MANAGEMENT OF RELATIONSHIP

Refers to the emotional climate and communications

When considering classroom management, one must consider above all else the relationship of teachers
towards his/her students since the relationship of the teacher and the student will be the key to a
successful collaboration between teaching and learning.
So here are some techniques in terms of managing your relationship or the teacher’s relationship towards
the students.
1. First. Maintain positive climate characteristics which allow students to choose a variety of
activities to achieve common goals.
So, maintain positive classroom climate characteristics.
First things first, what is classroom climate? So, it refers to the prevailing mood, attitudes,
standards, and tone that you as a teacher and your students feel when they are in your classroom.
A positive classroom climate feels safe, respectful, welcoming, and supportive of student learning.
You can create a positive classroom climate by following the three “pieces” of the classroom
climate “pie:” first, development and reinforcement of classroom rules and norms that clearly
support safe and respectful behavior. Having this can give your students clear boundaries and
opportunities to practice self-regulation and make good choices. So, when they feel safe and
respected both emotionally and physically, they are able to focus better on learning. Second,
promoting positive peer relationships. Example, having class meetings. Where class meetings
provide a safe environment in which students can discuss with you and each other topics that are
important to them. And lastly, nurturing positive relationships with all students. By greeting them
and using warm, inclusive behaviors with your face, body, and words each day.
2. Develop sense of interdependence (mutuality), common bonds, defined group expectations and
relationship qualities that enhance wholesome emotional climate.
In order to that enhance wholesome emotional climate you need to be dependent upon one
another. have common bonds and mutual respect to your students by valuing their feeling. Be
honest towards one another. Encourage everybody to make the most of their talents or unique
talents.
3. Develop communication characteristics that promote wholesome classroom relationship like
positive, constructive conversations aimed at understanding on another's point of view.
As a teacher, you need to have good communication that promote wholesome classroom
relationship. Since, it helps improve relationships, increase understanding, and model positive
interactions towards others. Good communicator means delivering information in a clear and
constructive manner. Being a good listener, friendly and politely. That’s why, when you
communicate good and effectively, you can build a shared understanding and a good relationship
with the other person.
4. Render different forms of assistance by providing class meetings or students to have opportunity
to examine the ideas and feelings that influence value judgement.
Render different forms of assistance
Example just like what I said a while ago, class meetings which can be used to assist the class
about their ideas and thoughts which are used to provide students an opportunity to examine the
ideas and feelings that influence value judgments and decisions as well as the ways chosen to
fulfill them. Also, you can assist them by maintaining and encouraging a positive outlook; focus on
the good. Provide opportunities for small successes and then celebrate them. Give
assignments/tasks in small, manageable chunks. Acknowledge the students' feelings and their
lived experiences; incorporate student interests/experiences into lessons.

MANAGEMENT OF PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

This refers to the organization of the learning environment, supplies, and materials.
A well-maintained and safe physical environment of high-quality fosters positive attitudes and motivations
related to students' ability to learn, academic achievement, and prosocial behavior.
The term physical environment refers to the overall design and layout of a given classroom and its learning
centers. Teachers should design the environment by organizing its spaces, furnishings, and materials to
maximize the learning opportunities and the engagement of every child. To effectively do so, teachers can
apply a concept known as Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which stresses that the environment and its
materials in it should be accessible to everyone. Creating this accessibility might involve providing books
at different reading levels, placing materials within easy reach on a shelf, or creating ample space so that a
child who uses a wheelchair can maneuver around the classroom.
When they set out to design an effective physical environment, teachers should consider all of that
environment’s various aspects. Once they have selected child-sized, age-appropriate furnishings, teachers
should then think about each of the following
1. Organize supplies and materials for activities that occur frequently in most readily available
accessible place, and must be governed by the simplest procedure.
Keep frequently used teaching materials and student supplies readily accessible and make sure
that frequently used items are easy to access and clearly labeled with words and pictures.
Where, rarely used materials can be stored out of the way and only pulled out when necessary.
2. Rules must go with territory and insist on respect for them. Expectations regarding beginning
and end of class behavior must be clearly expressed.
Expectations and rules can help students to crack the code about the different ways to behave
in different settings. It is critical to focus on respect and relationships with all students. Teachers
should monitor their own behavior to make sure they are responding to children fairly and
consistently.
3. Avoid interruptions during class program
If a student or someone interrupts your class, calls out, or stands in front of you repeating your
name, don't respond. Because for every time you do that you create an avalanche of more of
the same behavior. To avoid this, you can use non-verbal cues like you’re warning them or speak
to them privately.
4. Arrange the physical setting and maximize visibility and accessibility.
You need to assemble design and layout of your classroom by organizing its spaces, furnishings,
and materials to maximize the learning opportunities and the engagement of every learner to
prevent problem behaviors before they occur. Such as slips, trips, and falls on classroom
premises.
5. Materials and equipment stations are available in sufficient quantities and are located to
minimize congestion in traffic lanes
6. Bulletin boards and wall spaces are used to display student work and complement current class
activities.
Bulletin board displays and wall spaces are creative ways to share information, enhance learning
or feature students' work, and foster community spirit. They are visually stimulating and
pleasing displays that quickly became a central focal point of any classroom or office. So, in a
classroom setting, you should develop or create creative bulletin boards since it can help
students keep track of what they have learned and help them make connections and develop
coherency between ideas, tasks and lessons.
7. Set explicit procedures for getting materials from and returning them to designated classroom
locations
example, you can print out a chart of procedures as a reminder. You can set up a routine for
lining in returning the materials used by your learners. Or set up some turn-in trays which allows
for more independence from your students and easy paper sorting for you. Example, you’re
collecting their assignments by calling them in an alphabetical order.
