Managing the classroom effectively is one of the teacher’s most important jobs and perhaps the most difficult, especially for a new teacher like me. Thanks to unit 5 I have learnt how to manage my class effectively. Firstly, I need to establish a positive relationship with my students. Establishing positive relationships promotes a sense of school belonging, as well as encourages students to participate cooperatively. Besides, it helps them to develop the confidence to experiment and, of course, succeed in a learning environment where they’re not restricted by the fear of failure. Some ways I can do to make this come true is: always treat my students with respect, create an enjoyable learning environment that encourages student participation, teach with enthusiasm and passion. Secondly, it is vital for me to organize group projects. Students love working together in groups. Therefore, for effective classroom management, there should be lessons and tasks that are designed to bring the students together. Teamwork helps nurture leadership skills and also students might develop more respect for each other. Others may learn how to be more responsible about getting their assignments ready in time when there’s a group grade that affects their classmates. Last but not least, another way to increase the effectiveness of managing classroom is to encourage questions. It is best that I don’t explain ideas or facts uninterrupted for more than 5 minutes at a time. Some students may get bored and lose concentration. Instead, I need to set a good example by asking questions and also invite the students to ask questions that steer the discussion.
