How to improve the participation of students and create a positive climate for
easier to handle." And it is true. But we still need rules, routines, trust and
participation students for the class runs smoothly and effectively. This guide will
cover the practical aspects of classroom management with suggestions and resources
for Kindergarten through 12th grade. Most of these tips can be applied to students of
all ages, but the techniques themselves are different for different levels. For example,
create a community, it could mean name games with students from elementary
school, but set up a photo booth for middle school students. Then advice, incorporates
positive rituals in class, might seem appropriate only for elementary students, but
includes suggestions to make the morning meeting is also an important part of the day
for teens and tween. During my first year of school, a teacher with experience told
me: "You're so teacher ethics as English." What she means to me is that literature
involves themes and lessons for life, so inevitably end up talking seriously about the
moral, what is right and what is wrong and the difference between good decisions and
bad decisions. It is no coincidence then that the ten tips offered openly propose social
and emotional learning or SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) an approach they
teaches children how to face challenges, control their emotions and build positive
relationships.
1. Creates A community Classroom Management
- community-and find the time and space needed to do from the beginning of the
year over the following months can make all the difference in class. In short, when
there is affection in the air, there will be many fewer behavior problems. Greet
your students at the door: This simple gesture creates that moment when you and
the student make eye contact, speak directly ("good morning") and have a
connection. This may be the only personal contact have that day with the student,
but has much value. When you use a respectful way to greet another human being,
you are implicitly telling all students that this is how we will communicate with
us. Get to know: Teachers and students begin to learn their names on the first day
of school and should be able to be called by name after two weeks. Use interesting
activities and age-appropriate students. As more and more students know the other
students, they will begin to form connections. This inevitably brings more empathy
and understanding and finally, caring relationships with less conflict in the
classroom. The photos will help students to connect names and faces. In this article

activities with photos, for example , students create their own passports in their

corner of your living classes something that will appeal to teenagers and tweens.
The experienced educator Peter Pappas recommends using the first day of school
for teens to perform several tasks at the same time, to get students to think while
they are learning. Definitely take the time and energy required to build community
projects and written assignments should occupy the walls, and should have easy
access to materials and notes, as well as provide a place where class assignments.
Ask students to design their class: Students decide where to hang the dioramas on
photosynthesis or book reports, and also deal with hanging. Additionally, graphics,
instructions -any poster should be permanently written by students. The more you
Move desks and try different configurations of tables, you can also
create a pleasant environment that is more suitable for collaboration. The social
means that the tables will move in groups or students so that they are facing each
other. This can make the class a little noisy, but helps create a community of
students much more quickly than if the desks are arranged in rows facing the front
of the class.
3. Includes Students at The Elaboration of Rules, Norms, Routines and
students can give their opinion. The teacher's role is to facilitate and guide students
through the steps to develop contracts social. What's the score? Students will have
full control on what has been decided about rules, expectations and consequences
in the classroom.
The start of the new school year is the ideal time to prepare one social
contract. Begin by asking the children to name all the things they see, feel and hear
in class that make them feels comfortable, safe and happy. Use this graphic
organizer: to create a schema with the whole class and then decide on the rules,
that the same student is late to class, makes them nasty comments to peers or other
happened and then consider what can be done to rectify the situation and prevent it

students think about how they behave and how they treat each other. Instead of
punishment, the student can write a plan to repair or a letter of apology, or propose
more options you have, the better. Communication between teacher and students:
If multiple reliable for students to talk with you options, classes will take place
smoothly. This will ensure that all students can come and sit with you for a chat in
private if necessary (before school, once a week for lunch any day after school).
Ask them to students who deliver daily or weekly project notebooks. Includes one
or two tasks in which students can write freely what you want, even a letter for
when they share their ideas and intellect with the other students. As teachers, we

with other students, and connections are visible. Finally, when you are talking to

