Classroom Management Task 2

Class regulations and procedures are vital in every classroom. Systems and regulations permit the pupils to be aware of what is expected of them, and encourages a constructive environment within the classroom and the needed tools to operate within society through adulthood. The two activities I shall address are the use of learning centers and computer workstations, and submitting assignments. Then I will address two out-of-classroom activities and the behavioral expectations for them. The first out-of-classroom activity is recess and finally, assemblies. Finally, I shall express two separate evaluation techniques to establish the pupil comprehension of the conduct expectations and the effects of not abide by the regulations.
The initial in-class activity I shall address is learning centers and computer workstations. In this activity, the pupils are separated into small groups. The amount of groups will equal the amount of centers or workstations. For instance, there are five workstations and or centers, so I separate the class into five groups with four or five pupils for each group. In every center the pupil will have an assignment to complete. I will use the poetry center as an instance. In the poetry center, pupils are given a subject that they will write on, and be obliged to finish in that center. The subject may be centered on an object they are presently studying as a class, or a current event. The area is arranged so all the supplies the pupil will require are in that area such as a dictionary, paper, pencils, and pens so the pupil isn’t required to move from the area to get supplies.
While using the centers there is certain conduct expectations in order for the learning zone to be productive. The first prospect is for the pupils to stay in their appointed center throughout the activity and not wander about the room with classmates in other zones. The next expectation is for pupils to complete the assignment for the center. The final prospect is that the pupils in the centers will solicit each other for support prior to raising their hand for the instructor's help.
The second in-class activity is submitting assignments. Following the instructor giving instructions for the project the pupils are to complete, they will need to submit their project once finished. The instructor can have the pupil keep the project until the rest of the class is finished. On the other hand, the instructor could have a spot in the classroom for pupils to submit their assignments such as stackable bins marked for each subject. When the pupil has completed the assigned work the pupil can put the assignment in the proper bin.
As the pupils finish a task, they need to submit it to the bins and there are behavior expectations with this. Initially, the pupils will be expected to depart their desk area quietly without calling attention to themselves, and submit their assignment to the bins. Next, the pupils are not allowed to chat with other pupils as they are in the process submitting the assignment.
The initial out-of-class activity I will address is time off. Recess is a time for the pupils to release some frustration from class or excess energy. Recess can happen various ways, one approach for recess to be instructor guided, this is when the instructor selects the activity the pupils will carry out and the entire class will partake, such as dodge ball. Another way is to permit the pupils to choose the activity they want to do and to use the accessible outside materials. Recess should be enjoyable for the pupils to allow them to relax for a time prior to returning to class.
Most pupils consider recess as uncontrolled time. However, there are also conduct expectations throughout this period. Primarily pupils are expected to take turns when playing in-group sport for instance dodge ball as well as be respectful of others and not engage in hostile behavior. Next, the pupils are expected to remain in the chosen area, so the instructor can supervise all the pupils.
The next out-of-class activity is the school assembly. Assemblies are a group of people gathered together for a particular purpose many times requiring many classes to attend. This could be for pupils to attend a reward ceremony at the end of a quarterly marking period or another informative agenda. For an assembly pupils enter, depart and sit collectively as a class in their assigned area.
This too has certain conduct expectations. The first is pupils must be paying attention to the speaker. Pupils will not be permitted to chat with others around them during the agenda. Next, pupils will participate when requested to and raise their hand to ask a questions when the speaker is ready.
The first method to evaluate the pupil comprehension of the expectations would be rehearsal. Rehearsal would occur during class, the instructor may well be teaching a lesson in English and observe the pupil's are paying attention to the speaker. If the instructor discovers a pupil not focused, then the instructor may well call that pupils name in a sentence, for instance "Vincent, there are several parts to a paragraph". This would show the pupil that it is important to observe and pay attention to the lecturer. Most pupils don’t want to be called out in a classroom and will attempt to prevent another occurrence. The instructor can assign pupils roles to perform and actions that they ought to take. Role-playing can also be used to evaluate the degree of pupils understanding. Remaining classmates should pay attention to behaviors that are satisfactory and undesirable within the role-play activity. When each role-play activity is finished, the instructor can call on another pupil who will be required to choose a behavior they observed and why that it is satisfactory and undesirable. The instructor can also include the consequences of the behavior.
An alternative technique that might be used to assess pupils’ comprehension is a worksheet. The spreadsheet would include various in and out of class situations that the pupils will read, and then the pupils will choose the conduct that is satisfactory and or undesirable for that activity. For instance, one activity on the work sheet is fire drills, and the pupils would list behaviors that should and should not be demonstrated.
It is essential for classroom regulations and procedures to be in place. It is equally essential for the pupils to know what is expected of them in the various activities that they will participate in during class time and during the school year. As a result, the instructor needs to make the expectation known to the pupils and be able to evaluate the pupils to make sure that they do comprehend the regulation and procedures that need to be followed.
