Classroom management Behavior!

 Hello everyone!

                                              I hope you are doing fine and enjoying the last school weeks!

As future teachers, you have to be really careful, while managing your class. Always keep in mind than Behavior Management, most of the time, is the Key to Success. 

Having effective behavior will definitely make an amazingly Big Impact on your class. You can prepare a fabulous lesson, but if you can not manage the behavior, I don't think it will be worth it.

Finding a behavior management style that works for you is a Process.

I will show you some tips:

1.Create a class to identify or improve Behavior

While we decide a class name at the start of the school year, we can chose a name based on the theme of the year, it can be a suggestion from our students or a combination of a few names. Always remember to keep this topic fun, so the pupils will come up always with great ideas.
A few names you can use are:

1. Supermen
2. Leader's club
3. The dynamites

2. Build relationships

Building relationship with students shows that we care about them and that we are really interested in their well-being. At the beginning of the school year, try to save all their contact numbers, and contact with their families, with positive comments during the whole school year. Always be patient and let your students feel free to talk to you when having a problem. Be like a Big Brother/Sister to them. It is well said, 'The teacher becomes our second mother'.

3. Collaborative class rules

When collaborating with our students to make rules, a great classroom environment is also cultivated. We have to create rules that address how students are expected to interact with each-other. how are they expected to interact with each-other and with the physical space as well. Through this stage, they develop a sense of ownership for their classroom.

4. Routines

It will be better if we set clear routines for everything we would like our students to do in class. We have to be explicit about everything. Do not assume that students know the expectations for this class and also be sure to practice the classroom routines.

In my opinion it is a good idea to teach our routines and expectations in a way that allows us to differentiate ignorance versus defiance.

5. Rewards 

Rewards are the sweets of the day! They can be individual, group or class- based. Students contributed to the class rules, allow them to contribute to the rewards.

6. Be calm, quiet and consistent

When administering correction be sure to stay calm. Giving a behavioral consequence should not be emotional, rather it should be a response to the clearly outlined rules and routines of your classroom. Avoid threats and deliver consequences firmly.

7. Set high expectations

Set high academic and behavioral expectations. Everyone in the class should have a clear vision of what they want our classroom to look like in the behavioral aspect. Creating an academically engaging, rigorous class, is a great way to manage behaviors. If we make our class engaging students will be invested in the learning experience and less likely to be off task or misbehave.

8. Be an Example

Model the behaviors you as a teacher would like your students to display. You have to be open to the fact that you make mistakes as well. Of course be humble as well to admit them. Even if you apology to your students there is nothing wrong with it. Remember that respect is reciprocal so if you show respect to them, they will show respect to you. No doubts!

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy it, and feel free to leave your comments below!
