  2. 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.

  3. 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.”

  4. 28 FACTORS GOVERNING STUDENT LEARNING Listed in rank order: • Classroom Management • Instructional/Learning process • Parental and home support 28. Classroom demographics Study conducted by three researchers over a 50 year span. What Helps Students Learn? EducationalLeadership (December 1994/January 1994) The First Days of School, p. 80

  5. CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT • Classroom management refers to all of the things a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so student learning can take place • Management skills are crucial and fundamental • A well-managed classroom has a set of procedures and routines that structure the classroom Effective teachers MANAGE their classrooms Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE their classrooms The First Days of School, p. 82

  6. EFFECTIVE TEACHERS ARE READYThey have the room ready!positive work environment that is work-orientedThey have the work ready!desks, books, papers, assignments, and materialsThey have themselves ready!warm, positive attitude, and positive expectations The First Days of School, pg. 89

  7. ROOM ARRANGEMENTACTIVITY • As a group, develop a plan for arranging your classroom. • 1 teacher desk, 1 horseshoe table, a computer station, 20 student desks

  8. PREPARING FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL • Organize files, arrange, decorate • Imagine royalty is coming! • There is a place for everything • We teach readiness by modeling readiness • Equip yourself with a First Day Script READINESS IS THE PRIMARY DETERMINANT OF TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS The First Days of School, pg. 92

  9. FIRST DAY SCRIPT • Successful teachers have a script or a plan ready • Plan out every minute of your day • Know the names of your students • List dismissal procedures • Carry your script on a clipboard WHAT YOU DO ON THE FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL WILL DETERMINE YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR The First Days of School, p. 3

  10. CREATING YOUR FIRST DAY SCRIPT • Students begin arriving in the classroom at 7:20 (elementary) • Have an activity waiting at their desks to keep them occupied while you greet students/parents at the door • Labels are helpful for learning student names • Have a list of your students on your “clipboard” • Ask your parents to confirm afterschool pick-up…..have a form ready for them to fill-in, such as: HOW WILL YOUR STUDENT GET HOME? STUDENT PARENT NAME PICK-UP DAYCARE BUS#__ BAND?

  11. ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES • The first 2-3 weeks of school are critical • Introduce classroom procedures the first week • State your expectations • Employ procedures that create consistency • Create a slideshow of your procedures • Have students role-play procedures • Rehearse as necessary Effective teachers spend the first two weeks teaching students to be in control of their own actions in a consistent classroom environment The First Days of School, p. 176

  12. 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. The First Days of School, pg. 169

  16. BEST PRACTICE • Best Practice is a term used to describe “what works” in a particular situation or environment • Research, or scientifically-based • Integrated research and professional wisdom • Teachers believe all students can learn • Clearly articulated goals • Conditions for learning are modified and differentiated • Relevant learning that is engaging for all students • Positive, personalized relationships for all students Finding out about the students builds relationships, and is important in an effectively run classroom. The First Days of School, p. 68

  17. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • Classroom and individual mission statements • Classroom and individual measurable goals • Student-created ground rules • Classroom data center • Student data folders • Student-led conferences • Quality tools and PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) Learning occurs only when students are actively engaged and in control of their own learning.

  18. Effective teachers do what the research tells us is most effective. Effective teachers use proven, research-based practices.Why would you do otherwise? First Days of School, p. 30
