It helps in effective classroom management, as well as in meeting the needs of your students. When planning your lessons, take into consideration the learners within the room. If lessons are planned without some thought as to learning styles, student needs will not be met and the possibility of student misbehaviour will be increased. Share the outcomes with your students. Tell them what you expect them to know as a result of your unit or lesson.
Clarity is an essential ingredient when instructing a class.
Check for understanding by asking individuals to restate directions. A teacher's lack of clarity is another cause of student misbehaviour. Any time you spend on fostering clarity and checking for understanding will contribute to optimum student learning. Remember, saying it is not teaching it, and teaching it does not necessarily mean that learning has taken place. Extra time spent on planning is not time wasted, but time well spent.
