the success of the students depend on a instructors ability to facilitate the material along with classroom management.
You have to stay in control at all times and manage the classroom.
Hi Desmomd,
Class management is a must. Adult learners need and appreciate class management. Without class management the students really suffer.

Hi Jamie,
What do you typically do to manage your classes? I let my students know on Day 1 what the rules are and repercussions for breaking rules. If rules are broken the student will be reprimanded as indicated.

Hi Salvatore,
Students really do want the instructor to control the class. Everyone suffers when the instructor does not successfully manager their class.

In order to properly deliver the material successfully class management must be accomplished first. This will allow you the instructor the opportunities to create an environment capable of allowing the students to focus in and learn from your plan.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
class management is critical in educational planning because you must organize what and how you choose to relay information to the students. Without management there would be no way for the instructor to organize lessons in a manner to which its most beneficial to the student. Organization and management go hand in hand. Think of it like this, if i were trying to explain how to do something to someone and gave bits and pieces of information randomly about the topic, then that person couldnt possibly perform the task at hand because there is no order. I may talk about one thing for 2 minutes but then talk about something else for 5 minutes. At the end of the day, what i talked about for 2 minutes may have needed to be talked about for longer and vice versa. Thats why classroom management is so important. Without it you wont be able to pass all information in an organized fashion.
Hi Natasha,
Absolutely! We as educators need to make sure to create an environment that is conducive for effective learning to take place.

Hi Glenn,
I love your firmness! Students need to know that attitude is everything.
Patricia Scales
I t gives every student a chance to get the education and information they came to school for.
I set the tone DAY ONE! If the class gets off course during class discussions, I quickly stop it and reset it to where we need to be. Students generally respect it.
I recently had a situation where a student was upset over her final grade in a previous class. At the beginning of the new class I had her in, she decided to give me the "silent" treatment. After being professional, I had to get frank & firm to let her know who was in charge and that her grade was earned not given. I reminded her if she wanted to stay silent that was fine but just know it will affect her class participation grade. I reiterated classroom policies, expectation, procedures, etc. She quickly changed her attitude.
Hi John,
It is the instructor's responsibility to produce an enviornment that is right for all to learn in. Even adult students need structure/guidance.

Hi Angela,
You are on point! As the leader you must drive the ship and get everyone on board. Just remember some may or may not enjoy the ride. Do the best you can to make it an enjoyable and a benefiting ride for all.
Patricia Scales
Class management keeps the class on track as well as how you can plan for how the instruction will be presented.
That is a great question. As an instructor I want my students to get the most out of the course. I need to be the leader that makes sure that happens. Also manging the class means that I am in tune with all the stidents, even the ones who may not speak up much. I want all students to participate and learn.
from my experience it allows the students to know and understand what is to come in the future. it allows for a proactive approach to learning with no surprises.
Hi Shirley,
Nicely stated! It is the instructor's responsibility to provide an environment that is conducive for effective learning to take place.
Patricia Scales
Class management is so important for the success of the student because it keeps the student focus, prepared, and maintain the atmosphere for learning.
Hi David,
That's the truth! It is hard to learn in an uncontrolled classroom. It is the instructor's responsibility to produce an environment that is conducive for effective learning to take place.
