Chpt. 1-Effective Classroom Management

What's so important about classroom management?  TLW use the reading strategy of determining importance whiel reading a professional text.

Classroom management is the style you use to create a productive learning environment in your classroom.  This style is greatly influenced by your underlying world and teaching philosophies.  The three types are Classroom management as discipline, as a system, or as instruction.

The top three important items are classroom management as discipline, as a system, or as instruction.  As mentioned above, the style we choose to run our classrooms will fall under one of these categories.  Thus, it was most important to me to understand what each of these styles means and how they may or may not pertain to me and my classroom.  It is also instrumental in understanding how different classrooms are ran under these different styles, the strengths and weaknesses of each, the success or failures of each, and to see how I feel about each of these styles. It really causes you to think, imagine, and reflect on each of these styles as you are reading them, and they may not necessarily be isolated, depending upon how you choose to run your classroom (at least in my opinion at this time).

  1. I agree, if I were to describe the strategies and styles of classroom management models used in many districts the three types would not be isolated.
