Managing+the+classroom

Teachers need to plan and manage their literacy classes to meet their children’s needs and interests (Hill 2006). To manage the classroom effectively there should be specific spaces for groups and individuals to investigate their interests or topic (Hill 2006). Managing the classroom effectively needs the teacher to think of the following things to make it work effectively; · Children construct knowledge · Learning occurs through inquiry and investigation · The process of learning how to learn and solve problems are made explicit · Learning leads development · Learning occurs in social context · Language plays a central role in intellectual development · The zone of proximal development (Hill 2006)

Within managing a classroom there can be individual work or group work, but choosing a group can and should change for nearly every situation. Different children learn at very different stages and this must be taken into consideration when choosing groups. Also when group work is happening it is important that the teacher walks around trying to spend equal time with each group. While doing this it is important to get down to their level, do not stand over the children try and sit next the them while giving feedback, also try and get the children involved in this process and also do not correct every possible error as this can discourage the child to try next time. m
