TEYL - Tips for Effective Classroom Management

🎯 Classroom management requires energy and patience to handle young learners.

💡 Children misbehave due to playfulness and short attention spans, as well as the need to move around.

🌟 Teachers play the role of managers in the classroom, focusing on capturing students' attention and facilitating learning.

⏰ Teachers are managers of time, activities, transitions, student behavior, conflict, atmosphere, student feelings, emotions, and students' use of native language.

📋 Teachers should be able to manage behavior with routines and rules, manage the pace of class, manage the classroom climate, and manage the language used in class.

🚀 One tip to improve classroom management is to use wait time of three to five seconds to manage the pace of class.

⏳ Wait time is important in the classroom to give young English learners time to process their answers.

🧠 Managing the classroom climate is crucial, and brain breaks can help change the mood.

💡 Taking brain breaks can help students relax and change the mood of the class.

🎉 Transition activities like vocabulary games and dance parties can energize students after writing or drawing for a while.

📝 These classroom management tips can improve student engagement and help facilitate smoother transitions between activities.
