Classroom management techniques

Ask a teacher what would be their worst nightmare and they’d say a class which they are unable to control, or a class which refuses to follow instructions. Of course every teacher has their unique way of classroom management, but it is important to understand how to maintain discipline while at the same time, provide an environment where students can thrive and learn.
Here are some tips which teachers can use to provide a conducive learning environment.

#1: Be consistent
One thing which teachers get accused of frequently by students is partiality. “But when he did it, you did not say anything” is an oft heard and oft repeated statement. The key to combat this is consistency. A good way to start is to communicate and lay down a few ground rules right at the beginning of term like establishing classroom rules for expected behaviour and promoting and sticking to those rules.
To further ensure clarity, have it in written form where students and you can access it freely.

#2: Dealing with difficult children
Every class has students who look for ways to disrupt your equilibrium or the class’ flow. A good way to deal would be to give such students more responsibilities, giving them a chance to answer questions, etc. Keep them involved so that they don’t resort to disruption.

#3: Disciplining by reinforcing positive behaviour
Avoid disciplining a student in the middle of class. Speak to them separately, telling them clearly what you did not like and what they can do differently. Children respond better when they are told what to do rather than what not to do. Affirmative statements will also ensure other students can learn via example.

#4: Be prepared for class
Students also tend to get restless when the subject you are teaching is not engaging enough. Take time to prepare for class. If a particular chapter is too difficult, break it down into smaller chunks to make it easier. If a chapter is too simple, you can teach it by having a discussion in class, followed by a report.
Following these simple steps will ensure your students and you have a good learning experience and you are able to teach what you had earmarked for that particular day.

Joys of Reading

Have you walked through the hallowed halls of the school library and been captured by that magical sight? Have you walked through the school corridors, a book clutched in hand because you just cannot part with it? Do you consider books to be portals to unknown worlds?

Can you imagine the smell of a freshly printed book? Or the musty smell of an old library book? Have you borrowed a book from the school library, seen names written on it and wondered who these people were?

If yes, you are a book lover and we congratulate you. If not, you are missing out on one of life’s greatest joys! Waiting for the summer vacations so you can start on that pile of books you have accumulated on your bedroom shelf; discussing with friends who is your favourite character and arguing over who will survive and who won’t, swapping books, reading every article and Facebook post that has the word ‘books’ in them, introducing friends to new genres, being introduced to new authors…no list can adequately enumerate the joys of reading.

Apart from the sheer joy of buying a new book and exploring the world that a writer creates, reading provides some essential tools, which can help students learn skills for their day-to-day activities.
If you have trouble writing reports or essays, reading books is exactly what you need. It not only provides you with some superb plot points, character sketches and story flow, but also exposes you to different writing styles, vocabulary and story drivers. You can explore non-fiction to hone your skills in information gathering and research.
Another advantage of reading is the exposure you get without having to move from your place! It exposes you differing worldviews and points of views, and helps you gain new perspectives.

To all the book lovers, keep exploring, keep reading. To all the non-book lovers, take a trip down the school library more frequently. Think of it as a magical land, full of secrets and gifts, patiently waiting for you to unwrap and discover its secrets. It is one journey you will always remember.
