Have a Positive Attitude
It may seem like a simple concept, but there are many teachers that do not approach their students, with a positive attitude on a day to day basis. Students will feed off of a teacher’s overall attitude. A teacher who teaches with a positive attitude will often have students who have positive attitudes.  A teacher who has a poor attitude will have students who reflect this and are difficult to manage in class. When you praise your students instead of tearing them down, they will work harder to please you. Build on the moments when your students are doing things the right way and the bad moments will decrease.

02)

Set Your Expectations Early

Do not go into the school year trying to be your students’ friend. You are the teacher, and they are the students, and those roles should be clearly defined from the beginning. Students need to be aware at all times that you are the authority figure. The first day of school is one of the most important in how your classroom management experiance, will go throughout the year.  Start out extremely tough with your students, and then you can back off some as the year goes along. It is important that your students know from the beginning what your rules and expectations are and who is in charge.

03)

Develop a Good Rapport With Your Students

Even though you are the authority in the classroom, it is extremely important to build an individual relationship with your students from the beginning. Take the extra time to find out a little about each student likes and dislikes.  Getting your students to believe that you are there for them and have their best interest in mind at all times will make it easier for you to discipline them when they make a mistake.  Seek out activities and methods to gain your students trust. Students can tell if you are fake or if you are genuine. If they smell a fake, then you are going to be in for a long year.

04)

Have Clearly Defined Consequences

It is important that you establish consequences for your classroom within the first few days. How you go about that is up to you. Some teachers set the consequences themselves and others have the students assist with writing the consequences so that they take ownership of them. Establishing the consequences of poor choices early on sends a message to your students by putting to paper what will happen if they do make a poor decision. Each consequence should be clearly stated in that there is no question as to what will happen per offense. For a percentage of your students, simply knowing the consequences will keep students from making poor choices.

05)Stick to Your Guns

The worst thing that a teacher can do is not to follow through with the rules and consequences that you have set early on. Staying consistent with your student discipline approach will help in keeping students from repeating offenses. Teachers who do not stick to their guns often enough are the ones that struggle with classroom management. If you consistently do not follow through on your student discipline, then students will lose respect for your authority and there will be problems. Kids are smart. They will try everything to get out of being in trouble. However, if you give in, a pattern will be established, and you can bet it will be a struggle to get your students to believe that there are consequences for their actions.

Wrapping It Up
Every teacher must develop their own unique classroom management plan. The five strategies discussed in this article serves as a good foundation. Teachers must remember that any successful classroom management plan includes having a positive attitude, setting expectations early, building rapport with students, having clearly defined consequences, and sticking to your guns.

According to research from 2006, teachers overwhelmingly reported a lack of professional development support when it came to improving their own classroom management strategies. This can lead to confusion for students and frustration for teachers.When students clearly understand what’s expected of them, they’re more likely to be focused and engaged with their lessons. Some tips for building a positive environment include:

Model ideal behaviour: Clearly explain proper behaviour, and then follow it yourself.

Encourage initiative: Allow students to actively participate in the learning process with class discussions and exercises that support initiative.

Avoid collective punishment: While it can be difficult, make a point of calling out disruptive behaviours on an individual, not collective, basis.

Behaviour management is vitally important within the classroom. It is not just about punishing unwanted behaviour or even rewarding desired behaviour. Rather it is about having strategies in place to support children to behave in ways that help them gain the most from their schooling.
