Change Your Classroom Management - It’s Not Too Late
It might be the 10th or the 100th day of school and you need to make changes to your classroom management routines and procedures. But how do you do it so you don’t lose face and the transition from what didn’t work into a fresh start works for you and your students?
Change happens all the time in a classroom. Building a bridge from what was to what will be is the topic for the day. I’ve had to tweak and rethink lots of classroom routines, procedures, schedules, lesson plans, behavior plans, professional plans.
Let me take you through the steps I used to make it run smoothly.

I LOVE how you do not make other students feel responsible for someone else’s behavior! That is GOLD! ❤❤❤❤❤

I have come to find your page due to some of my team struggling with a KG class. It's boy heavy and they shout out a lot. Even when reading phonics sounds and in multiple subjects with different teachers (we don't have the same teacher for every lesson). I anticipate that it's partly that: * Teachers are not consistent enough with management * Expectations are not made clear enough and they don't know what behaviour is required. * There is no incentive to behave well. What would you do if the above points are addressed but an individual or individuals still keep shouting out?

Boys need to move and they are just naturally louder. AND… this is probably the biggest consideration with boys… they know how to rile things up with each other. My best advice without seeing the classroom is 1) have one way to stop them from being loud. One attention getter that all teachers use. Then practice it with all the teachers and class for a few minutes when introducing the attention getter and how it will be used in class. Then everyone knows what everyone knows. 2) practice the attention getter. Let them get loud but bring them back with the attention getter. 3) make it a competition. Most boys are naturally competitive so if there’s a prize they will work together to achieve it. 4) try to be consistent. This will be difficult with different teachers but try to come to an understanding among the teachers of which routines you will do the same. 5) remember how old the kids are. They need to switch it up every 6-10 minutes. They need to talk. They need to move. They won’t be good a sitting for a long time. They need more personnel space. I know this is so difficult. I hope that helps. Start small. Keep it fun and fast paced.

External rewards are ❌

Internal motivation is much better for sure. That’s why I always say to notice the good and verbalize it to your students. I do have to say that working for a point that leads to extra free time or recess is very motivating. I think it works because it is indirectly an internal reward.

@@TeachersMakingTheBasicsFun but that also makes it a competition, and if u read Alfie Kohn’s books, competition doesn’t motivate.

@@jengiolando4159 thanks for your insights. I haven’t read that book. Just going off of my experiences. Thanks for sharing. Teachers are good at taking in many ideas and making decisions on what works for them. I appreciate your input. It may help other teachers. Does the book give ideas on how a classroom teacher can increase internal motivation for a class of 20 five year olds? I’d be very interested to hear how that is done.

In my experience, competition can be a great motivator. Aren’t we always competing with ourselves and trying to get better all the time. Of course we always frame it in a positive way. Thank you Angie!
or two or three kiddos these days....
