Classroom Management

Course Summary

 

Within a classroom setting, it is essential for teachers and other important personnel to have a great understanding on how to efficiently manage their students to guarantee their safety and an engaging learning environment. Poor classroom management often leads to students quickly falling behind their peers and failing to meet expectations.


 

 

Classroom management encompasses everything that transpires within the classroom, from the topics being taught, the method of communication and the learning activities provided to the students. Regardless of the age range of the students, they will struggle to engage with the topics and focus on their learning if the teachers or teaching assistants are not providing adequate care. 


 

 

Communication is a vital aspect of any classroom, and a teacher must be able to communicate with the students in different ways, using varying language and tone of voice to encourage a particular outcome. They must also understand how to meet students on their level, and create a positive relationship built upon trust and appropriate attention.


 

 

Furthermore, a classroom leader must also be competent on the subject of SEN education, and how to best meet the needs of disabled students or those who need extra support with their learning. Those with SEN will often require additional 1-to-1 care, specialised equipment and other accommodations to ensure they can progress alongside their non-SEN peers.


 


 

During this course, you’ll learn:


 

To understand the importance of effective classroom management within an educational facility.
To recognise the consequences of poor classroom management on the organisation’s performance and for the student’s education.

To evaluate the use of language and communication, and ways it can be used to improve student engagement.
To explore various methods and techniques to promote full engagement with the taught subjects.
To consider each individual student’s needs and abilities and arrange for additional help to those who require it.
