Procedures and Room Arrangement
• An important component in successful classroom management is arranging the physical setting for teaching to support the procedures you have in your classroom.
• Effective room arrangement can help you cope with the complex demands of teaching 20 to 30 students in your classroom.
•
![Page 18: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Five Keys to Effective Room Arrangement
• Design your classroom to reflect your personality and instructional style and needs of the students.
• Keep high traffic areas free of congestion.
• Arrange students where they can be easily seen by the teacher.
• Place frequently used teaching materials and student supplies where they are readily accessible.
• Place displays and instructional materials where they can be easily seen by the students.
![Page 19: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Room Arrangement
The most important feature of room arrangement is not where the furniture goes, but, rather, where it does not go.
(Jones, 2000)
![Page 20: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

“Say what you mean, and mean
what you say.”
Fred Jones
![Page 23: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Common Misconceptions Concerning Classroom Rules (Jones, 1996)
• Students should know how to behave by this time.
• Rules are announced.• If you do a good job with your rules at
the beginning of the year, you will not have to deal with them later.
• Teaching rules is a matter of being strict.• Students dislike classroom rules.• I have so much material to cover, I can’t
afford two weeks for rules.
![Page 24: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Important Considerations
Rules should: • Be specific, to the point, and
consistent with established school rules.
• Be written, using positive language.
• Be limited to 3 - 5 in number.
• Be posted with the consequences.
![Page 25: New Teacher Orientation August 15, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681592d550346895dc65ab4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Take-Away
As you review the important considerations about rules, add two rules to the “Managing My
Classroom” section of your tri-fold that you will implement in your classroom.

Building Relationships
“The quality of teacher-student relationships is the keystone for all other aspects of classroom
management.”
(Marzano and Marzano, Dimensions of Learning)

Suggestions for Building Relationships

you,” “I’m sorry.”).• Know your students as individuals.• Be approachable and capable but don’t be
a pal.• Reveal passion for your work and for life. • Smile!
