3. Being a teacher is a tough job, and
working with children can be
overwhelming at times. But what sets
apart a good teacher for a great
teacher is having that sixth sense when
it comes to classroom management.
Know what works, what doesn't work,
and which strategies are best for you.
Check out these proven tips that have
your classroom working more
efficiently and effectively.

4. Tip #1: Establish classroom
rules immediately and enforce
them consistently.

5. Establish rules on the first day of class
and make sure to follow through with
them. Create rewards for achievements
and consequences for poor behavior.
If you allow a student to get away
with acting up, you've opened the door
to misbehavior. It’s important in the
beginning of the year to enforce your
rules when you're building trust in your
students as the teacher.

6. Tip #2: Set logical rules
and consequences.

students as the teacher.

8. Tip #3: Use positive instead
of negative language.

9. As soon as you tell a student not to do something,
the first image in that person’s head is what you
said NOT to do. To avoid the middle some
subconscious, opt for positive language instead of
negative language. For Example:
“Be prepared” instead of “Don’t forget your pencil”
“Please shut the door quietly” instead of “Don’t
slam the door”
“Listen to peers and teachers” instead of “Don’t
talk in class”
Avoid the negative word punishments, and use the
word “consequences.”

10. Tip #4: Make your students
feel responsible for their
own learning environment.

11. Give your students responsibility for their
learning environment, this will get them
feeling responsible for their own learning.
Create rules together, encourage students
with leadership qualities to direct the in
class discussion. Walk around the classroom
while instructing to get everyone involved.
Ask students to “check” themselves, “Check to
make sure you are using your indoor voice”,
this sends the message that you can see the
students as individuals who are capable of
handling themselves.

12. Tip #5: Be
Organized

13. Structure, both within a lesson and
throughout the academic term, will help
your students stay on top of their work.
Write the day’s activities on the board
before class. Hand out a syllabus at the
beginning of the semester and stick to it.
During class, be prepared for each
ensuing activity; lag time waste both your
and your students’ time and introduces
apathy into the classroom.
