Are you stuck in a rut in the classroom? Feel like student behavior is simply out of control? Well you’re not alone. In fact, in the U.K. over 50% of teachers consider leaving the profession each and every year.

And their reason? Inappropriate student behavior that makes classroom management almost impossible.

I was sat at my desk today and my thoughts were racing around my head at a million miles an hour.  And one classroom management question just kept popping into my head.

Now it’s only a small question, and it doesn’t really matter, but I just thought I’d throw it out there anyway.

Do you think teaching classes for just one lesson per week leads to better or worse classroom behaviour?

The only reason I ask is because a lot of my colleagues only teach many of their classes once a week.  And it’s often these teachers who seem to have more classroom management problems that others.

So what do you think? Does the amount of lessons that you teach your classes per week have a big impact on the behavior of the students you teach?

I’d love to hear what you think…

I have some pretty exciting news for regular readers of this classroom management blog.  I’ve been writing classroom management articles online for some time now.  Yes, it takes a long time to do, but sharing classroom management tips and tricks really does make me happy.

And receiving praise for your work is always nice.  Especially when you’ve been doing that work for free, just to help other teachers out there.  Well, over the past month I’ve written about 20 effective classroom management articles. 

And guess what? Today EzineArticles.com sent me a nice email, praised my work, and then awarded me EXPERT author status.  It seems that my classroom management articles have provoked a strong positive reaction with the EzineArticles readers.

I feel even more inspired now to share my classroom management ideas and tips with as wide an audience as possible.  I’ll speak  to you soon

Okay, I’ve just finished putting the final touches to a new classroom management video. Now, I’m no hot shot director, BUT I’m pretty happy with my latest attemp at making anything resembling a decent video.

Yes, it’s a bit silly. But then silly can be good sometimes! Hopefully the sillyness of this video will help spread the effective classroom management message of this teacher blog.

I’ll stop the fanfare now, and introduce ‘Classroom Management…and Jaws’, my latest creation. Yeah, it’s a bit silly, but then who said there was anything wrong with being silly?!

Hit the video below and my latest classroom management video will play. Enjoy

A couple of days ago I talked about the importance of having the best teaching resources if you want to reduce inappropriate student behavior in your classroom. 

But of course, as busy and stressed out teachers, we don’t always have the time to make these resources.

Well one option is to drop by an excellent free primary and elemantary teaching resources website such as Gareth’s brilliant Primary Resources.

Another option however, is to buy some teaching resources.  Now, I know that this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea BUT for very modest amounts you can often get some incredible resources.

John at Leafy Teaching Resources recently asked me to review his new resource bumper pack and I was blown away.  His new Primary Power Pack really is THAT good.

This package comes HIGHLY recommeneded and is an excellent way to reduce inappropriate behavior in the classroom.

Wishing you a peaceful classroom!
