On the 25th of April 2022 the Foreign teachers held a seminar on the topic of ‘Classroom Management’ in the admin building at Dongguan Foreign Language School.
2022年4月25日，莞外外籍教師團(tuán)隊(duì)在行政樓格致書院進(jìn)行了“有效課堂管理”的主題培訓(xùn)與研討會(huì)。
After following Michael Linsin at Smart Classroom Management for over a decade, I now have the privilege of writing about our very own seminar on this important topic.
作為實(shí)踐Michael Linsin靈活課堂管理理念超過十年的教師，我有幸為我們這次重要的主題培訓(xùn)與探討撰寫一篇報(bào)道
In attendance were 8 foreign teachers as well as the administration staff of Dongguan Foreign Language School who were also avid participants. The presenters of this topic were Teacher Anthony Cappa aka Mr T and Teacher Iryna Rodinka. Both complimented the topic very well as they covered all the grades from primary school all the way through to high school.
本次主題培訓(xùn)共有8名外籍教師參加，主講人為Anthony和Iryna老師，他們分別立足中學(xué)部和小學(xué)部的課堂管理進(jìn)行了分享。
The question of classroom management always plagues teachers. We ask ourselves am I doing it right, am I crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s. Well today’s seminar certainly cleared up a lot of doubts says Mr T Dongguan’s popular and much loved high school teacher.
“課堂管理是常常困擾老師們的一個(gè)問題，我們時(shí)常自問我的做法是否合適，我是否做到了所有應(yīng)該做的，而我們今天的主題培訓(xùn)將幫助你理清各種疑問”，莞外高中部備受歡迎的外教Anthony如此說道。
As all teachers know having effective classroom management techniques and tools are what is needed to have a successful learning environment. We know all too well that the age of students affects their behavior in the classroom as well as their academic abilities, but as teachers we need to manage the unforeseen circumstances that may arise. As foreign teachers teaching a foreign language the playing field becomes a lot more difficult. We need to take into account cultural aspects before implementing any rules or discipline. Therefore we need a diverse range of management skills to facilitate learning, which is why this seminar was so important. A teacher with a good plan in place will spend far less time disciplining and more time on learning says Teacher Iryna. Students know when they’re in a well-managed environment and it can affect their behavior in a positive or negative way. Teacher Iryna says that consistency plays a major role in carrying out an effective management plan. Teachers should have a discipline plan before the school year begins. An effective discipline plan includes various techniques to avoid, support, and correct inappropriate behavior in the classroom.
作為教師，我們知道有效的課堂管理技巧與工具是課堂成功與否的必要條件。我們也很清楚學(xué)生的年齡階段將影響其課堂行為和學(xué)習(xí)能力，但作為教師，我們需要應(yīng)對(duì)課堂上可能出現(xiàn)的一切狀況。而身為教外語的外籍教師，我們面臨的境遇則更加困難。我們?cè)趫?zhí)行任何規(guī)則或紀(jì)律之前需要考慮文化差異， 因此，我們需要多樣化的課堂管理技巧來促進(jìn)課堂教學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，這也是為什么這次研討會(huì)如此重要的原因。Iryna老師提到，教師在課前作好充分準(zhǔn)備，才會(huì)花更少時(shí)間在課堂管理上，而將更多的時(shí)間留給教學(xué)。學(xué)生能清楚感知其是否處于良好有序的課堂環(huán)境，而其課堂行為也會(huì)受到正面或負(fù)面影響。Iryna老師說，一致性在實(shí)施有效的課堂管理中發(fā)揮著重要作用。 在新學(xué)年開始前，教師應(yīng)該制定一個(gè)紀(jì)律計(jì)劃。 一個(gè)有效的紀(jì)律計(jì)劃應(yīng)包括各種避免和糾正學(xué)生在課堂上不當(dāng)行為的措施和技巧。
During the morning of the seminar all teachers took part in brainstorming various classroom management issues and worked on effective solutions. Teacher Iryna agrees that classrooms need to be managed to create a safe and secure environment for young learners and can influence their behavior. She also focuses on building strong relationships with all her students and they can stop by her classroom at anytime to talk or to just play with educational tools. Teacher Iryna believes that every teacher has a role to play in ensuring all students feel safe, welcome and comfortable in their environments and that teachers should also have a balance with classroom management, they shouldn’t be too strict.
在上午的研討會(huì)上，所有教師都參與討論各種課堂管理問題，并研究有效的解決方案。 Iryna老師認(rèn)為，課堂管理非常有必要，它可以為學(xué)生創(chuàng)造一個(gè)安全的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境并影響學(xué)生的行為。 她還注重與所有學(xué)生建立牢固的關(guān)系，他們可以在任何時(shí)候到她的教室來交談或只是玩玩教具。 Iryna老師認(rèn)為，每個(gè)老師都有責(zé)任確保所有學(xué)生在他們的環(huán)境中感到安全、受歡迎和舒適，教師也應(yīng)該在課堂管理中找到平衡，他們不應(yīng)該過于嚴(yán)厲。
All in all much knowledge was received from thorough research from our two honorable teachers. In conclusion good strategies are implemented by all foreign teachers and will continue to grow from strength to strength.
通過兩位可敬的老師的分享，我們受益匪淺。總之，好的課堂管理方法一直都在教師們的課堂上得以實(shí)施，并將一直得到改進(jìn)與優(yōu)化。
