• Effective teachers take time in the beginning of the year and especially on the first day of school to establish classroom management, classroom organization, and expectations for student behavior.
• Classroom Management is “the actions and strategies teachers use to solve the problem of order in classrooms”
• Effective teachers also use rules, procedures, and routines to ensure that students are actively involved in learning
• In essence, they use management not to control student behavior, but to influence and direct it in a constructive manner to set the stage for instruction
• Classroom Organization focuses on the physical environment.
• Expectations for Student Behavior is what the teachers want the students to do, how they must behave inside the classroom
• classroom rules - conduct or behavior and a fixed principle
• classroom organization - sytematize for a safe classroom environment
• custodial orientation - order
• humanistic orientation - to maintain a classroom climate in which active interaction and communication.
• routines are specific ways of doing things that, for the most part, vary little during the course of the day or the year.
