Classroom Management

Pedagogy
Note: Developing effective classroom management skills and building classroom environment is an ongoing process for me, so this area will likely be updated with useful resources I find as well as with reflections from my education blog.

Setting the Stage:
Classroom Contract
Explicit Teaching of Rules (Example: late students must pick up a late slip from office every time)
Positive Classroom Discipline (Example: praise students who are demonstrating appropriate behaviour, rather than picking on students who disturb the class)
Establish Routine (Example: set up instructions at the beginning of class, go over agenda before teaching, etc.)
Talk to Target Students Before Class
During Class:
Follow Through (i.e. keep consequences consistent)
Write Names on Board
Aside Conversations
Proximity
Follow Up:
Talk with Student
Consequences (Examples: cleaning lab equipment, helping teacher prepare materials for next class)
Talk with Counselor
Contact Parents
