Classroom Management
classroom management. I finally felt like I was running the show. Actually, whenI think back, the turning point was when I believed that I could teach them.

Extractions: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT As a teacher, you must work your hardest, but never at a disproportionate rate when compared to what your students are doing. I believed that I could teach them. The following year, those were most of the students that came back to say Hello. Twenty two years later, I still remember some of their names. There are different kinds of discipline problems in the classroom. One is the type I tried to describe above where the whole class is unruly and it's very hard to pinpoint who is creating the problem, so it's hard to single one person out. If you do single someone out, then she/he complains that it was someone else who started the problem. In situations like this, which are by far the worst for teachers, I would recommend the following steps (these are not in order-it all depends on the situation): 1) Look at yourself: Do you fully understand the material that you are teaching and have anticipated the problems that students may have? Are you presenting material that is too hard? Too easy? Are you connecting with your students? Do you have enough structure? Try having someone videotape your lesson. Are you presenting yourself as a firm but caring teacher? Are you engaging in mannerisms that give away that you are insecure? Students have an extra sense for this. If this is the case, try to relax and make time to get to know your students individually. 2) Are you allowing time to explain the new material? Or are you constantly going over homework for most of the period, barely having time to present the new lesson, assigning new homework at the last minute thus creating a cycle where students are truly frustrated? It's amazing how many veteran teachers fall into this pattern. Your timing may be off. Allow time to clearly present a lesson. Allow for practice in class. If time, allow them to start their homework in class and you can walk around helping them. You need time to find out what they need more help on.
Frederick Taylor In The Classroom:
Scientific management in the modern classroom does not respect the idea thatteachers know what to teach their students or how best to teach it.
http://radicalpedagogy.icaap.org/content/issue3_2/rees.html

Extractions: University of Southern Colorado By requiring the use of multiple-choice, standardized testing for assessment purposes, the federal and state governments are intruding upon the prerogative of teachers to teach what they want in the manner they see fit. These requirements echo the attempts of Frederick Taylor and other practitioners of what Taylor called "scientific management" to control industrial workers around the turn of the Twentieth Century. Forcing teachers to address content that can be measured in standardized tests and to avoid more analytical material hinders learning. Doing so also devalues the profession of teaching in the same way that scientific management devalued the role of skilled craft workers in American factories. TAAS (Texas Assessment of Academic Skills, the state-mandated achievement test) questions are released after each administration. Although there is a new version of the exam each year, one version looks a lot like another in terms of the types of questions asked, terminology and graphics used, content areas covered, etc. Thus, giving students instruction and practice on how to answer the specific types of questions that appear on the TAAS could very well improve their scores on this exam (Klein, et. al, 2000).

Teach For America: About Us: Recent Studies
about their lack of experience in the classroom and poor classroom management skills. fortheir schools and almost all would hire additional teach For America
http://www.teachforamerica.org/about/studies.html

Extractions: This report presents the results of the first independent evaluation of Teach For America teachers affect on student performance. CREDO, a research group based at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, conducted the evaluation in 2001 using data from the Houston Independent School District. The Houston Independent School District, the seventh largest district in the United States, enrolls about 210,000 students annually. Houston has recruited Teach For America teachers since 1993. A comparison with all other new teachers recruited during the same years revealed that Teach For America teachers were more likely to hold a Bachelors degree, were placed in more difficult classes (even within the same school), and were less likely to leave after the first year. Beyond their two-year commitment, many Teach For America teachers elected to remain in the classroom once their commitment was fulfilled. Study Design This study examined teacher performance using student and teacher data for the Houston Independent School District (HISD) for the period 1996 2000. Teach For America teacher performance was compared against two groups: 1) other new teachers who did not participate in Teach For America, and 2) all other teachers in the district, regardless of years of experience. The analysis examined two aspects of teaching and student achievement. First, it looked at the average performance of Teach For America teachers to see if these teachers affected student test scores differently than non-Teach For America teachers did. Second, it compared the best and worst Teach For America teachers against the best and worst non-Teach For America teachers to see if the degree of variation differed.

http://www.drdeanmooney.com/19classroom.htm

Extractions: 19 CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT TIPS Even the best-laid elementary school discipline plan can break down if teachers don't know the proper techniques for enforcing discipline in the classroom. And when that happens, learning suffers. You know classroom discipline is a key ingredient in effective instruction, and so do your teachers. But do they know that the right strategies, used at the right times, can help prevent classroom behavior problems - or at least nip them in the bud? These are strategies experienced teachers swear by - and we believe they'll work for all teachers. Of course, these strategies won't take the place of a systematic, school wide discipline plan that's fairly and firmly backed up by the principal. But used with such a plan, these simple strategies can cut down on the disruptions that all too often eat away at precious learning time. Here, then, are 19 helpful classroom management tips for you to pass along to your teachers: Establish respect for the teacher. Classroom management isn't effective unless students respect the teacher. And that means the teacher should be fair, loving, and consistent as well as being a good role model and a good teacher.

http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/futureteachers/time_management.htm

Extractions: Increasing Teaching Time You may have less time to teach than you think. Lunch, recess, breaks, down-time between lessons and activities, moving from one classroom to another, interruptions, and other periods of non-instructional time account for at least 27 percent of an elementary school day. In many classrooms, that figure climbs beyond 40 percent. Incredible as those statistics may sound, they have been confirmed by separate studies at the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development, and the former Institute for Research on Teaching at Michigan State University. Sure, lunch, recess, and restroom breaks are important. But too much teaching time is lost. Add to that the time that slips away when students stare out the window or are otherwise disengaged during instruction, and you get the point. Here are some ways beginners and veterans alike can substantially increase teaching time: Decrease the time allotted for breaks and social activities.

If a child is stealing all the time, it could be because a need is not being met. Could it be because they have no ownership of anything in their lives? Think about the underlying reasons for some of the misbehavior and try to think of solutions to meet the need. The child in my class stealing quit when I gave him something special to own.
