Classroom management style

Classroom climate is closely associated with learning environment and it is seen as a major
factor of classroom behavior and learning. Recent research findings suggest strong relationship
between classroom climate and students’ school achievement. Classrooms which are
characterized by greater cohesion and goal-direction, lesser extent of disorganization and
conflicts, offer better opportunities for learning and consequently students become successful
(Adelman & Taylor, 2005). Mutual respect and understanding are also the essential element of
classroom climate that represents stimulating learning environment (Miller & Pedro, 2006). This
is the way to create open minded classroom climate, where students are ready to exchange ideas
and explore new learning content.

“Well, I really like to approach classroom management proactively.” Proactive classroom

management involves thinking about ways to head off problems before they even begin. Other
three important points I take seriously as well is that of

Firstly, I plan active, engaging lessons that relate to students’ interests, so they are motivated
from the get-go. Highly-motivated students have fewer reasons to misbehave. Secondly, I have
clear, consistent expectations with clear, consistent consequences. When students know what is
expected of them up-front, they are less likely to test boundaries, as they already know what the
consequences will be. Lastly, I have consistent routines that are communicated in a variety of
ways. When students know exactly what to do upon entering the classroom, watching a demo, or
cleaning up, they feel at ease. Routines create structure and a feeling of security for students, so
they are less likely to act out. Talking about how I will actually stop problems before they start is
a simple and effective way to answer that loaded classroom management question.
