Classroom Management

Classroom management played a crucial role in maintaining a productive learning environment. I focused on creating a respectful and engaging atmosphere that encouraged active student participation:

​

1. Setting Expectations:

   • At the beginning of my teaching practice, I established clear expectations for behavior, participation, and respect. I reminded students regularly about these guidelines, which helped maintain order and focus in the classroom.

2. Positive Reinforcement:

   • I used positive reinforcement to encourage active participation and good behavior. Compliments, praise, and rewards (such as extra points or verbal recognition) were used to motivate students and foster a positive classroom atmosphere.

   • To further motivate students to speak and answer in English, I offered small prizes like candies as incentives. This created a fun and encouraging environment, where students felt more comfortable engaging in English conversations.

3. Encouraging Student Engagement:

   • I made sure that all students were engaged in the lesson by using a variety of teaching methods, including discussions, pair work, and interactive activities. I also ensured that quieter students were given opportunities to contribute.

4. Handling Disruptions:

   • I proactively addressed minor disruptions by calmly redirecting students’ attention or using non-verbal cues. When necessary, I implemented quick interventions to keep students focused without interrupting the flow of the lesson.
