Pre learning questions

In your journal, reflect on your experience as a young learner by considering these questions before reading the classroom management section.

• When you were a primary school student, what classroom rules did you have to follow? How did you feel about this?
• What happened to students who didn’t follow the rules?
• What are some strategies that teachers can use to manage the way students behave in the classroom?
• Is it a good idea for teachers to use as much English as possible in the classroom? What are some potential advantages and disadvantages?
