    I hate that term. :) You don't manage a class. You create a culture, build learning opportunities and foster relationships with kids. I manage my finances, not students. :) #iaedchat

  • lav2nd Sep 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I think about the set of agreements between students, teacher, and the school that make for a successful day and year. #iaedchat
  • nick_schumacher Sep 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1. My first thought...Kids don't need managed. They need leadership and someone willing to teach them the skills necessary to function as a member of a classroom society. #iaedchat
  • DuffysClassroom - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: How aware is the teacher of what is going on in the classroom? It's not student behavior- it's about adult behavior. What are your expectations for learners? How have you intentionally practiced procedures, routines, and the flow of what must get done each day? #iaedchat
  • smithbbz21 Sep 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: I think about the environment the students are in and how the teacher acts towards their students! #iaedchat

    A1: when you’ve got it, you’ve got it...aka engagement #iaedchat
  • cjamesteacher1 Sep 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    My initial thought, scary. One of the things I am most sacred for as a new teacher but also one of the most important things for a teacher to be able to achieve in the classroom. I love observing teacher's classroom management styles and taking nots on what works best #IAedchat
  • JamesPrier13 Sep 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Creating a safe and open environment for all to learn and express their opinions #iaedchat

  • JulieKennebeck Sep 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 I now think of classroom procedures and the “flow” of each class; different than what I thought when I first began teaching—I thought rules and how to respond to disruptive students. #IAedChat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: When I hear classroom management, I think of setting procedures and expectations to maximize productive time in the classroom. Honestly, I think of Harry Wong and The First Days of School. Great management leads to more time for great instruction and connection. #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Classroom management reminds me a lot of this visual. Balancing needs of individual students, relationships, behaviors, content, collaboration, engagement, communication, etc.. all at once - while keeping them all moving. #IAedChat
  • nick_schumacher Sep 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Love this. Teach the kids the skills they need to be successful!! #iaedchat

    In reply to @danpbutler
  • iowajonhuebner Sep 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1. I think about an environment that has students engaged in their learning, and the teacher facilitating it. Procedures are explicitly laid out so that students have clarity on what is expected from them. #iaedchat
  • Mrs_KFisher Sep 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 the importance of establishing routines throughout the day so everyone can vibe and groove! #iaedchat
  • TammyDelaney1 Sep 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: How the classroom functions as a whole. Are relationships being built, do students have voice and choice, and are behaviors in check. #IAedChat
  • zeitz Sep 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Something that is often considered an external form of physical control rather than a system exisiting within the system. #iaedchat

    Hi, It's good to be back! Best chat of the week! :) #iaedchat
  • stumpteacher Sep 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    For sure, but doesn't mean I like it. :) Poor classroom management is often blamed for many problems teachers face. Yet, in reality most problems are based in poor relationships or poor lessons. #iaedchat

      Are routines in place to ensure students feel comfortable with the flow of the class? Do students believe the classroom is a community, where showing respect to each other is vital? Are corrections immediate and calm? Do I look for the good, yet stand ready to correct missteps?

    Yes, establishing routines and consistency can create a framework for learning #iaedchat

    I love that this is more prominent in today’s classrooms. It should be an agreement. Mutual agreements build ownership and ownership equals more success! #IAedCHat

    A1 #IAedChat The ability to control organized chaos in a calm, responsible manner. Such classrooms are controlled w/o Ss knowing they are being “controlled!” Starts with expectations and ends with relationships!
  • stumpteacher Sep 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    I don't like the idea that we "manage" kids. It is more nuanced than that and classroom management is given too much weight when creating high quality lessons or building positive relationships trump all. #iaedchat

  • TammyDelaney1 Sep 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    I think back to being a new teacher and remembering the same thing. Just know that if you build relationships, be consistent in your expectations, and truly care about kids you will be off to a great start #iaedchat

  • MikeAlbarracin Sep 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Sorry to join the party a little late! I think of establishing classroom norms when I think of management. It's difficult for kids to know what to do in the class until you've taken the time to teach it! #iaedchat
  • miss__specht Sep 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: I think of having a stable and safe environment for all students to learn. I think it also means accepting that it’s not always going to run smoothly, but putting your best efforts into have a successful classroom environment. #iaedchat

    A2: Focused on the physical layout/flow of the room. How can I organize the space to promote interaction. Rows did not exist in my classrooms...pods, circles, or arches. HS students liked being able to turn to an elbow partner (so do 1st graders, 7th graders, & adults) #iaedchat
  • Mrs_KFisher Sep 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2 clear pathways to each other and common learning areas...make collaboration easy and inviting #iaedchat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    It’s more of a general term (tonight), but I agree.. some Ts still think they’re the ones in charge to ‘manage’ a class rather than having it be an environment build on mutual understanding and partnership. How do we change this? #IAedChat
    In reply to @stumpteacher, @danpbutler
  • nick_schumacher Sep 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Our focus is on the kids. We need to make sure we are meeting the needs of every kid in the room. Be intentional about setting norms and creating perfectly clear expectations. #iaedchat

