How Do You Get Control Of Your Classroom?

Teachers: How Do You Get Control Of Your Classroom?



Mandy Hickson, who is currently student teaching, wrote in and asked us if we had any advice for getting control of a classroom. Honestly, we know this is the most essential skill when teaching and they don't cover it in college. Our best advice is to always, always be consistent and remain calm. When you set class rules, make sure you follow them as well. See as many veteran teachers as you can to get an idea of a variety of styles that are used. This helps you establish your own. See teachers at all grade levels and areas. I learned some of my most effective techniques from a high school wood shop teacher- and I teach seventh graders!
