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，莞外外籍教師團隊在行政樓格致書院進行了“有效課堂管理”的主題培訓與研討會。
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與探討撰寫一篇報道
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，他們分別立足中學部和小學部的課堂管理進行了分享。
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問題，我們時常自問我的做法是否合適，我是否做到了所有應該做的，而我們今天的主題培訓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。我們也很清楚學生的年齡階段將影響其課堂行為和學習能力，但作為教師，我們需要應對課堂上可能出現的一切狀況。而身為教外語的外籍教師，我們面臨的境遇則更加困難。我們在執(zhí)行任何規(guī)則或紀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課堂教學學習，這也是為什么這次研討會如此重要的原因。Iryna老師提到，教師在課前作好充分準備，才會花更少時間在課堂管理上，而將更多的時間留給教學。學生能清楚感知其是否處于良好有序的課堂環(huán)境，而其課堂行為也會受到正面或負面影響。Iryna老師說，一致性在實施有效的課堂管理中發(fā)揮著重要作用。 在新學年開始前，教師應該制定一個紀律計劃。 一個有效的紀律計劃應包括各種避免和糾正學生在課堂上不當行為的措施和技巧。
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老師認為，課堂管理非常有必要，它可以為學生創(chuàng)造一個安全的學習環(huán)境并影響學生的行為。 她還注重與所有學生建立牢固的關系，他們可以在任何時候到她的教室來交談或只是玩玩教具。 Iryna老師認為，每個老師都有責任確保所有學生在他們的環(huán)境中感到安全、受歡迎和舒適，教師也應該在課堂管理中找到平衡，他們不應該過于嚴厲。
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施，并將一直得到改進與優(yōu)化。
