PLANNING
You can plan for this eventuality by asking yourself a few reflective questions, such as:
What will I do when children talk over others?
How can I best deal with disruptive behaviours?
When is the best time to intervene when children display disruptive behaviours?
Organizing the classroom
Jacobs (2016) maintains that you need to reflect on your planning and that you will need to put
aspects in place to support your planning.
Being organized helps you to establish a routine, which is important for learners to know what
is happening in the classroom and what is expected of them.
Maintaining classroom control
A key component of being an effective classroom manager is being able to manage learner
behavior by building checks and balances into the process.
The teacher as the classroom leader
As a leader in the classroom, you must strive to enable learners to develop a set of values consistent
with the fundamental rights contained in the Constitution of South Africa, and to be fair and treat
children as thinking human beings. As a leader, you need to demonstrate the following.
Show respect: The SACE Code of Conduct states that a teacher has to show respect to
