Discover how LiveSchool empowers new teachers to navigate classroom challenges & foster a positive learning space.
Being new at anything is pretty challenging. But I’d argue that teaching is the most difficult occupation of all at the beginning. For most jobs, you get a ramp-up period, training, or some dip-your-toe-in-the-water time.
Teachers get their keys, badges, and email…then they are asked to engage a classroom of 30+ students, all the while differentiating by ability level and managing behaviors for 90 minutes…and that’s just 1st block.
On that schedule, you probably get to do that 3x on your first day. If you're on a period schedule the classes will be shorter but you might see as many as 180 students on your first day!
For a new teacher, it can be…well, a lot. Recently we got the chance to chat with Isabella Grove, a first-year teacher at Wadsworth STEM in Chicago, Illinois.
She’s going through all of the challenges you likely went through as a new teacher or are likely to go through in the future if you are an undergrad. But she’s had a secret weapon this year that helped zoom her straight to classroom management boss status: LiveSchool.
LiveSchool is a platform designed to streamline classroom management tools and promote positive behavior in schools. At its core, LiveSchool aligns with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a proactive approach to behavior management.
With LiveSchool, educators can easily track student behavior and achievements in real time, awarding PBIS Points for positive actions such as demonstrating respect, responsibility, and kindness.
These points contribute to a system of rewards and incentives, fostering a positive school culture and reinforcing desired behaviors.
In addition to behavior tracking and rewards, LiveSchool provides tools for effective classroom management, allowing teachers to set expectations, communicate with students and parents, and analyze behavioral data to make informed decisions.
By integrating these features, LiveSchool empowers educators, promotes a positive learning environment, and helps students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
When we talked with Isabella, she pointed to five specific benefits of using LiveSchool in her classroom this year. These are areas in which most new teachers generally struggle, but she has excelled.
Tardies disrupt classroom flow, interrupting lessons and distracting peers. Managing tardies is challenging for teachers, as it disrupts instruction and wastes valuable time.
Incentivizing students with points can reduce tardiness by promoting punctuality as a positive behavior, encouraging students to arrive on time to earn rewards and contribute positively to the classroom environment.
Poor cooperation disrupts classroom harmony, hindering collaboration and fostering a negative atmosphere. Managing this challenges teachers, as it requires constant intervention as you become the only source of help in the room.
Incentivizing students with points can foster peer cooperation by promoting helpfulness as a positive behavior, encouraging teamwork, and fostering a supportive classroom environment.
Creating an environment where students consistently excel academically and participate actively is challenging for teachers.
By gamifying the classroom with points, educators can incentivize students to go above and beyond, fostering a competitive spirit that encourages extra effort and enthusiastic participation in coursework and classroom activities.
Managing a class with low student participation and general non-compliance with directions is daunting for teachers, disrupting lessons and hindering learning outcomes.
Utilizing points and a little encouragement can motivate students to participate and have those hands reaching for the sky during classroom discussions.
Implementing points can motivate students to complete tasks diligently by incentivizing responsibility and recognizing achievement. Nothing slows down progress in your class quite like a room full of students who are multiple assignments behind.
When students are motivated to keep up with their assignments the teacher can not only keep up with the pacing guide but now they’re able to add in educational enhancement opportunities like fun projects.
For a first-year teacher, navigating the complexities of classroom management can be overwhelming. A structured framework to streamline behavior tracking, incentives, and communication can go a long way toward teacher efficacy.
With a system like LiveSchool, teachers like Isabella Grove can establish effective classroom management processes, cultivate a positive learning environment, and lay the foundation for academic success throughout the school year.
Those classroom management skills won’t come easy, but they also don’t have to be impossible to obtain either. Sometimes it’s all about aligning motivations with expectations.
