Document Summary
Authoritative: encourages students to be independent thinkers, but provides monitoring and verbal give-and-take. Authoritarian: restrictive and punitive with the focus mainly on keeping order rather than learning. Permissive: students have autonomy but little support for learning skills or managing behavior. Cares more about what is good for students emotions. Teachers want students to be their friends. Management issues in elementary and secondary school classrooms. The crowded, complex, and potentially chaotic classroom. Getting off to a the right start. Emphasizing instruction and a positive classroom climate. Classrooms can be crowded, complex, and potentially chaotic. A lot can be happening at once. Students know each other outside of the classroom- there could be group dynamics that the teacher does not previously know about. Best practices for a good beginning of the school year. Make sure whatever they heard before they can make their own judgements. Use preventive, proactive strategies rather than becoming immersed in reactive disciplinary tactics.
