The Sixth Reflection

Today's topic was about EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT. At first, I was nervous little bit as I haven't read anything regarding the topic before. Anyhow, after Madam Ng discussed about it, I can really relate the topic with what I should do as a future educator. 
Yeah! That's what portrayed as the classroom management. 

      Classroom Management !!!     What is that ??? 
 

 How is that related to teachers ??? 


Based on my opinion in Padlet on Tuesday, I can wrap up that classroom management is what the teachers are assigned to do with the classroom given to them in order to maintain the smoothness of the teaching and learning process in that particular year. Every year, the teachers will be given different classes to hold and to concern on. So, it is not necessary for the particular teacher to get only the high achievers classes. They can also have the low achievers classes. What matters in this classroom management is the willingness of the teachers to take care the given classroom without any discrimination.

It will give negative impacts to the entire classroom whenever there is no effective classroom management. There will be no discipline among the students and the classroom will be not in order as the following image.
This is what will happen if the there is lack of effective classroom management.


I can say that this topic is something that every teachers need in their entire life as educators. A classroom is the place where a teacher will be in-charged to take care of the entire students in the perspective classroom. Teachers are the second parents for the students as the students spend most of their time in school with teachers.


Now let us jump into the given task which is to list and explain the classroom rules which I will put for my class students.As I chose to teach the Form 1 students in my previous lesson plan, I will use the class where I should put rules for the classroom. Form 1 students are very new to the era of secondary schooling. So as a teacher, I have to be as much as passionate and patient to handle the students' behaviour. Rules seem to be very serious right? It can be said as the do's and don'ts in classroom too especially for the students. Its not easy to be a teacher and to handle the students' naughtiness. Generally, Form 1 students will be more naughtier than other form students as they are the so called 'new comers' for the world of secondary schooling era and it will take time for them to come out from their primary schooling life where they might been very childish. Changing and making them to adapt themselves into the secondary schooling era is not that easy as it seemed to be. It all depends on the classroom teacher whom is responsible for that. 

Something that caught my eyes!
Simpler version of classroom rules that each student should obey.

Okay, now let's get indulged in the classroom rules that I'm going to post here in order to make an effective classroom management. The rules that are stated below will be the rules that I will make sure my students to follow in classroom. I'll be doing around 12 simple classroom rules where every student should obey. They were what I've followed during my schooling period. :)
Have a look on it! 


1. RAISE YOUR HAND BEFORE YOU SPEAK OR ANSWER DURING A LESSON
Why should students raise their hands to speak or answer?
This is how students can show their respect towards the teacher and the fellow students. This rule will ease the teachers to know which student is going to answer or to ask question. This also will help students to be disciplined. On the other hand, this rule will lead into smoothness in teaching and learning process.

2. COMPLETE ALL THE ACTIVITIES GIVEN NEATLY AND ON TIME
One of the must have criteria among students is to complete the works given on time given by their teachers. This is prevent the students to rush at the last minute to complete their works. This also will make the works being done by the students to be clear as what the teacher asked. When the students rush to do their works given, they will either do it in a very bad manner or else they will copy their  friends' works. This is definitely not a good job to be done by students. Moreover, this will teach the students about time management which they will be using in their entire life. 

3. BE POLITE, COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL ALL THE TIME

Being polite, courteous and respectful is one of the utmost important rules where this teaches students something regarding good values in their life. They will not only will use these kind of vales in classroom, but also at outside the classroom. A good student will be finalized by his or her good values that are being portrayed in the public. No matter how much the person is educated in this world, without good values, he or she cannot reach success in his or her life. That's how good values play roles in students' life. 

4. BE A GOOD FRIEND TO EVERYONE

Being a good friend to everyone is the main thing that a student have to do. Being friend with someone is not that hard. We should always remember that 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'. There's nothing can be done without teamwork which is so called friendship. We cannot deny that friendship is the main thing a student need in his or her life. A friend will help to guide something that we don't know and will be a better companion. Whenever it comes to group tasks, there must be a bonding between students called friendship in order to collaborate together to find solution for the task given. 

5. LISTEN QUIETLY WHILE OTHERS ARE SPEAKING OR ANSWERING


This is the best way to respect others while they are speaking. Students should follow up this step in their classroom. This is to respect their fellow friends while they are speaking in the classroom. This will help students to discipline themselves. Listening quietly to others while speaking will not only show respect but also will give students the sufficient knowledge they needed. 

6. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF YOUR TEACHERS

Instructions of teachers are the one that matters in the teaching and learning process. Students should always respect their teachers where they have to listen and follow what the teacher is instructing. If students do exactly how the teacher asked to do, there will be no problem in their learning process. There will be no any misunderstandings too among the students' understandings. 

7. ALWAYS WORK HARD 

Nothing in this world can be achieved without hard work. There is a quote saying 'hard work pays off'. That is very true. Students should always work hard no matter what happens in order to succeed. Working hard in every situation will give a successful return. So, students should take this as an example and keep on moving forward in their studies and life. 

8. FOLLOW THE DUTY ROOSTERS PROPERLY

This is something that the students must do daily. Duty rooster is made for the smoothness in cleaning the classroom without any troubles and discrimination. Each and everyone in the classrooms should do their duty based on the duty roosters to keep the classroom cleanliness in a better manner. 

9. TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTIES AND RESPECT OTHERS' PROPERTIES

It is very crucial for students to take care of their own things and also to respect others' things as well. If they keep their things safely, there will be no anyone to steal their things. They also should remember that they should not take others' things too. Students should always respect others' things and not taking it without the owner's acknowledgement. 

10. DON'T RUN IN THE CLASSROOM
Safety in classroom is very important among students. We don't know what will happen during the next second. Students should be always remember that classroom is not field to run all the way. It can be very dangerous if the students fell down. I know that students from primary will be childish at first as they are still new to the secondary schooling era. Anyhow it's my duty to ensure their safety in classroom and school. I hope that this rule will be always followed by students. 

11. DON'T SHOUT OR SCREAM IN THE CLASSROOM
Screaming and shouting in the classroom is a very immature habits. Students should never shout in the classroom either the teacher is in the classroom or not in the classroom. I didn't deny that students are still young and childish, but they should avoid acting like small children though. The responsibility lies on classroom teacher to improve that kind of situation. And for that, I will surely do my responsibility without hurting my students as well. 

12. DON'T CHEW GUMS IN CLASSROOM

This is another rule that a students should obey in the classroom. Chewing gums is not a wrong deed but it should be done in classroom. That's what I'm highlighting here. If a student chews gum in classroom, most probably it will make his or her other friends to follow that. Then, one by one will be playing by spitting it onto other friends. This will lead into misunderstandings among them and most probably they might fight with each other. That's what that shouldn't happen in a classroom students should respect each other rather than fighting with each other. 

Those are the classroom rules that I will put for my Form 1 students in order to discipline them and to to make the management of the classroom runs smoothly. 
Thank you :)
