Classroom Management Ideas

August 15, 2013 By Rachel

A slight disclaimer…being that I’ve just got back into blogging and I’ve decided to gear this blog more toward teaching…I don’t have a lot of pictures of my personal use.

With that being said, I have found similar ideas to share with you.

I have tried lots of different management techniques over the years.  I’m going to share a few that I find are most successful.

This is the system I used last year.  
Behavior System used in my classroom
My students are numbered so I would move a magnet over their number. (This is actually my picture!)

Since I am team teaching this year, I decided to use the clip chart system to keep things the same between my teaching partner and my classroom.
I’m using Teri’s version over at A Cupcake for the Teacher.
She has the file for free in her TpT Store!  Be sure to leave some feedback if you download it!

Cookie Compliments which is similar to Brownie Points.
This is from Mrs. Heeren’s Happenings who offers it as a freebie.
I use this for when my students earn a compliment from another teacher or they have great behavior during special areas.

Groups/Table Points

I use something similar to this for my groups.  I use it mainly for transitions! 

These are a couple of things I use at crazier times of the year (Christmas, end of the year, etc)
Class Dojo
If you haven’t heard about Class Dojo…you must check it out.  It’s an online behavior management software.  Seriously…go check it out!

Behavior Bingo
Peterson's Pad: End of the Year Survival

Students who are following directions get to sign the board.  Then I call several bingo spots at the end of the day to win a little something special.

One more day of Teacher Week!

Day 4 of Teacher Week is Classroom Management

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    6 ways to get your students participating in your 6 ways to get your students participating in your lessons!
1️⃣ Think Time - giving your students time to think about the answer keeps your over achievers from answering all the questions 
2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
