B. Any3 of the situations and discuss how you might handle them.

1. One or more students are not participating or engaged in the lesson.

Active participation of students is one of the goals of class room management. If only a few
students participate volunteering answers, asking questions or in discussion engaged in the lesson
then class loose opportunity to assess and promote learning in whole. Increasing participation is
not to have every student participate in the same way or at the same rate. Instead, it is to create
an environment in which all participants have the opportunity to learn and in which the class
explores issues and ideas.

Few strategies that can handle the situation are:

• Find things that they are interested in -While teaching if one or few students are not
participating in learning process then I will try alternative method to teach the topic which
students will find interesting and will ensure that each student participate in one way or
other.
• Move them to the heart of the class- Focusing on them by asking questions in between by
calling out their name or by making seating arrangement so that each child gets an opportunity
to sit everywhere instead of sitting at one place.

• Eye contact and position: Eye contact and position is a way to keep on touch with the
students when you know that he ors he is not focusing in the class to notice that we are
keeping a check on them thy will automatically will pay attention to class to class to avoid
changing ones position will help to check on everybody in your class and make sure you don’t
ignore anyone.

2. A group of students come into the classroom after the lesson has begun.

As a teacher in the beginning of the academic session itself I will set clear rules so students know
that punctuality is an essential disciplinary value. If students are still reaching late I will them about
consequences of reaching late to class as all important information or tasks like classroom
activities, assignments or giving exam papers are done at the beginning of the class so that if
students do not arrive on time they miss it. This motivates them to arrive to the class on time.

Another way to deal the situation is to Keep record of students’ lateness and let them know
that if they arrive late for three days they will get an ‘a’ (absent) for one day. Keep note
students who always arrive on time and reward them appropriately. This encourages students to
arrive to class on time.
3. You have assigned a task, and some of the students have already completed it, but others are still
working

In this situation as a teacher I will tell early finishers to recheck what they have written and then to
volunteer themselves to help those who have not completed their task as peer teaching is a great
when done purposefully and occasionally.

One way is to create a learning centre in classroom. In the learning centre we can keep some books
activity cards etc when students have completed their task make sure that they check it over, and
then they can quietly go the learning centre to choose an activity.

Another way is to assign some duty for them so that they can help in maintaining discipline of the
classroom. This will boost others also to complete their task on time in next time.
