WORKSHOP GOALS
Our goal for this workshop is to investigate strategies for
planning, organizing, and structuring our classrooms to
maximize student success.
We will examine effective classroom management strategies
through an overview of Harry Wong’s
THE First Days of School,
and work towards implementation in order to create an
environment conducive to
student learning and achievement.
Ben Franklin
(and an ancient Chinese proverb) said
“Tell me and I will forget,
teach me and I will remember,
involve me and I will learn.”
28 FACTORS GOVERNING
STUDENT LEARNING
Listed in rank order:
1. Classroom Management
2. Instructional/Learning process
3. Parental and home support
Effective teachers spend the first two weeks teaching students to be in control of their
own actions in a consistent classroom environment

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
IS NOT
DISCIPLINE
• Discipline plans have rules
• Classroom management plans have procedures
• A procedure is a method or process for getting things done
• Procedures simplify the task of succeeding at school
• No learning takes place when you discipline
• Learning takes place only when a student is at work
DISCIPLINE concerns how students BEHAVE.
PROCEDURES concern how things ARE DONE.
DISCIPLINE HAS penalties and rewards.
PROCEDURES HAVE NO penalties or rewards.
