If you\u2019ve ever walked into a great teacher’s classroom, you\u2019ve probably noticed how well they manage the classroom environment. That\u2019s no accident \u2014 it\u2019s all about effective classroom management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside your lesson plans and decisions about classroom supplies, one of the best things you can do at the start of the school year is to develop a classroom management plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 ways good classroom management helps your entire class<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Classroom management is essential because it helps you to keep classroom behavior in check and your students on task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It sets clear expectations for student behavior.<\/strong> One of the elements of a well-managed classroom is clear expectations about how students should behave. Creating a set of classroom rules at the start of the school year can set these expectations for positive behavior. Even kindergarten classrooms can have a simple set of rules<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. It sets out how to deal with misbehavior.<\/strong> Once you have created your rules, you can also make it clear how inappropriate behavior will be dealt with. Although working through behavior problems by modeling and focusing on good behavior and using positive reinforcement is always preferable, sometimes you need to intervene. Your classroom management strategy should include ideas to deal with individuals being disruptive and whole class misbehavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. It creates a more positive learning environment.<\/strong> Although you might still get some disruptions, effective classroom management helps to reduce these incidents and encourage more positive behavior. This creates more student engagement and a better learning experience. For example, research<\/a> shows that greeting students at the door can increase engagement and decrease negative behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It improves student learning and academic success.<\/strong> Research by Robert and Jana Marzano<\/a> shows that \u201cteachers’ actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies regarding curriculum, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement.\u201d That makes effective teaching and creating a positive classroom environment all the more important.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. It makes it easier for you as a teacher.<\/strong> Teaching can be stressful and research has shown that teachers report classroom management as one of the most concerning aspects of teaching<\/a>. If you have a clear classroom management plan and a range of effective instructional strategies in your pocket, then you can be a more effective teacher. Knowing exactly how you will tackle each day in class can also help reduce your stress levels because you already have plans in place not only for learning activities but also for dealing with issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