    A2: Relationshio building is critical. My former PE teacher came up with the genius idea of doing field day type activities the first full Friday of school. This day became Community Building day school wide with these team-building activities. Brilliant. #IAedchat
  • cjamesteacher1 Sep 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: Relationships. Your students need to know you are human too and that it is OKAY to make mistakes. Let your students know you care and the sense of community will fall into place. #IAedchat

    A2 from the start you build rapport and get to know each other and you establish that is “our” classroom not mine. We work together to establish our expectations and procedures. #iaedchat

    A2: I think working on your student relationships not only between you and the student but student-student is important too! #IAedChat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    We are speaking the same language. Rules/procedures are important in laying out how business is done in the classroom, no question. However, strong connection with kids will tip the scales toward greatness. Connection = commitment. Rules w/out connection = compliance. #iaedchat

  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: The beginning of the year is a critical time to get to know your students: their interests, motivations, hopes, and personalities. I cannot overemphasize the importance of procedures, routines, and expectations. #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Build a strong foundation of community with the students by having them be a part of it from the ground up. This will build ownership in the process and help sustain. #IAedChat
  • DyanSundermeyer Sep 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: building relationships and knowing each and every student individually...I heard recently you don’t know a student until you know 10 things about them outside of school, I’d like to think that was my goal before I knew the stat #iaedchat

    A5: Charts and Points are great, but don’t let them define your students and the methods you use to help them. #IAedchat
  • _idunderground Sep 9 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    Clip up/down charts are the bane of my existence. I once ranted through a whole blog post about it. https://t.co/RqRkUhZQYJ #iaedchat
  • Mr_Poe22 Sep 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A1: Behavior charts set a mindset in certain students that they are the 'bad kid' if they were to score high. Need an alternative #iaedchat
  • cjamesteacher1 Sep 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A5: There are charts that can be beneficial for teachers to use to keep track of a child's behavior, however I think students knowing about charts or trying to earn points may make them feel as if they are always being punished. #IAedchat
  • SydneytLuu Sep 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    Q5: I absolutely am against the clip up clip down chart. It's demeaning and can humiliate children so publically. #iaedchat
  • KaileeRobben1 Sep 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A5: I can understand this method from a regulation aspect however keeping your charts and points consistent is where I see the downfall. I think there has to be more effective ways to encourage and monitor behavior. #IAEdChat

  • JulieKennebeck Sep 9 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A5 Points for behavior should be OFF limits—when we are grading a student, we are assessing them based on their subject-area knowledge only! In terms of behavior issues, West High developed a FABULOUS referral process last school year that had tons of success! #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5: Every child is different. One chart doesn’t accurately show what all student can/cannot do and isn’t really motivating to those who struggle. Individual goals are a much more powerful way to go. #IAedChat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5: One of the things that we must always ask ourselves when working with interventions and monitoring mechanisms is whether they lead to behavioral change. Many of these systems lead to compliance rather than a change in behavior. Not all kids motivated by charts. #IAedChat
  • DuffysClassroom - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5: How would teachers like if administrators walked into their classroom and told them to clip down? Has shame ever been a great motivator? #iaedchat

    A5 Any form of public behavior monitoring, regardless of digital or analogue, is no good in my opinion. #iaedchat
  • TammyDelaney1 Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5: I don't use charts. I rely on the old 90/10 rule. 90% of the time I am looking for and praising good behavior. 10% of the time I am redirecting the inappropriate behavior. #iaedchat
  • KerrieWillis1 Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    We need data. But how can a T truly monitor and record specific observations while also teaching? Video can be helpful. So can talking with Ss one-on-one about their behavior, at the end of class. Both are time-consuming. How do we streamline? #IAedChat

    Q5: There's a time and place for charts, but I don't think student behavior is where it belongs. #iaedchat
  • JoveStickel Sep 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A5 I think in extreme cases charts can be helpful but kids must be a partner in developing the plan. Now if a teacher is doing this for every Ss in each class that takes a lot of time that could be more effectively used in relationship building and engagement #iaedchat

