Area 1: Brief Explanation, Thesis Statement and Outline

In years recent, pull-out services have become more prevalent in special education and inclusive classrooms. Whether students are spending time outside of the classroom with support staff in occupational therapy, receiving counseling services, or working with a speech therapist, time spent outside the classroom has caused teachers to re-evaluate their planning and devise their classroom schedules in a way that limits disruption and loss of instruction in the classroom. In special education and inclusive classrooms, teachers are required to find way to build time spent out of the classroom into their daily schedules; with the ensuing push for mathematics and literacy instruction in the classroom, teachers are finding it increasingly difficult to plan for blocks of whole group instruction. Thus, pull-out services creates challenges for teachers to manage their daily classrooms.
In regard to classroom management, much of the research cites effective classroom management as the tool or the blueprint for an effective classroom. One article refers to classroom management as a master plan for success, creating “an air traffic control analogy” to explain the extent of the impact of classroom management on student and teacher success (Mundschenk, Miner, & Nastally 2011, p. 98). Classroom management is critical in the classroom because it provides the framework of the classroom and influences how things are run. In most cases, classroom management pertains to “setting limits”, help students “monitor their behavior and academic progress” through feedback, and establish “safety and transition routines”-- all helpful tools to help both teachers and students become successful in the clas...

  • A Critical Review Of Englehart's Five Half-Truths About Classroom Management

    A critical review of Englehart, J. (2012). Five half-truths about classroom management. Clearing House, 85 (2), 70-73. This article is about the assumptions many teachers make about classroom management. Classroom management is a very personal matte to a lot of teachers and often “opportunities for better classroom management are missed by many teachers because relevant details are missing from their foundational belief system, and they assume that they are operating under a comprehensive understanding of the situation” (2012. p.70). This article focuses on five “half-truths”, or important exceptions and considerations that some teachers overlook and discusses them individually. For each of the “half-truths” the basic premise is identified, followed by the remaining reality, which is often over looked by teachers, but just as important. The five “half-truths discussed in the article are: you have to be a good manager before you can be a good teacher, different things work for different people, managing student behaviour just boils down to clearly communicating and consistently enforcing boundaries, it’s all about relationships and finally not much can be done with changing the

    In the role as an observer, the classroom was well-managed. This is on the basis that there was no need for the use of physical control cues, for example nods and eye contact among others and verbal control cues like orders, commands, scold among others. Also, it was observed that no students wandered about the classroom. Second, the students were actively engaged, which resulted in an optimal learning environment which aided in the management of the classroom. My view is congruent to that of Miller (2015), which stated that, “once students are engaged in the classroom, then management issues will dissipate.” Third, students sharing in the management of the classroom were seen in the role conducted by the class monitors. According to Jones & Jones (2005), “Glasser states that students will function productively only in

    Decades ago, a world – renown educational philosopher, Harry K. Wong defined classroom management as, “the practises and procedures that allow teachers to teach and students to learn” (Starr, 2005). Harry K. Wong also describes that classroom managements is something that refers to all of the necessary things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so that learning can occur efficiently. This management includes fostering students’ full participation, plus their overall commitment and contribution in the productive classroom activities that are being carried out in the active working environment. Becoming a skilled and talented skilled classroom manager and facilitator allows a teacher to be adequately prepared in any kind of situation that may inhibit and affect the learning process of the students. Robert J. Marzano, in his book, The Art and Science of Teaching, states that, “Many studies have quantified the influence an effective teacher has on student achievement that is relatively independent of anything else that occurs in the school” (2007). This quotes implies that, a good effective teacher should possess characteristics likely making a good eye contact with students, enforces the rules consistently and regularly, teaches students the concept of consequences and responsibilities and countless more. Romano (2006) reported that approximately 20% of teachers leave the profession within their first three years of teaching service, and 9.3% leave before their first year is even completed due to the low self-esteem in managing the students disciplinary and behaviour problems. Apart from that the study research done by the Supervisor Prof. Fredrick Ogola in Kenya Secondary Education proves that the fi...

  • Reflection On Classroom Management And Withitness In The Restroom

    The last bit of management comes in the miscellany of classroom events such as bathroom management, taking attendance, misbehaviors, etc… In this regard I turn to Wong’s emphasis on having procedures in place that students are well versed in via teach, rehearse, reinforce. The goal is making the students self-aware of the class environment and reacting accordingly. An example of this will be my management of bathroom breaks in which only one student at a time is allowed to leave. Once student “A” asks to use the restroom student “B” knows to wait until student “A” has returned before asking to use the restroom. This “withitness” in the classroom will be pivotal in aiding my classroom management, and will showcase a sense of harmony amongst the class.

    In Chapter 5, “Getting Off to a Good Start, Emmer and Evertson assert that the major focus of the elementary teacher should be strengthening the students’ belief that school tasks are important and that the students’ can be successful at these tasks. It is important that teachers understand that classrooms do not magically become well-managed, rather teachers understand that the first few days of class will require explicit guidance and expectations of how students are to behave, interact, move, and perform within the classroom setting. Effective teachers plan for classroom management before actually beginning the school year and spend a significant amount of time ensuring the classroom management is understood by the students, generally accepted by the students, and practiced until they become routine. Most effective teachers understand devoting the first few days (or weeks) of the school year to classroom management has the potential to avoid many future problems. “The beginning of the school year is an

    Classroom management is the foundation of education at all levels. Optimal teaching and learning require an environment conducive to learning through structure, support, organization and guidelines. Classroom layout, routines and procedures as well as a carefully thought out discipline system are the core elements of my classroom management strategies. Lesson planning is also vitally important to ensuring engaged, motivated and on-task students, but even the most imaginative lesson plans can be ineffective in an unmanaged classroom. In my opinion, younger learners need more support and structure than the older students do, especially in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom where communication between the teacher and the students can be very

Therefore, teachers need to provide clear purpose and strong guidance regarding both academics and student behavior. Teachers and students need to collaborate as a team sharing concerns about the needs and opinions of others.

    I believe Classroom Management is the main component in the educational setting. I believe if students are in a safe environment, then learning can take place. This doesn’t mean punishing behavior problems but rather a combination of setting the tone in a class, preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging curriculums and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all students to learn is my major goal of implementing good classroom management--without it the students would not be able to learn.
