Mr. Schillinger, I find that changing the classroom environment keeps students on their toes and wondering what the lesson has in store for them today. Changing the layout of the classroom by varying desks and seating arrangements I have found arouses inquisitiveness. In addition, using various music and aromas could also energize or calm students to relate to the particular daily lesson. Rewarding students with tangible and/or edible items based on their involvement also evokes motivation and enhance the learning process.

The essential task of the educator is to arrange conditions of the learner’s environment so that processes of learning will be activated, supported, enhanced, and maintained.” Also, the instructor must be able to demonstrate considerable knowledge of the principles and methodologies of effective teaching and learning with demonstrated experiences in sharing that knowledge with colleagues through formal and informal professional learning activities.

Setting classroom norms at the very beginning of a class is one of the best methods of classroom management. Hang a flip chart or poster, or dedicate a section of white board if you have the space, and list expected classroom behaviors.
