A basic principle
Concentrate on what you
can do, and do that well

Before classes start

Preparation
A tour of the school and all the rooms you are likely
to teach in
Take notes of the seating arrangements, power
points, light switches etc.

Get your mark book organized

Plan for trouble !

The ideal is for the teacher to get to

the classroom before the students do
As soon as pupils move into the
room, they should see instructions,
the pupils will get into the habit of
looking and getting busy

A second basic principle

It is not what the teacher is doing that
matters
Busy students are less disruptive

The first lesson : seating

plans
Establish your dominance
Knowing names, and knowing who is
seated where gives you power

A solution to the problem of

noise
One key to achieving silence is to name
the students still talking
Start loud then slowly reduce the teacher
volume
BUT , silence rarely lasted long. So, keep
the students busy learning
to keep to a minimum the activities requiring
silence from the whole class

Relationships are very

important
Dr. Peter Robinson : teaching is all
about relationships not just with the
pupils and other teachers, but also
with the caretakers and the cleaners

Disruptive pupils
Traditional way : move disruptive pupils
either to the front row, or into the four
corners of the room
BUT , some classes have more than four
trouble makers
Move disruptive pupils at the back
Some gain power through others watching

Oh no, I never fail a

teacher who asks for
help
You see, it is the
stubborn teacher who will
not listen whom I
sometimes have to fail. If
you carry on, you will
become a good teacher.
