Students have to be taught the specific steps you want them to do in any given learning situation. Effective teachers take time to teach students the specific procedures to follow as they transition from one activity to another. Another important aspect of classroom management requires a flexible seating chart system to allow the teacher to easily modify the arrangement of students, and to keep immediate records of student performance and behavior. An example of the seating chart I use is included later in this discussion. Classroom procedures identify the defined set of expected behaviors specific to various classroom activities, Rules refer to a defined set of student social behaviors expected in the classroom.
Consequences are any punishment administered for disruptive behavior.
Seating charts are arrangements of desks and a map of where students are assigned to sit in the classroom.
