Here is one teacher&#8217;s opinion. <b>As                    with all classroom management practices, adapt what you like to                    your classroom<\/b>, taking account the age, ethnicity, and personality                  of the class as a group, and of you as a teacher.<i>S.M.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maintaining good order in classrooms is one of the most difficult                  tasks facing young inexperienced teachers. The task has become more                  difficult over the past few decades as young people&#8217;s attitudes to                  people in authority have changed dramatically. Some of the changes                  have led to greater self-confidence in students. Others&#8211;such as the                  acceptance of violence to achieve ends, attitudes to substance abuse                  and an increasing lack of respect for authority&#8211;have made classroom                  management and life in school generally more difficult, and more demanding,                on those who are charged with maintaining a positive learning environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many disruptive behaviors in the classroom can be alleviated before                  they become serious discipline problems. Such behaviors can be reduced                  by the teacher&#8217;s ability to employ effective organizational practices.                  Such practices are at the heart of the teaching process and are essential                to establishing and maintaining classroom control.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right;margin: 3px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4904471974338763\";\ngoogle_alternate_color = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 250;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"250x250_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\ngoogle_ad_channel =\"1838017730\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"\";\ngoogle_ui_features = \"rc:6\";\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following set of organizational practices should help to establish                effective control of the classroom by the teacher:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>1. Get off to a good start.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first &#8220;honeymoon&#8221; encounter between the teacher and                  the students is when they formulate their impressions of the teacher.                  Students sit quietly, raise their hands to respond and are generally                  well behaved. The teacher is easily misled into thinking that this                  is an ideal class and may relax their vigilance. Students within a                  week will begin to test the waters to see what they can &#8220;get                  away with&#8221;. It is during this period that the effective teacher                will establish the expected ground-rules for classroom behavior.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>2. Learning School Policies.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prior to meeting the class for the first time, the teacher should                  become familiar with school policies concerning acceptable student                  behavior and disciplinary procedures. The teacher should definitely                  know what the school expects from both student and teacher in regard                to discipline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>3. Establishing Rules.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Establish a set of classroom rules to guide the behavior of students                  at once. Discuss the rationale of these rules with the students to                  ensure they understand and see the need for each rule. Keep the list                  of rules short. The rules most often involve paying attention, respect                  for others, excessive noise, securing materials and completion of                homework assignments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>4. Overplaning Lessons.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Overplan&#8221; the lessons for the first week or two. It is                  important for the teacher to impress on the students from the outset                  that he or she is organized and confident of their ability to get                through the syllabus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>5. Learning Names.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Devise a seating arrangement whereby students&#8217; names are quickly                  learned. Calling a student by his or her name early in the year gives                  the student an increased sense of well being. It also gives a teacher                  greater control of situations. &#8220;JOHN, stop talking and finish                  your work&#8221; is more effective than &#8220;Let us stop talking and                finish our work&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>6. Be Firm and Consistant.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A teacher can be firm yet still be supportive and friendly with students.                  A firm teacher can provide an environment where the students feel                  safe and secure. Many teachers report that it is easier to begin the                  year in a firm manner and relax later, than to begin in a lax manner                and then try to become firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s note: There are many different practices that are used for good classroom management.
