Classroom management is a serious issue. Many teachers attempt to control a classroom ;however it easier said than done.
Usually, only one - firmly and without screaming tell them to stop
The students should be treated in a friendly way and at the same time they should be made to understand that the authority in the calss is the teacher. Also the teacher should be thorogh in his preparation of the lecture to be delivered in the class. Once the students know that the teacher has a thorough knowledge of the subject, the class will be orderly.
Disengage the students with a firm and warm smile. Politely, point out to them that its time for a healthy discussion by maintaining good class decorum, to help them to focus by asking re-cap questions.
1. The students and teacher should first discuss and then write a "group" contract adopting acceptable classroom rules and procedures by the end of the first week of school.2. Periodically review the rules and procedures of the classroom until the students can successfully adhere to them.3. Use simple verbal reprimands when the misbehaviour occurs. Make sure that they are to the point, moderate in tone, and private (e.g., "Stop talking and work on your math problems, please"). 4. Give praise to the entire class as frequently as possible (e.g., "Thank you for working so quietly, “or "I'm delighted to see you all working so well today").5. A student who continually exhibits an unacceptable behavior (e.g., out of his/her seat) might profit from an "individualized" contract pinpointing the "desired" behavior (e.g., remaining in his/her seat) and delineating the consequences (e.g., if goal is reached, then student will receive designated reward or recognition).6. Intervene as soon as possible in order to prevent the misbehavior from occurring (e.g., say "Harry, may I help you with your assignment?" when the student begins to show signs of frustration).7. Use facial expressions to convey to the student that the misbehavior was not totally overlooked. Circulate around the room frequently, to avert potential behavior problems.1.
