Management Strategies for Classroom

1. Maintain a Routine
Having a set routine is an important behavior management tool that helps to establish
guidelines and behavior expectations.

A routine ensures that students know what’s coming next, so you’ll spend less time giving
out instructions—freeing up time to do the real work.

Include the students in establishing a class schedule that works for everyone and give them
responsibility for some routine tasks.

Don’t leave out the notoriously disruptive students in your schedule—more often, a sense of
responsibility can help reduce behavior issues.

When a student starts to slide out of your planned routine, use non-verbal cues like hand
gestures to remind students of what they should be doing. Avoid verbal cues to keep the
lesson flow uninterrupted.
2. Set Rules Together With Students
Just like a routine, rules help improve student behavior. However, if the classroom teachers
set the rules themselves, the class may reject them.

That's why it's important to have an audience with your class to help set the rules.

When children take ownership of the rules, peer pressure works in your favor to enforce
them and improve behavior management.

Also, have a guideline for how infractions will be dealt with. These guidelines help remove
the feeling of being punished, so students will know what to expect when they’re called out
about their behavior.

Remember to enforce the guidelines impartially and consistently. If you slack on the
enforcement even once, you create a loophole that everyone will want to take advantage of.

It's also important to remember not to discipline the whole class for one student's infractions.
For example, disrupting class proceedings to deal with one student. This will likely alienate
the whole class, who will feel wrongfully punished.

3. Create Stimulating Lessons

Imagine sitting through a meeting where the facilitator drones on for hours on end. You will
probably start fiddling with your keys or just zone out right in the middle of it.

That's exactly how students feel when lessons aren’t exciting. Monotonous classes are sure
to bring out the worst in your students. To get rid of bad behavior, make your class activities
as exciting and stimulating as possible.
Structure your activities to engage and involve your learners throughout the lesson. Strive to
allow your students to uncover knowledge with practical activities.

Most importantly, vary your teaching methods, use plenty of aids, and make the work as
interactive and fun as you can.

You can draw the attention of younger students by incorporating games and using plenty of
actions in your learning time. With older students, try to stay relatable, for example, by
referencing modern music or movies.

Negative language has a way of reinforcing the wrong behavior. Typically, kids like to do
what they are told not to do. So, rather than create a vicious cycle of behavior challenges,
use positive language.

For example, instead of saying, “Stop throwing those paper airplanes,” you can say instead,
“Can we all focus and pay attention, please.”

Positive language makes the students feel respected, leading to better behavior.

Plus, positive language will encourage the kids to start speaking positively. For example,
instead of saying, “This work is too hard for me,” they will begin to say, “I can try my best.”

It's also important to keep your body language positive. Smile more and frown less often.
Model the behavior you want to see in your students. Studies have shown that students
learn from the language and behavior that educators display.

Some of the outcomes of positive language approaches include:

A safe learning environment

A sense of responsibility
Self-discipline
Self-motivation
5. Develop a Relationship With Your Students
Get to know your students individually. Take time to find out their interests and dislikes. If
your lessons are centered around what the learners like, you will find it easier to keep them
engaged.

Also, knowing your students will help you identify some triggers for behavioral problems. For
example, if a student suddenly starts lashing out and talking over you in a lesson, they may
be going through some personal problems at home or facing issues like bullying at school.

If you know a bit about the child, you may be able to figure out the root of the problem.
Instead of punishing the bad behavior, you can talk to the student or point them in the
direction of help; for example, get them to see the school counselor.

One way of developing a good relationship with your class is by speaking positively about
them to their parents and administrators.
