Tips for Classroom Management in Elementary Schools


 * Classroom Rules posted on the wall where the students can read them.
 * This way students know what is expected of them and clearly understand what they can and cannot do.
 * Behavior Slips
 * Each student is given three cards, one green, one yellow, and one red. When a student does something that goes against the guide lines given by the teacher, their green slip is taken away with a warning and explanation of what they did, if they continue, the yellow slip is taken away also with a warning and explanation, and finally if the student's poor behavior persists, then finally their red card is taken away and disciplinary actions are taken.
 * Daily Agenda written up on the board
 * Students will always know what the plan is for the day. Younger students thrive with a set schedule and if the are informed and given structure they are less likely to be stressed and less likely to act out.
 * Provide an interesting and engaging curriculum
 * Students will act out when they are bored, keeping the students interested will keep them engaged, if they're engaged and involved, they feel more connected to what they're learning about.
 * Keep Parents involved and informed
 * When parents are involved and informed it allows them to help the teacher and ultimately help the student
 * Remove Distractions
 * When a child is sitting near something, or another student that distracts them, its difficult to stay on task/ behave, so make sure any distracting items are away from student's desks and if there are some students who cannot focus when they're together, seat them separately.
 * Learn Students Names Quickly
 * Don't put students in competitive situations
 * When only certain students are getting praised for being "the best" other students will more than likely act out in order to get some kind of attention
 * Emphasize respect between student and student
 * When students show respect to one another, there is less fighting and other disruptive behavior in the classroom
 * Praise all students for being on task and being respectful
 * Students respond to praise and if you commend them for doing the right thing, they are more likely to do that behavior again.
