- 8. 1.Plan and Plan and Plan You have to know exactly what you are going to do next. Dead time while you are shuffling through textbooks or notes trying to find the right page or choose an activity is the perfect time for students to get distracted and start misbehaving. 2. Working with teacher assistants Teacher assistants (TA) can help teacher to control over the class and giving study works to students.
- 10. 3. Establish routine and be strict about the discipline and rules. Routines are one of the most important things to have in terms of maintaining order in the classroom, and when we are established it we have to work on it strictly. But it doesn’t mean that you have to be a mean teacher.
- 11. 4. Organizing and Managing your times Prepare the class with a clear structure and set of expectations and communicate those to the students.
- 12. 5. Divide the class into teams Having funs, competitive environment can help motivate students by rewarding points for the quietest team, best behavior, or fastest to finish their work.
- 13. 6. Give students chance to participate In a large classroom, it’s easy for quieter students to fade into the background while the more outgoing ones answer the questions and participate too much.
- 15. 7. Establish a rapport Teacher should be friendly to students and find ways to remember students’ name otherwise, teacher should speak with students as much as they enter the classroom. Such efforts often result in a better rapport between teacher and students, and as a consequence, a more engaged classroom.
- 16. 8. Be patient and affirmative with students in classroom These behaviors can bolster student confidence, and more confident students are much more likely to participate in class. Many students will shut down in a class when they perceive an instructor as harsh. In such cases, the fear of instructor disapproval become more pronounced.
- 17. 9. Theater setting A seating arrangement that feels more like a theater than a class induces students passivity.
- 18. 1. Use technology in and out classroom
- 20. Large classes are perceived as difficult to engage students. However, the basic level of engagement with students is the same across all class sizes. The focus is on engaged teaching and active learning.
- 21. 1. Work on the relationship between teacher and students Get to know your students by name Show them you are human Set a task and wander around the class Help students feel 'at home‘ Agree the ground rules Try to understand how your students think Encourage self-reflection: Have a change of activities/pace Raise reflective questions Use your tutors:
- 22. 2. Feedback Get informal and formal feedback from students to get their views Minute paper
- 23. 3. Encourage communication between the students Social networking Make it a requirement to know the names of those sitting next to you. Encourage students to talk to someone else in the class Think-Pair-Share exercises Raise questions Mini quiz
- 24. 4. Punishment Punishment is the act of inflicting a consequence or penalty on someone as a result of their wrongdoing, or the consequence or penalty itself. Restrict students to do something limitedly, otherwise student will be punished.
- 25. 5. Motivation A force or influence that causes someone to do something. Encourage students about the benefit of learning and what they will get back from their hardship. Give Students any Successful Experiences related to learning to Persuade students in positive way.
- 26. 6. Dealing with the specific problem Define the nature and scope of problem. Identify the cause of problem and the best solution.
