Post for Arend Reading
What are some of the behaviors of effective classroom managers as described in the Texas and Kounin studies?
In this article Arend uses two studies to describe effective classroom managers by some researchers from University of Texas and Kounin and his colleagues that were done in the 70's and 80's. Both of these studies show overall that the teachers who started out the year with a good approach to classroom management were able to continue to do this through out the school year. Teachers who did not have good classroom management tended to face trouble through out the year.
Something that was very interesting was that teachers who had great classroom management had great flow of smoothness through out the year. Due to the fact that the teacher had good classroom management skills was a teacher who had excellent instructional procedures for their classrooms. If a teacher has good flow, good activities, and good momentum in their classrooms meant that they had less classroom disruptions. Effective classroom managers were those who gave clear and precise instructions regarding homework, could handle classroom misbehavior quickly, and provide understandable presentations and explanations. Overall it is important that the teacher start out the beginning of the year with stability.
