| Classroom
management |
The
process of setting up an activity in class, monitoring it, and
following it up.
Different activities require very different types of classroom
management. For example, getting students to do a fill-in
exercise in their books is very different to setting up a team
game.
A key concept in classroom management is classroom dynamics.
This is the type of interaction going on in a class:
Example: Teacher to group – Here you must ensure that
all the students are paying attention to you, and that you are
addressing all of them – not just the keen students at the
front, or the student who is always daydreaming at the back.
Other types of dynamic – Student to Student, Student to
Teacher, Group to Teacher, and so on, require different
management.
