Therefore, it is easy to<o:p></o:p></p><p>conclude that if a teacher can effectively increase class<o:p></o:p></p><p>participation then classroom management problems will<o:p></o:p></p><p>decrease.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Unfortunately, increasing class participation can be easier<o:p></o:p></p><p>said than done.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Well, here's tip that can actually help you get 100%<o:p></o:p></p><p>participation from your next class.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>It's actually quite easy...<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Instead of the teacher asking a question and waiting for<o:p></o:p></p><p>the usual hands to rise, the teacher should have ALL of her<o:p></o:p></p><p>students WRITE the answer to a question.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Simply say, "I have a question that I'd like you all to<o:p></o:p></p><p>write answer to..."<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Now, instead of having the same few students respond, the<o:p></o:p></p><p>teacher has gotten ALL of her students to respond. By<o:p></o:p></p><p>using this simple strategy the teacher went from roughly 5%<o:p></o:p></p><p>class participation to 100% class participation.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>And, as stated earlier if students are actively<o:p></o:p></p><p>participating in the class then there is naturally going to<o:p></o:p></p><p>be less classroom management problems<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>To further increase class participation the teacher can<o:p></o:p></p><p>give the students a couple of minutes to share their<o:p></o:p></p><p>written answers with a partner.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>The "pair & share" allows students to teach and learn from<o:p></o:p></p><p>each other and allows the students to reinforce their<o:p></o:p></p><p>learning without the anxiety of responding in front of the<o:p></o:p></p><p>entire class.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>One of the bonuses of using this strategy is that the<o:p></o:p></p><p>students who usually respond first, the ones who always put<o:p></o:p></p><p>their hand up right after any question has been asked, will<o:p></o:p></p><p>actually develop better answers now that they have had more<o:p></o:p></p><p>time to process the question and their answer.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>While this strategy may take a little more time than the<o:p></o:p></p><p>traditional approach, the end result of increasing class<o:p></o:p></p><p>participation and decreasing classroom management problems<o:p></o:p></p><p>is well worth it.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>************************************************************<o:p></o:p></p><p>For more classroom management strategies that you can start<o:p></o:p></p><p>applying to your very next class make sure to read Adam<o:p></o:p></p><p>Waxler's "eTeach: A Teacher Resource for Learning the<o:p></o:p></p><p>Strategies of Master Teachers" @ <a href="http://www.on2url.com/lnk?MTM3MzA1OHwxMTE5NTQ2NjY1fHM9MQ%3D%3D">www.TeachingTeacher.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>*************************************************************<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>Marjan Glavac<br><br>509 Commissioners Rd.
