This has resulted in the reduction of staff, larger class sizes, lack of follow through to repair aging buildings, and the inability to keep up with purchasing and replacing educationaltechnology. This is why the time is now for districts and schools to seriously consider developing a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative.
Sound classroommanagement skills.

With all the promise that educationaltechnology holds, several pitfalls are always on the minds of educators. The top two issues that commonly come up in my talks with educators are the technology (Internet, hardware, devices, apps) not working or off-task behavior on the part of students.
ClassroomManagement - Simply put, teachers cannot force a child to do anything they do not want to do. Teachers must reach out and engage parents and utilize them as key players in their child’s education. It is no longer acceptable to interact with parents simply on conference and open house nights.
I entered the classroom through an alternative certification program , which meant I hadn’t received the same level of preparation as teachers who came through traditional teacher training routes. I struggled with classroommanagement, curriculum design and the pressures of working in a high-poverty school.

Classroom walk-throughs and observations place undue stress on new teachers, eat into prep time and can exacerbate existing classroommanagement issues. Coaches can’t be everywhere all the time to give teachers feedback,” explains Littleton Director of Instructional Technology Jim Verrill.
When you have 45 minutes once a week with students that have so many different levels of learning, so many different accommodations and modifications, and you still have to stay with it and plan and be able to change or modify in a moment, classroommanagement is key.
I tried various classroommanagement strategies: positive narration, proximity and whole-class attention-getters. Earlier this year, one of my fourth grade students kept disrupting my instructions during class. This behavior was unusual for her. I had taught her all of last year, and she had always been attentive and engaged.
Digital Promise is collecting and highlighting examples of research-informed product design, development, and improvement to help school districts better understand why and how to identify research-based products that can be implemented in the classroom. A few examples: Behavior research can be used to enhance classroommanagement tools.
But when it comes to ethical monitoring—concerned with how school systems set up their digital classroommanagement tools and teachers use them—we hear far too little. If we truly expect learners to develop those desired digital citizenship skills, educators must first become ethical monitors of their students’ online activity.
In a deal struck between the New York City Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers, a new position — paraprofessional classroommanager (PCM) — was created as a temporary solution to allow paraprofessionals (paras) like me to sub for classroom teachers.
What other classroommanagement tools are available for teachers? Teachers can also send students into breakout rooms and monitor them through a feature that recognizes whether or not students are engaged in discussions. And if they go completely silent, the teacher can then join and help instruct. There's a lecture mode in UNIVERSE.
Classroommanagement is a delicate balance. You're always managing kids' emotions, and where they're at that day, and your own emotions, too. I think schools are gonna have a big problem next year, where there's lots of conflicts between students and teachers where a student says, ‘Yeah, I used [AI], but it's still my work.’
Earlier this year, I was facilitating a series of three lessons about classroommanagement. Students learned to identify different behaviors , practiced creating a behavior management system and had an opportunity to give and receive feedback on implementing a behavior plan.
Many say they feel less effective when they’re stressed , which research shows can negatively impact the quality of their instruction, classroommanagement and relationships with students suffer. The educational climate is rapidly deteriorating, the ripples of which we have yet to fully feel.
Key happenings in 2022: Class became a maybe- unicorn selling a classroommanagement tool within a video conferencing platform—a category of company that literally did not exist in 2019. This infrastructure will allow new companies to emerge that capture and analyze learner activity data at a more granular level than ever before.
I also recognize that is not the case for the majority of educators in classrooms. Even so, the realization motivated me to consider how restorative practices can be implemented not only in my classroommanagement but also my instructional choices.
In my classroom, I treat students as humans first, not obstacles to classroommanagement. What I would have loved here is consent , an ardent agreement between both of us that this student can come into my space. I would have loved transparency on the part of that teacher.
“A disproportionate number of folks in the top 5 percent were novice teachers, so it does underscore the need for continued support and in-service preparation around classroommanagement, around routines for supporting disruptive students and engaging with them.”
Many public school districts don’t have the resources to partner with an educationtechnology company to develop customized digital learning tools for their classrooms. This could mean providing additional training for teachers on the instructional use of digital learning tools—how they’re going to use technology.
In fact, according to a Digital Promise study , 74 percent of districts use more than 26 different educationtechnology products and another 17 percent of districts use over 100.

Phipps says she’s open to observers looking at her classroom data, and she already has suggestions for TeachFX: a crossover app with Swivl, a classroommanagement tool that records teachers as they move around a classroom. New personalized professional development tools will need their own champions and early adopters.
With barely a month’s worth of virtual training on lesson planning, pedagogy, content specific best practices, assessment, DEI work and classroommanagement, I was nowhere near prepared to teach a culturally and linguistically diverse sixth grade class completely online during the height of a pandemic.
I was insecure about classroommanagement and wasn’t forthright about my disability with colleagues and students. Having a fiercely independent streak and not wanting to be pitied, I have always preferred the latter response. Unfortunately, my desire for independence led to more missed opportunities, especially as a younger teacher.
This controlled chaos felt at odds with expectations of strict classroommanagement, and I had to shift gears quickly. My body tensed up, my heartbeat quickened and my existing confidence was immediately replaced with insecurity.
Even though the work paraprofessionals do is critical and is proven to improve student learning , I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been thanked and it often feels like my voice is the last to be heard in shaping routines, classroommanagement practices and instruction, even for students I have worked with for years.
Try it with a partner - Teachers should pair up when they bring LEGO Education solutions into their classrooms. Having someone you can bounce ideas off, especially for those classroommanagement pieces, is the best way to start.

Why are they leaving? It’s not a tenable job.”
