoothness,
and group alertingn all appear
to increase student
involvement
• With-itness and momentum decreases
Ss deviancy
70. Dangle = leaving a topic dangling to do
something else
Flip-flop = beginning and stopping an
activity and then going back to it
Common Problems in Maintaining
Smoothness and Momentum
Fragmentation = breaking
instruction/activities into overly small
segments
71. Overdwelling – staying too long giving
instructions or in an activity even after
Ss understand it
Stimulus-bounded – T is so immersed in a
small groupnof Ss; ignores others
Common Problems in Maintaining
Smoothness and Momentum
Thrust = T burst into activities without
assessing Ss readiness, gives
orders/questions that confuse Ss
Truncation = T end activities abruptly
72. Set procedures that govern Ss talk,
partipation and movement, turning in
work, and what to do during downtime.
Give clear instructions.
What do Effective Classroom
Managers do?
Handle misbehavior quickly.
Give clear and explicit presentations and
explanations.
Use appropriate classroom layout.
73. • Discipline – school wide consistency
- General rules
- Specific rules
Student behavior to be taught
in the 1st week of classes
74. • Procedures – how the teachers
wants things to be done
• Routines – what students do
automatically
Procedures and Routines Defined
75. • Only about 7 rules and
procedures at the secondary
level
• 5 to 8 at the elementary level
How many rules?
Carefully select the rules and procedures
for your classroom
