Dear reader.
Some of the new teachers asked for tips on classroom management, and I summarised it in six points.
1) Say/do nothing
Sometimes students want to attract our attention, and we should not give it to them if it is unnecessarily disruptive.
However, it may give the impression that we approve of a misbehaviour.
2) Say something or scold
Students need to be reminded or counselled sometimes.
However, if we are not careful, we may sound foolish and lose credibility with the class.
3) Involve the parents
Some students may give more weight to what their parents say.
However, much of it depends on the stakeholder's cooperation.
4) Suspend student from lessons
Misbehaving students may need some time to cool off.
However, such a measure would deprive the student of the lesson.
5) Restrict privileges
Some students are motivated extrinsically.
However, it is dependent on whether privileges are given in the first place.
6) Corporal punishment
This is only used as a last resort.
That's all I have for now.
Regards,
Reuben