language.
5. Always Be Calm, Fair and Consistent

students.A peaceful, fair and consistent teacher is a teacher you can trust.
Tranquility: Always have a quiet and firm behavior, even if the head and
heart tell you to actor wise. Use your ability to act as teachers we all learn and
when you feel that your blood boil, remember this: the kids do not trust
teachers reactive and generally do not respect. Fear should never be the great
motivator in our classes. Staying calm means never raising his voice or talk over
the class. If students are talking, wait. Wait a little longer. Wait until it is so
uncomfortable that many students begin to silence others. Then, even if you feel
more angry, use a soft, gentle voice so you have to lean forward to hear. Now you
have controlled.
Although not feel the same for each student, they must never know or
realize this. Being fair means that all students must follow the same rules and
receive the same exceptions to those rules. To make sure you're right, remember
to do the following: Avoid calling or choose the same students over and over
again. Recognizes to the class that has made an exception (for a student, another
class periodor group). Keep a firm line between rules and routines. The rules

compassion, concern, patience and self-control in every chance you get. The eyes
of the students are on us at all times, even when we think we are mired in their
tasks. They watch, listen, learn and then repeat the behaviors they see.
Meet your students and make your own this question: "What I know so
well my own," Think of this helps you to know and understand your students.
Looking your history (finance, culture, education and gender), you will recognize
the lens through which you see your students. For example, if you grew up in a
middle class home but teach students mainly families live below the poverty line,
you can take the time to learn about your specific challenges.
Take a moment to think about where you stand. Consider the following
Defies all stereotypes and faces in the curriculum and the educational
environment.

Help your students have hope and develop strategies to overcome academic and
social barriers.
Use texts that are relevant and relate to the lives and experiences of their
students.
When we do our best to display all these qualities, we are including all
asking a colleague or mentor to observe your class. Coalition for Essential Schools
(Coalition for Essential Schools) has developed an observation tool and discussion
sure to address a problem that you have with a student or between two students
have as quickly as possible. The negative feelings from your hand or students can
worsen quickly. Now, to handle these conflicts intelligently, you and the
student should be away from other students, maybe meet at the entrance of the
classroom. Make naive questions as:"How I can help?. Accuse not a child at all.
Act as if you really cared, but then feel the opposite. Usually, the student will be
expected to disarm because they are angry and have an aggressive attitude,
and always takes a positive approach. Say: It seems that you have a
question, instead of why are you talking about and you are not working?
forum during which he greets each person in the group. Create a sense of "we're all
in this together. Good things: Ask them to volunteers to share something good that
happened to them. Students can also share a future event that is positive (such as a
birthday or a trip). A move: Ask them to students to say a word that describes how
they feel today. It begins with a volunteer and then "move" for class. Give students
shows and games and incorporate while you teach them the skills, concepts and
pedagogy, Paulo Freire rejected the idea that children are empty vessels. On the

behavior usually are treated and educated as if they need to be "filled" with
active new ideas or concepts based on their beliefs and knowledge current and
previous. Use essential questions: Substantial and extensive questions are a great
way to introduce a unit of study and help connect learning to students' lives.
Questions essential not have a right or wrong answer, and they are not easy to
answer. They give meaning and relevance to what they are studying students, and
aims to capture the attention and the thoughts of his heart and sometimes a group
of students. Should not solve, they are for discussion and reflection. Here are some
examples of essential:
How animals are human and how humans are animals? (science)
What is love? (poetry)
When is it acceptable to rebel? (story)
What would life be without the math?(mathematical)

make sure you have enough cards presentation or cards with contact information
including your e-mail, phone number (optional), the number of classroom and
telephone number of the school. This may seem basic, but the card not only allows
parents to easily communicate with you, but also shows them that you want to be
called.
Calling home: make calls positive whenever you can. There is nothing
more depressing than having to sit after a day of classes and call home five
students to give bad news. Call the houses to tell something positive you will be
happy the day you and them, and opens the door to a relationship. When you need
to call with a problem, be sure to mention first something positive about the
student.
