Classroom Management in the Middle School
The most
challenging part of teaching
Not just about discipline
Should be developmentally responsive
The ideal classroom management is one where everyone
works and learns together
Teachers need to have a classroom management
system that works for them.
Really hard to do: a student may act fine one day; listen and
participate and be horrible the next
day
It should be a balance between the needs of the adolescent and the
demands of the schools curriculum
