Classroom management is part of a teacher’s daily work activity. Sometimes the focus is on managing the entire class, at other times the focus is on only one student.
An effective technique which increases the probability of a positive outcome for the student is to negotiate a learning contract with that student.
A learning contract is an agreement established between a student and the teacher.
It specifies concrete learning and/or behavioural objectives for the student that all parties agree need to be achieved.
MY LEARNING CONTRACT
Name: Patricia de Nalda Rivera
· These are my
goals:
ü According to attendance, I will attend at least 80
per cent of class sessions. If I miss some classes, I will have a reasonable
justification.
ü According to participation in the classroom,
although I’m very shy and I get very nervous when I talk in public, I will do
the effort in order to participate at least once a day.
ü According to the
group work, I will do everything
possible to have a good relation with my classmates and I will take part as an
active member of the group.
ü According to coexistence, I will be respectful to
my classmates and the teacher
ü According to individual work, I will complete the
assignments taking into account what we have been learning during the lessons
and trying to relate this information with other readings.
These are my consequences
if I don’t meet my goals:
o
I will lose the opportunity to learn more about the
subject (teaching strategies, innovative resources, etc.) and then, the
opportunity to apply the new knowledge in my future.
o
I won’t get good marks.
o
As much the teacher as me won’t feel proud of my work.
These are the rewards if I
meet my goals:
· I will learn
more and gain more experience in teaching. So, in the future, I will have more
strategies and resources to use in a classroom.
· I will get good
marks.
