Classroom Management Ideas and Questions

Effective classroom management requires a system in place that

encompasses all parts of teaching. It is not just a part of teaching.
Classroom management is everything.

Questions to think about:

1. How is my room setup?
2. Do I know where my students are at all times? Do I know in the room
where my target students are located?
3. Have I thought through who can sit next to whom? Where do I want
my students who need more attention or special seating?
4. Am I in proximity to key students when I teach? When they are doing
classwork?
5. How are my lessons? Are they engaging? Do they get students up
out of there seats and moving around? Do they engage students with
different styles of learning? Are students bored?
6. Am I clear with expectations? Do I repeat them often (daily)?
7. Do I follow through with rewards and consequences? Am I doing so
fairly across all students?
8. Am I keeping transitions quick and to a minimum? Have I talked
through expectations in transition times?
