...The Importance of Classroom Management An effective classroom management plan is the key to becoming an effective teacher, as well as making sure that is learning going on in the classroom. (Wong, Wong, Rogers, & Brooks, 2012) All classrooms should have an effective teacher to teach the students. An effective classroom management plan will also help the teacher keep the classroom under control and it helps the students focus better. An effective classroom management plan will help keep the teachers lesson plans running smoothly throughout the year. Learning to manage a classroom full of students can be difficult at times, but with dilliance and careful planning you will soon find out that your hard work and good effort will turn out for the best in the end. For teachers to teach the students then the teacher also need to do their homework and plan an effective classroom management plan that will keep the class on the right track for the year. Effective teachers maintain their classrooms well with procedures and everyday routines where ineffective teachers just depend on punishments and threats to keep their classrooms under control. When starting to plan a classroom management plan you must first make sure that you fully understand what classroom management is and how it works. Classroom management is a set of procedures that structure the classroom so the students know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it in a classroom.

...Henri Fayol: Contributions to the classical stream of Management Theory Present management practices and theories have evolved from classical management theory created by organisation pioneers, and one such influential pioneer was Henri Fayol. Henri began his career as an engineer in a large French mine and eventually succeeded to become the director, here he realised the lack of resources available to managers for developing management practices. Fayol’s did not believe in the old ideas of an individual born to rule, he believed that an employee needs to be motivated and among many other things, money is an important variable in motivation. He also said that managers should keep the morale of his employees high and keep them motivated so they can perform at their best. Fayol believed that by focusing on management practises he would minimise misunderstanding and increase efficiency in organisations and started synthesising his 14 principles of management, which are considered as the foundation and essential references for present management practices and theories. Fayol’s principles of management are still widely used in organisations by management to perform day to day tasks and other functions. His 14 principals acknowledged the importance of management hierarchy and key management process in any organisation. These principles are as follows (Study mode, 2013): 1) Specialisation of labour. Specialising encourages continuous improvement in skills and the development...

...Time Management | June 12 2014 | | Overcoming The Working Struggle | Ghelarducci – Stephanie Ghelarducci – Stephanie Table of Contents Time Management Strategies 2 Procrastination 3 Defeating Procrastination 4 Overview 4 Time Management According to the article A Personal Approach to Organizational Time Management written by Peter Bregman, “The biggest and most destructive myth in time management is that you can get everything done if only you follow the right system, use the right to-do list, or process your tasks in the right way” (Bregman, 2013). This statement is false because there is so much that must be done and there is not enough time in a day to finish all of the tasks we have at hand. Living in a world filled with all this technology is still not enough to finish our day to day tasks even if we work for every single hour in the day and night (Bregman, 2013). We would still not be able to keep up with our work load along with our personal tasks that must be done, too. Thus, having minimal time in a day is why individuals stress over their work which causes more problems. Mastering time management strategies will help individuals tremendously in their work and personal lives, and decrease the amount of problems that arise in their days due to poor time management skills. Time Management Strategies It takes practice to manage one’s time and there are a number of steps one can take to help him or her in completing their everyday tasks...

Please ignore this style of referencing, the essay is shown as a model of good practice only re structure and analysis. How influential is scientific management in the 21st century? 1. Scientific management was originally developed in the 1800s by an economist, Adam Smith. He was interested in a factory that operated and produced pins, and through the breaking down of tasks e.g. division of labour he increased output from 20 pins per employee per day to 4,800 pins. However the greatest break through in scientific management came in the 1900s during the peak of the industrial revolution, and due to the emergence of the factory system more attention was being given to methods or factors that could contribute towards increasing output levels. It was here that Frederick Taylor began his studies into this field and his ideas were later furthered by individuals such as Gilbreth and Gantt. Despite each individual having a significant input into the study of scientific management Taylor was widely regarded as the ‘Father of Scientific Management’ and hence the term ‘Taylorism’ being introduced. 2. Technically Scientific Management is the “management thought concerned primarily with the physical efficiency of an individual worker”[1].

