A list of classroom management articles that can benefit every teacher.
Classroom management is not something that is typically focused on in any teacher preparation courses and is definitely one of those topics that require “on-the-job” experience to fully understand its value.
Classroom management is a philosophy, as well as a set of strategies and actions. Teachers adopt a classroom management style to ensure their students are progressing academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.
Different teachers will have different classroom management models. No matter what your style, you must be able to maintain a sense of order that enables all students to thrive in their learning environment.
I have compiled a list of classroom management articles that can benefit everyone from a brand new teacher to the most seasoned veteran, to everyone in between.
Each of these articles offers slightly different perspectives and suggestions, but all contain a considerable amount of useful takeaways which can help you craft your own classroom management style.
Many ideas will be quick and easy to implement, while others - like creating a positive classroom culture - may take time to build.
These tips can work in every type of classroom, no matter the grade level or subject area. Perhaps the common thread, and the beauty of them, is that they push students to be more accountable and take responsibility for their learning. The teacher takes on more of a “facilitator” role.
Classroom management is more of an art than a science. What works for one teacher with one group of students may not work for another teacher or even the same teacher with a different group of students.
There is no “one style fits all” when it comes to classroom management, but there are several styles that are more common than others. Most teachers will find that they are a combination of a few different styles.
This article provides 20 solutions to the biggest problems teachers face when managing their classrooms. These strategies will help you build up your classroom management toolbox so that you are better prepared for different situations as they arise.
A 2021 study reveals what both groups have in common when managing their classroom, but also highlights the differences in philosophies and approaches.
The article also provides 6 useful strategies you can implement to make changes in your own classroom.
This year has been particularly challenging for teachers with regard to challenging student behaviors.
Many feel that this is a result of the pandemic, and the lack of structure students have had for the past two years. Several strategies are explored in this article, all of which involve taking a proactive rather than reactive approach.
Setting a good tone and clearly communicating with your students and families from the beginning of the year is key to success. With that said, it’s never too late to start turning things around at any point in the year.
When thinking about your approach to classroom management give special consideration to the 3 Cs - connection, consistency, and compassion.
Incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) into lessons has been a classroom management strategy that many educators have found effective.
However, many misconceptions remain about what SEL is and isn’t, and how it can benefit kids and improve the learning environment.
Building a strong classroom community is a proactive strategy to support positive behavior. Some strategies to build community include morning meetings, closing circles, mindfulness, and more.
Effective communication cancels any misconceptions in the classroom. Classroom management is more than rules. It is about treating each other with respect.
Make students feel valued and successful as individuals in your class.
Always assume the best in students; at worst, assume there’s more to know. This helps build a positive school culture that is an integral part of any classroom management plan.
What may look like rule-breaking is really a way for children to test boundaries and assert their independence.
Educators tend to make the same mistakes when responding to this disruptive behavior. Research tells us that there are more productive things we can do instead.
Late work was a problem before the pandemic and is even more so now. When we have difficulties managing our classroom, sometimes it forces us to be reflective of our practices.
This article asks some very important questions regarding how to handle the turning in and grading of late assignments.
This article explores why setting up classroom jobs is worth the effort, and also includes a few cool (non-conventional) job ideas.
Assigning classroom jobs requires a system of organization and maintenance but can work for all grade levels - not just elementary.
There are many other great classroom management tips and classroom management rules out there, but hopefully, this gives you a good idea of where you can go for more inspiration.
Classroom management is not “one size fits all” and you may find that what works one year with one group of students, may not work the next year with a different group of students.
As always, the most important thing to remember is that you need to be reflective.
If something is not working, ask yourself why not? Remain open to new ideas and suggestions.
You owe it to your students - but you also owe it to yourself.
When your classroom is running smoothly, everyone is happier.
