is one of the most feared parts of teaching for new
teachers. For the students, lack of effective classroom management
can mean that learning is
reduced in the classroom.
The Critical Role of the
Teacher as Classroom
Manager
Classroom management is one of the most important

roles played by teachers because it determines
teaching success.
Effective classroom managers are those who

understand and use specific techniques.

Rules and procedures should not simply be imposed on students. The proper
design of rules and procedures involves explanation and group input.
Explanation is important in helping the students to see the need for the rule

Consequence vs. Punishment
Consequences are viewed as an end result of a child’s
inappropriate act. That is, they should not be viewed as
something imposed, such as sanctioning, but rather as an
appropriate outcome for an inappropriate act.
Consequence vs. Punishment
Punishment, on the other hand, is punitive and/or
penal in nature. It does not necessarily serve a
learning purpose, but rather “gets even.” It sends
the wrong message. Children are in school to learn.
Part of learning is making mistakes, both academic and
social.
Teacher-Student
Relationships
• Important to the success of two of the other aspects of effective
classroom management – rules and procedures, and disciplinary
interventions.
• It is important to communicate appropriate levels of dominance and
to let students know that you are in control of the class and are willing
to lead.
• It is also important to communicate to convey the message that you
are interested in the concerns of the students and individuals and the
class as a whole.
Teacher-Student
Relationships
• Students with good relationship with the teacher accept more readily
the rules and procedures and the disciplinary actions that follow their
violations.
• Teachers should be effective instructors and lecturers, as well as
friendly, helpful, and congenial. They should be able to empathize with
students, understand their world, and listen to them.
• The nature of an effective teacher-student relationship is one that
addresses the needs of different types of students.
Classroom Arrangement
As Fred Jones, a noted
classroom management expert,
explains:
“A good classroom seating
arrangement is the cheapest
form of classroom management.
It’s discipline for free.”
How to achieve proper seating
arrangement?
Students should be seated where their attention is directed toward the teacher.
Students should be able to clearly see chalk board, screens, and teacher.
Students should be seated facing the front of the room and away from the
windows.
Classroom arrangements should be flexible to

accommodate a variety of teaching
Styles
authoritative style
is characterized by behavioral principles, high expectations of appropriate
behaviour, clear statements about why certain behaviours are acceptable
and others not acceptable, and warm student teacher relationships.
authoritarian style
tends to be characterized by numerous behavioural regulations, is often
seen as punitive and restrictive, and students have neither a say in
their management, nor are they seen to need explanations; the teacher's
character is sometimes perceived as being cold, even punishing.
Classroom Management Styles
permissive style
is characterized by a lack of involvement, the environment is
non-punitive, there are few demands on students, and there is a
lot of freedom.
indulgent style
presents an environment where there are no demands on the
student of
any sort, and the students are actively supported in their efforts
to seek their own ends using any reasonable means.
Research has shown that the type of
management style used results in characteristic
behaviours.
The authoritative style helps to produce students who are socially

competent and responsible.
The authoritarian style helps to produce students who are ineffective
at social interaction, and somewhat inactive.
Both indulgent and permissive styles help to produce students that
are immature, show poor self-restraint, and who exhibit poor
leadership skills.
What type of classroom
management style are you
implementing in your
teaching?