...[pic] |BOSTON COLLEGE |CARROLL SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS & STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT | | Managing Customer Responsiveness at Littlefield Technologies – Spring 2007( Background It is now nine months later, and Littlefield Technologies has developed another DSS product. This product also is expected to have a 268-day lifetime. Littlefield once again has contracted with your operations management consulting team to manage their operations for this new product. Management Strategy Littlefield’s management would like to be able to charge the premium prices that customers would be willing to pay for dramatically shorter lead times. However, management has found that historic lead times[1] during the first 50 days of production often extend into several days, and so they have been unwilling to quote the shorter lead times to customers. They want your team to look into why this is occurring, and hopefully remedy the situation. Customer Demand Based on initial management analyses, customer demand for this new product is expected to be random, but the average demand will be level over the product’s 268-day lifetime. Pre-production market research suggested that the average daily demand level would be somewhere between 10 orders/day and 14 orders/day. Closer to Day 50, shop floor space constraints are limiting the number of jobs being accepted into the factory. Management is concerned about this outcome. At the end of this product’s lifetime, demand will...

Current Year’s average aggregate value = $48,000,000/6 = $8,000,000 Next year’s average aggregate inventory value = ($48,000,000 × 1.25)/6 = $10,000,000 Increase in the average aggregate inventory value = ($10,000,000 – 8,000,000) = $2,000,000 b. Number of turns to support next year’s sales with no increase in inventory value = (1.25)(6) = 7.5 turns. Thus, the change in inventory turnover = new – old = 1.5 inventory turns, or 25% higher inventory turns. 2. Precision Enterprises.

... Knowing how to manage your time is an essential tool to success in life. Time Management has helped me set priorities to meet goals, improve my skills, and helped me reduce stress. Setting priorities to meet goals will give me a clear idea of what I have to do and when it needs to be done. Using time management during an ordinary day helps to reduce the stress and simplifies life. Without having a plan on how to manage time, it can create stress in life and also forgetting important dates and deadlines. By not having some type of organization in life it will create problems and will seem as if there is not enough time in one day to complete daily task. Time management is an essential tool for me to be more organized and accomplish my goals in a timely manner. I have to do all my assignments and be at school on time. I create a list of things that needs to be done every day. Meeting daily goals is much easier when I have a clear idea of what needs to be done. I need to keep my focus on what to do every day. Being more organized has helped me a lot. On Thursday, I meet with my team to do homework. At work, being organized and setting a plan is very important, especially when you have more than one responsibility to do. Managing your time is one of the keys to success in life. Setting goals is essential to know what we want to do. Having a written schedule will keep me focused, proactive, and efficient...

...some people time management is nothing but common sense. They are doing well at their job so they must be managing their time just fine. Maybe, but it’s more likely that they are successful in spite of their time management practices. Common sense isn’t all that common these days. For some, they work better under pressure; time management would take away the edge. But nobody works better under pressure; what really happens is they do the best they can under the circumstances. Usually this is nothing but a subconscious rationale for procrastinating. If people put off a major task until the last minute, with the excuse that they work better under pressure, they leave themselves no time to do the planning that would produce superior results. Some people use a calendar appointment or a “to-do the list”. The calendar tells where they are today, but doesn’t help much with next month, and it’s almost impossible to retrieve something from the past. The best time management tool is an integrated system, one that allows retrieving information. People take time management too seriously and for them it that takes all the fun out of life. For them it also takes away their freedom. Time management is not fundamentally about routine; it’s about self-discipline. Effective time management gives people time to be creative. It frees their mind of the worry and tedious detail that stand in the way of creative thinking. Thus, the very notion of time management is a misnomer....

...ABSTRACT Critical Chain Project Management: An Overview Christopher Aitken Director: Elisabeth Umble, Ph.D. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce to the reader Critical Chain Project Management, which is the application of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) process to project management. Eli Goldratt describes the process in the book Critical Chain. Applying Critical Chain protocol will improve the projects due date performance and the quality of deliverables, whatever the project or circumstance. To prove these claims this document explores specific case studies of recent implementations of Critical Chain. It then goes back to look at the history of project management and some of the innovations that led to Critical Chain, including an in depth look at Theory of Constraints. It concludes by exploring the TOC approach to causing change in thinking processes and how this would be done for Critical Chain. This document is written to be accessible to any reader regardless of the level of prior exposure to the Theory of Constraints.
