Classroom management

Encyclopedia : C : CL : CLA : Classroom management


Classroom management is a term used by many teachers to describe the process of ensuring lessons run smoothly without disruptive behaviour by students. It is possibly the most difficult aspect of teaching for many teachers and indeed experiencing problems in this area causes many people to leave teaching altogether. It is closely linked to issues of motivation, discipline and respect.

Delaney Cards

One method of classroom management is the Delaney Card. This small card was used extensivly in the New York Metropolitan region in the 60s and 70s. It is still in use by a small number of teachers.

The New York Times profiled the cards and its creator in 2003. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/14/nyregion/14colm.html?ex=1379476800&en=e82f8864dafeeb57&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND
