41. Students should define classroom management as the process of organizing and
conducting the business of the classroom relatively free of behavior problems. Students
should explain and discuss the purpose of classroom management as being to establish
and maintain the classroom environment so that educational goals can be accomplished.
Thus, the major purpose of classroom management is to provide a positive social and
physical environment conducive to the learning process.
42. Students should select one of the eight approaches presented in the text. These
approaches include reality therapy, Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET), inner
discipline, beyond discipline, the Kounin Model, the Jones Model, assertive discipline,
and behavior modification. Students should present a valid rationale or reason for the
approach they selected. However, some students might select an eclectic combination of
several approaches along with a valid rationale for making this selection. Students should
also discuss whether they would change their preference if they were to teach a different
grade level.
43. Students should present and discuss such steps as establishing credibility on the first day
by planning well. On that first day, learners should be occupied with some type of
activity with involvement at all times. Rules should be established and taught,
organizational structures shared, classroom procedures shared, and expectations
communicated. Students should also discuss the establishment of a classroom
environment that is conducive to effective management. Students should also discuss the
need to know students, the enforcement of rules, and the monitoring of the classroom.
Finally, students should present and discuss the rules and consequences they would
establish and whether they would involve students in the establishment of these rules and
consequences.
44. Students should discuss such preventive principles as planning well, establishing
routines, managing the classroom space, and establishing realistic and usable limits.
Students should note that well-planned lessons that involve the learners will usually curb
most management problems. Students should also note that a well-organized classroom
environment that is well-monitored will also curb most problems.
45. Students should discuss such steps as planning well, using time effectively, teaching at
the appropriate level of learners, and showing respect for learners. Planning well should
include, among other things, lesson planning that maximizes learner involvement and the
establishment and sharing of rules and consequences. Addressing these steps will usually
lead to the establishment of respect from learners, which should result in better
management.
