Which are some tips for
managing a class?
Establish consequences
for misbehaving.
Once students learn there will be consequences
for misbehaviour, they usually come around.
Follow through with
consequences for
misbehaviour. Show
students that you are
serious and they will
take you seriously.
Tell students that there will be
consequences for misbehaviour.
Determine what
consequences will be
effective with your
students.
Keep an eye on
your students.
Class goes so much better when you can see your
students. Position your so that most, if not all of
the class is visible.
Give incentives to Do
their best on assignments.
Its a strategy to elicit better performance
on an undergraded assignment. In most
cases, students will work for peer approval
by doing the assignment.
Let students choose
their seats.
At the beginning, let students sit where
they want for a few days, doing this, they
have ¨ownership¨ in those seats and tend to
behave well in order to avoid being moved.
Focus on the disruptive
students.
If students are not paying attention
or busy doing other things, get them
focus by using nonverbal signals of
disapproval.
Take charge of
your class.
Get everyone's attention before beginning class.
The lesson wont be started, the lecture
wont begin, and nothing will be written until
everyone is in his or her seat paying attention.
