Stress Test
• On the next slide, look at both dolphins jumping
out of the water. The dolphins are identical.
• A closely monitored, scientific study of a group of
scientists revealed that in spite of the fact that the
dolphins are identical, a person under stress would
find differences in the two dolphins.
• The number of differences observed matches
closely to the amount of stress the observer is
experiencing.
• Look at the photograph and if you find more than
one or two differences you may be experiencing
stress.

• Some of today’s topics will be well-known
for some and new (ah-ha moments) for
others.
• Hopefully you can learn something new and
know that there is one person who will
make the difference in your classroom
success this semester…..
•YOU!!

Students who learn are the
finest fruit of teachers who
teach.
What is the finest fruit of
teacher?

• A study reviewing student learning looked
at 11,000 pieces of research that spanned
over 50 years. It determined and ranked 28
factors that influence student learning. The
most important factor is….
Classroom Management

Harry Wong Says:
• The vast majority of the behavior problems in the
classroom are caused by the failure of students to
follow procedures and routines, which in turn are
caused by teachers who do not have procedures
and routines.
• Effective teachers MANAGE their classrooms
with procedures and routines.
• Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE their classrooms
with threats and punishments.

What is Classroom Management??
• Everything a teacher does to organize
students, space, time, and materials so that
instruction in content and student learning
can take place.
• If Pilots have flight plans, Coaches have
game plans, Executives have business plans,
then Effective teachers must have a
Classroom Management Action Plan.

Characteristics of a Well-Managed Classroom
Characteristics Ineffective Teacher Effective Teacher
1. High Level of
student involvement
Teacher is working. Students are working.
2. Clear Student
Expectations
Teacher says “Know
everything in Chapter 3.”
Teacher tells students
objective of lessons and
tests.
3. Little Wasted Time,
Confusion, of
Disruption
Teacher punishes according
to mood. Students always ask
what the assignment is.
Teacher has discipline plan
and posts assignments.
4. Work-Oriented Teacher tells but does not
practice procedures. Teacher
shout if face any prob.
Teacher practices
procedures until they
become routines and
knows how to bring class
to attention.

Seven things students want to
know on the first day.
• Am I in the right room?
• How is the faculty?
• Who is Head of Dept. ?
• Will the teacher treat me as a human being?
• What are the rules in this classroom?
• What will I be doing this semester?
• How will be internals?
• Shall I get any relaxation in attending class?

Don’t Forget that Smile
• Stand in front of students and make a eye
contact with big smile and a warm welcome.
Ensure the students are in the right place.
• Direct the students where to sit. If required.
• Show that you are efficient and competent as
a classroom manager and teacher. (First
Impression)

Proximity and Body Language
• Eye contact, facial expressions, gestures,
physical proximity to students, and the way
you carry yourself will communicate that
you are in calm control of the class and mean
to be taken seriously.
• Be free to roam
• Avoid turning back to class

Classroom Rules For Conduct
 Formalized statements that provide
students with general guidelines for the
types of behaviors that are required and
the types that are prohibited
 A few rules are easier to remember than
many rules
 Each rule in a small set of rules is more
important than each rule in a large set of
rules

A Businesslike Atmosphere
 Take advantage of the first days of
class
 Establish an environment in which
achieving specified learning goals
takes priority over other concerns
 It is much easier to establish this
environment from the beginning
rather than later

Every behaviour has a function.
So what are reasons for disruptive
behaviour in the classroom…
• Power
• Revenge
• Attention
• Disinterest or feelings of inadequacy

Functions of Behavior
 Many misbehaviors exhibited by students are
responses to a behavior exhibited by the teacher
 Do not tolerate undesirable behaviors no matter
what the excuse
 Understanding why a person exhibits a behavior
is no reason to tolerate it
 Understanding the function of a behavior will
help in knowing how to deal with that behavior

Dealing behaviors
 Remain focused and calm; organize thoughts
 Either respond decisively or ignore it all together
 Distinguish between off-task behaviors and off-
task behavior patterns
 Control the time and place for dealing with off-
task behavior
 Provide students with dignified ways to terminate
off-task behaviors
 A teacher should be aware about all policies.

The three most important student
behaviors that must be taught in
the first day of class:
1. Discipline
2. Procedures
3. Routines

Difference between Discipline and
Procedures
• Discipline concerns how students behave.
• Procedures concern how things are done.
• Discipline has penalties and rewards.
• Procedures have no penalties or rewards.
• ROUTINE: What the students do automatically.
(habit)
• Students readily accept a uniform set of classroom
procedures because it simplifies their task in
succeeding in college. It creates a predictable and
consistent environment.

Basically…..
• Procedures are a part of our everyday lives—
telephone book, airplanes, traffic lights,
texting.
• Teaching procedures is teaching expectations.
• Story of “The Power of Procedures Success”

Classroom procedures that MUST
become Routines
1. Beginning a class
2. Quieting a Class
3. Student seeking help
4. Movement of students and papers
5. End of Class

The Procedure for Teaching
Procedures
• Explain. State, explain, model, and
demonstrate the procedure.
• Rehearse. Rehearse and practice the
procedure under your supervision. (Must
DO!)
• Reinforce. Reteach, rehearse, practice, and
reinforce the procedure until it becomes a
student habit or routine. Give Praise.

A First Day of College Script
• Football coaches go into a game with a
script of their first 15 to 20 plays.
• Meeting and wedding coordinators have a
script of what needs to be done.
• And effective teachers have a script that
helps them to organize the first day or days
of college.
• Now its time to write yours…

Teaching with Love and Logic
• Use enforceable limits
Don’t make threat
• Provide choices within limits
The easiest student to boss around is the one
who thinks the teacher is reasonable and takes
control only when necessary.
• Apply consequences with empathy
Effective teacher apply consequences with
empathy and understanding as opposed to anger
and lecture
