Managing a classroom involves three elements
Plans Procedures and routines Explain Re-hearse Re
inforce Procedures Routines

• Managing students involves
  
• Planning
• Procedures
• Routines

Teachers need to plan how they want their
students to proceed in the computer classroom.
Procedures must be developed so that students
know exactly what to do and how to proceed from
the beginning to end of each lesson. These
procedures must become routine so that there is
no confusion in the computer class.

Explain
Re-hearse
Reinforce Effective teachers plan their
procedures very carefully before each lesson.
Students need procedures so that they always know
to do and what to expect. The teacher must
explain the procedures over and over again until
they are clear. Next these must be rehearsed and
finally reinforced by supportive and encouraging
words.
Student Management
The number - one problem in the classroom is not
discipline it is the lack of procedures and
routines (Wong).
Teachers must EXPLAIN, RE-HEARSE, and REINFORCE
classroom procedures. Students need classroom
procedures so that they always know to do and
what to expect. The teacher must explain the
procedures over and over again until they are
clear. Next these must be rehearsed with the
students. Finally, the teacher must reinforce
them by supportive and encouraging words.

Time Management

• Time is a very important factor in classroom
  management. The lesson begins with a certain
  procedure and ends with another.
• Students must know that there is a time limit.
  They must know
• how to manage their time.
• There should not be any wasted time, confusion
  or disruption (Wong)
