Classroom Management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class. According to the article, it is important that classroom management is implemented because it enhances prosocial behaviour and increases student academic engagement. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behaviour. According to Bru (2006), Students’ behaviours are influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning.
There were several disruptive classroom behaviours identified in the article but I will only be focusing on two of these problems. Disruptive behaviours can be defined as any behaviour that hampers the ability of instructors to teach or students to learn. These problems are vandalism in the classroom and unauthorized talking in the classroom. Disruptive behaviour in the classroom can negatively affect the classroom environment as well as the educational experience for students enrolled in the course. Disruptive behaviour tends to negatively affect the classroom environment as well as the educational experience for students enrolled in the course.
Vandalism is referred to the destruction of or damage to public or someone’s property deliberately. Vandalism in
Even though teachers are protected by the First Amendment they must avoid speech that creates a negative impact on decorum. "Free speech by teachers, however, is limited to the requirement that such speech does not create a material disruption to the educational interest of the school district" (Essex, 2012, p. 204). Material disruption "may involve an interference with the rights of others or may involve speech that creates a negative impact on proper school discipline and decorum"(Essex, 2012, p.
As a result, the readers of the book benefited a lot from this book since it exposes the professionals who carried out the project as Dr. Patricia M. Greenfield, Ms. Blanca Quiroz, and many others were are notable in their work. Furthermore, it brings out the issue of schools demographics and contexts and, more importantly, help them apply the approach brought in the project on how to deal with classroom organization management. The fascinating thing about this book is the breakdown of the Bridging Culture Project, which assists a lot in understanding the issue of classroom management. Next time I happen to teach in a classroom, I will be very carefully about the class organization because this is the starting point of success in class and is very true to say that class management is all about creating a friendly environment for continuous learning to take place. I will rightly start by studying every student in my classroom and more specifically his or her culture then proceed to bridge the gap between the culture and the instruction that I give in
Therefore, we already present two possibly considerably hurdles that fortunately the majority of children manage to overcome smoothly. This is somewhat due to the management of their learning environment and the creation of a warm, positive and encouraging ethos. However, as we know not all children react in the same way to situations and It is clear that when teaching a class of children of any age how disruptive behaviour can negatively impact all involved, leading to the need of a program of positive behaviour strategies that is followed consistently throughout a school.
The Rhetoric of Destroying Property Destruction of property is often seen as an immoral act and can result in legal consequences such as fines or imprisonment. As a result, there is frequently a lot of controversy and ethical disagreements around the act when it is done as a form of protest. Beyond the ethical considerations of destruction of property, it is also important to consider the rhetorical objectives of those who commit the act. Those who commit destruction of property to protest employ it as a means of expressing discontent, anger, and frustration with the status quo. The intentional damaging, destroying, or defacement of someone else’s property without permission can be a bold and a visible form of protest that can draw attention
I have learned that as an educator I need to be there for my students, protect them, and care for them as my own children. I learned about certain strategies and techniques I can use in the classroom. We discussed how important it is to prevent misbehavior in the classroom. Some prevention strategies I learned are; to plan and anticipate, have high expectations, focus on the relationships with your students, do not give up on students who have a label. These techniques will assist me as a teacher to prevent misbehavior and to have a good classroom management.

In the article, Developing a Classroom Management Plan Using a Tiered Approach, Sayeski describes a classroom management plan by using the response-to intervention method.
Throughout this essay I will be explaining how a behaviour policy supports teachers and how it can also create an effective learning environment. I will also be highlighting any issues which could potentially arise from the use of a behaviour policy. A behaviour policy is guidance for members of staff within a school on how to deal with different behaviours, and sets out the expectations of behaviour for all children at the school. If a behaviour policy is written well it will support the formation of an effective learning environment. An effective learning environment for young children is an environment in which all children feel able to express themselves freely, allowing them to learn effectively.
Classroom management is directly tied to the level of students’ involvement and academic achievement (Kirk, 2010). Behavior management focuses on decreasing the amount of time students display disruptive behaviors so students can achieve academically. There are three effective strategies for effective classroom management. They include, proactive classroom management through praise, consistent consequences and punishments, and positive interaction between teacher and students (Kirk, 2010). Teachers teach students their behavior expectations by teaching them to follow a set of specific rules so they are aware of their expectations in the classroom.
Education has always been an important tool that everyone seeks to better their lives in the future. Many see positive effects of schooling, one of which, students become more educated than they previously were. Education has an environment where students are encouraged to be tutored, socially interactive, and express extracurricular activities. Though many schools do have these aspects, these are not the only things that make up schools. One of which that many forget that crucially affect students is the class environment.
Classroom discipline model developed by Lee Canter in 1987 (Newman, 2013). The main focus was to allow teachers to teach children in an environment where they "have a right to learn and a right to have a classroom free from behavior disruption to their learning" (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011, p.464). Canter also puts a lot of emphasis on positive reinforcement. Canter states: Example 2: Recognizing positive behavior.
Misbehaviour results from four major causes or mistaken goals. Democratic teaching, logical consequences and encouragement, rather than praise. The reaction of teachers to students' misguided goal-seeking behavior can be instrumental in either reducing or increasing the incidence of misbehavior in the classroom. Avoiding these discipline problems depends to some degree on teachers' personalities.
SAFETY INSIDE THE CLASSROOM Safety is an issue that concerns both the educators and students, especially when violent outbursts or incidents committed by students such as hair pulling, spitting, kicking, punching, and verbally-abusing are being reported to be happening inside classrooms. As surreal as it may seem, these things do happen in schools and most of the time the teachers are the ones who suffer the most. In an incident that took place in Conners Elementary School in 2013, it was reported by Paul Takahashi from the Las Vegas Sun, that a restraining order has been filed against an eight-year-old boy who was identified as having special needs after he threatened a classmate with scissors and physically attacked her. It was also reported that he had attacked other students and teacher.
Educators have always rated discipline as one of the most serious obstacles to promoting effective teaching. Proper Classroom management leads to class control and conducive teaching learning environment. According to Evertson and Weinstein (2006) Classroom management has two distinct purposes: “It not

Clear expectations should be set from the first day of school and constantly be reinforced throughout the year. The classroom rule should be visually displayed for students. Teachers need to take social and emotional factors of students into consideration when it comes to behavioural classroom management. Element 3.2.1 -
