Component 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures
What is Component 2c?
Component 2c is vital to classroom success. Managing classroom procedures involves creating rules and expectations that students are required to fulfill. The presence of organization and rules will allow each school day will go more smoothly. Students will also be more engaged in an organized environment.
Why is Component 2c important?
The component is important because it allows students to work independently when a lesson is not being given directly. Students can also learn to work well in groups if appropriate guidelines are set.
Elements
The first element within the component is management of instructional groups. When students work in small groups they need to understand how to work cooperatively and collaboratively towards a common goal. Students need to be engaged in group work. Students must take responsibility for tasks within a group project. Secondly, teachers must be mindful of management of transitions. Students must be able to work together and understand transitions in the classroom. However, this should not take up instructional time. Teachers must be mindful of management of materials and supplies. Teachers and students must have materials together prior to an activity and the teacher needs to be knowledgeable of resources and materials for classroom use. It is also important that teachers note performance of non-instructional duties so that they are completed in an efficient and effective manner that do not take away from instructional time. Lastly, teachers should understand the importance of supervision of volunteers and paraprofessionals that are used to assist with learning in the classroom. A teacher may need to instruct/train paraprofessionals or volunteers about how to work in the classroom.
Possible Artifacts
Student work that demonstrates students being on task and following directions
Fill out reports that record student behavior and their ability to remain on task