  • lena_childers Sep 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A5 Behavior monitoring will look different for different age groups. Most Elementary students respond well to a clip chart that allows them to opportunity to reflect and improve on their behavior. This system would not work of middle and high schools. #iaedchat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    I'm most interested in why behind the behavior. Video and conversation are time consuming, but both very high-leverage to understanding. #IAedChat
    In reply to @KerrieWillis1
  • DuffysClassroom - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    Ah, your lesson didn't quite hit the standard, and you were two minutes late to recess duty, and you "replied all" to an email, so you need to clip down. #iaedchat
  • TammyDelaney1 Sep 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A5: If I have to monitor whole class behavior I use our social contract and try to work toward the positive. #iaedchat
  • charrold48 Sep 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A5: There should be a clear purpose as to why the points/charts are being kept. In the event it is for an IEP student, the data should be collected as confidentially as possible. #IAedChat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    We are just about ready for Q6; it is coming your way in one minute. #IAedchat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Of course. I think that goes without saying from my perspective. I was not intending to describe a pretty learning space without strong norms, procedures, and so forth. We're on the same page. #iaedchat
    In reply to @MikeAlbarracin
  • smithbbz21 Sep 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A5: I think behavior charts are not the greatest tool to use to monitor students behavior. Other ways could be used #iaedchats #iaedchat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    Q6: In your opinion, what are we getting right in terms of classroom management? What could use an adjustment or complete overhaul? #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    According to A5:, I think we can all agree on the fact that clip charts are not an effective way to promote positive behavior in the classroom. #IAedChat
  • burgere828 Sep 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Many teachers have a strong focus on student relationships, as seen through this chat! So obviously we are doing something right #IAedchat
  • DuffysClassroom - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A6: Right- MTSS, PBIS, clear procedures. Supporting all teachers to support all learners. Complete overhaul- how we talk to kids when we (adults) are not regulated. Behvaior is communication but it's not always personal to offend you. If it is, what does that say? #iaedchat
  • cjamesteacher1 Sep 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A6: Complete overhaul; punishment. There is not enough positive reinforcement in the classroom and too much punishment. Yes students make mistakes and we must hold them to our expectations, but too much negativity and not enough positivity is dangerous. #IAedchat
  • SydneytLuu Sep 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A6: Teachers are looking at the students as individuals with different learning needs and listening to what makes them tick! #iaedchat
  • a_krehbiel13 Sep 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A6: Things we are getting right: *positivity *relationships *culture *student choice Things that need an Overhaul: *testing *grading #iaedchat

  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A6: (2) We also need to prioritize relationships as the foundation for any successful classroom management - many classrooms are getting this right, but not all. #IAedChat
  • townsleyaj - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A6: Our kids and their needs aren’t one-size-fits-all, so we need to think more about children on a more individual level - this needs to improve. #IAedChat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A6: We are getting classroom management right when systems are established to connect with students while allowing them to feel valued and safe. Procedures and routines that lead to more learning are awesome. Wrong = control, overuse of authority, and power struggles. #IAedChat
  • KaileeRobben1 Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A6: I believe one adjustment to classroom management is to showcase the good. A lot of teachers just focus on the bad behaviors...Yes, we want to cease the bad behaviors but can't we do this by also encouraging the good? #IAEdchat
    In reply to @danpbutler
  • MikeAlbarracin Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: I'm not a fan of any point system tied to behavior at all. I'd rather treat behavior as an ongoing lesson of making better choices with the parents and I working together as co-teachers! #iaedchat
  • JoveStickel Sep 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A6 we are seeing a wonderful time in education today more people are using alternative seating and giving students a voice in what happens in a classroom and how it is run. It is truly exciting to see. We still have a long ways to go but the revolution has begun #iaedchat
  • Mr_Poe22 Sep 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Teachers are looking deeper into different teaching methods and building stronger relationships with ALL students. #iaedchat
  • lena_childers Sep 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    We are getting right the relationship building in the classroom, yet we need an adjustment on consequences for behaviors once the behaviors have proven to be out of control. The systems seems afraid of students/parents, and do not bthe teachers when necessary. #iaedchat
  • smithbbz21 Sep 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A6: Teachers are working hard at making sure different learning styles are getting focused on! #iaedchat

    It’s hard to believe that it is time for our final question. Coming to you in one minute. #iaedchat
  • TammyDelaney1 Sep 9 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A6: #iaedchat building culture and expectations play a big part in what happens. However, It really boils down to being intentional in your relationship building, expectations, creating a safe and caring environment w/ a physical space that encourages collaboration/conversations
  • MikeAlbarracin Sep 9 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A6: getting right: need for a clear protocol to help teach behavior. Needs overhaul: involving parents late in the process. Connect with parents early (like step 1 or 2) and get them on your side. Typically, calling parents by the 4th/5th infraction generates conflict #iaedchat

    Q7: What classroom management strategies will you put in place to help you this year? #IAedChat
  • charrold48 Sep 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A6: Right - Building relationships and positive culture. Wrong - punitive punishment that doesn’t teach results that will teach students to have a different outcome. #IAedChat

    Q7: Connecting with the students. Engaging them in meaningful learning. Clarity in expectations and outcomes. #iaedchat
  • danpbutler - Moderator Sep 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A7: I am very much interested in classroom management practices that are trauma-responsive in nature. Valuing student voice, choice, commitment, safety, and empathy. Classroom management practices that drive connection and student learning get me excited for the year. #IAedChat
  • a_krehbiel13 Sep 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT

    A7: an inviting classroom filled with soft things such as stuffed animals or pillows, having colorful decorations, maybe a rug #iaedchat
  • Dr_JakeLeBlanc Sep 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5 #IAedChat Anything so public is not the best means to keep up with behavior. If the manner is private, in a folder or something, I get it. Never a huge fan of color charts/clips where the whole class knows how each other is performing. Self-esteem hit!

    I do think it’s the T’s job to manage a class. They are the “manager” in the room. However you don’t manage learners, you manage processes and systems. And so maybe it’s time to separate the terms. Learners need cultivating not managing. #iaedchat
