What management style do you usually use?

As a elementary math teacher, I tried many teaching approaches . Some are successfully impressed pupils like assign group projects . Some of my approaches are not much effective, especially make math concepts using materials , books and worksheets. Create a supportive and engaging classroom environment that can thrive academically and develop a positive attitude towards mathematics is not that easy because all students are different in their way.

@Ana_moderator
I combine few strategies to create a conducive learning environment in math lessons that supports student engagement, participation, and achievement. The first thing is plan an interactive and hands-on activities that encourage active participation among students. Regularly use positive reinforcement techniques like give rewards, praise, encouragements to acknowledge students' efforts, correct answers, and participation.

Hello Anna,
The appropriate choice of classroom management style is very important for the educator as it will enhance the teaching and learning process. Due to the fact that im working in a ZEP institution, I normally embed an authoritative management style in my classroom. I find it more relevant compared to the laissez faire, authoritarian and indifferent management style because it helps me create a positive relationship with my students. I want to highlight that my students come from a marginalized region and they face various learning difficulties. Integrating an authoritative management style enables me to cater for their diverse learning needs as well as provide pastoral care to them. This approach also promotes student's participation in the classroom, I normally emphasized on the students centered approach. Everyone irrespective of their disabilities is given equal chance of participating in the teaching and learning process. Most important I prompt my students to give feedbacks during the explanation and evaluation phase. As a result, remedial work is conducted.

Yes, I absolutely agree with you, that in your specific situations, the needs of your students require such an approach. It is, in some ways, similar to what Bryan mentioned above.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Being a primary school teacher, I believe my classroom is a blend of Authoritarian and Authoritative styles. At times I have to keep them focused and attentive to the lesson presentations but when it comes to engage them to the group work / peer work I have to switch to the authoritative style.
first half of my lesson being authoritarian teacher helps me in keeping the students focused and second half of my lesson being authoritative teacher helps me in giving my students liberty of speaking, discussing and collaborating.

Hello Housna

Exactly;an appropriate classroom management style is crucial for the educator as it significantly improves the teaching and learning process. Effective classroom management creates an environment conducive to learning, reduces distractions and disruptive behaviors, and allows students to focus on educational activities. By establishing clear rules, well-defined routines, and high expectations, the educator can foster a climate of respect and collaboration. This not only optimizes instructional time but also addresses the individual needs of students, thereby enhancing their engagement and academic success.

In my teaching experiences , I used both an authoritative teaching style and authoritarian style. At the beginning of my teaching, I am very strict with my rules. But , later on I implement the authoritative style and just give priority to their movements and their ideas. So, students take opportunity and misuse the freedom that I give. So, I went back to the authoritarian style of current year students . My teaching style depends on the students' attitude.

@imranmemon
To effectively manage a primary school classroom, it's crucial to establish clear routines and specific expectations from the outset of the school year. By fostering a climate of respect and inclusion where each student feels heard and valued, the foundation for a harmonious community is laid. Positive behavior management, including reinforcements and redirection strategies, encourages positive behaviors while teaching responsibility. Varied teaching methods cater to different learning styles and building positive relationships with students enhances engagement and motivation. Lastly, open communication with students and their families, along with efficient management of time and classroom space, completes a comprehensive approach that promotes a supportive and enriching learning environment for all students.

@MYLOG47799627c6 It is interesting to see how your style has evolved over time!

A very interesting test that objectively represents the classroom management style. I think it's useful to implement it in schools.

@Gohar-Gulabyan have you had a chance to make the test and to find out about your management style?

@Ana_moderator Yes, of course, before taking the test I was sure that my style was authoritative and the test was right there to confirm my thoughts, thank you

My classroom management style is based on respect, cooperation, and setting clear expectations. I believe it is important to create a positive and supportive atmosphere where every student feels valued and respected. To accomplish this, I use the following approaches:

Setting Rules and Expectations. At the beginning of the school year, we work with students to develop rules of behavior and discuss expectations. This helps create a shared understanding and accountability.

Ongoing communication: I actively listen to students and try to understand their needs and concerns. Regular communication helps prevent many conflicts and misunderstandings.

Positive reinforcement: I use encouragement and praise to motivate pupils and celebrate their successes. This builds confidence and encourages them to strive for new achievements.

Variety of teaching methods: I try to use a variety of teaching methods and approaches to keep pupils' attention and interest. This helps each student to find their own way to absorb information effectively.

Conflict resolution: In the case of conflict situations, I strive for peaceful resolution using mediation and discussion. It is important that students understand how to solve problems constructively.

As a homeroom teacher m y goal is to create a safe and productive learning environment where each student can maximize his or her potential.

laissez-faire

My style is authoritative with a slight tendency to laissez-faire True

@Shakhnoza Our two-week PBL project on "Should animals be kept in Zoos?" was a whirlwind of learning and creativity. Students were tasked with researching both sides of the argument, exploring ethical considerations, and understanding the impact of zoos on animal welfare.

To showcase their findings, they designed persuasive presentations, complete with impactful slogans like "Zoos: a cage of misconceptions" and "Animals deserve freedom, not exhibits." Students presented their arguments passionately, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts and the ethical implications of keeping wild animals in captivity. The discussions that followed were lively and insightful, demonstrating the power of PBL in fostering critical thinking and communication skills.
I loved this lesson and decided to share with you)))

@Ana_moderator the needs of my students, and the specific context of classroom. It's important to find a balance between maintaining discipline and fostering a positive learning environment where students feel supported, respected, and motivated to succeed. i like laissez-faire style.

@Ana_moderator Positive Discipline is an effective classroom management style that emphasizes mutual respect and encouragement. Instead of using punishment to correct behavior, Positive Discipline focuses on teaching students the skills they need to develop self-discipline, responsibility, and problem-solving abilities.
By adopting Positive Discipline, teachers can create a supportive classroom environment where students feel valued and motivated to behave responsibly. This approach not only helps maintain order but also builds a strong teacher-student relationship, ultimately enhancing the overall learning experience.
