...children in their own home. The classroom is an immediate environment where management is applied in order for students to acquire formal knowledge. It is made up of the teacher, students, learning devices, and the learning environment. Management, on the other hand, can be seen as a process of designing and maintaining any setting in which people work in groups for the purpose of achieving common goals. The Oxford Dictionary defines management as the act of running or controlling or skill of dealing with people or situations in any way. Loomiz (1980) defined management as a method where a group of people at the highest level of organization plan, organize, communicate, coordinate, control and direct the actions and activities of people who work for the organization toward the achievement of organizational objectives. In the school setting, in order to achieve its aims, a school has to have objectives, and to achieve these objectives, the various people with responsibilities in the school, especially in the classroom have to plan organize and lead. Classroom management is the term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that the classroom lessons runs smoothly despite disruptive behavior of the students.

...Chapter II Literature Review It is a widely accepted fact that educational training and experience influence teachers’ practices and beliefs in the manners in which they individually approach classroom management (Martin and Sass, 2010). The very thought of classroom management brings to mind an array of opinions, ideas, and definitions. However, it cannot be easily defined since classroom management involves a very broad scope of definitions (Martin & Sass, 2010). According to Martin and Sass (2010), classroom management entails an “umbrella of definitions that include learning interactions, learning, and the behavior of students” (p. 1125). I include the self-efficacy, educational training and the experiences of teachers to the umbrella definition of classroom management. This chapter will present a brief overview of the theories influencing classroom management, models of classroom management, empirical research in the field of classroom management, and the effects of variables associated to this research study. First, behavioral theorist such as John Dewey, B. F. Skinner, William Glasser, Jean Piaget, and Albert Bandura will be discussed since they have played a central role in teachers’ classroom management philosophies. Second, classroom management models by Lee Canter, Linda Albert, Harry Wong, and Kame'enui, Sugai, Colvin and Lewis will be discussed. Next, empirical research by Ladner (2009), Baker (2005), Little and Akin- Little (2008), and Martin and Sass...

...The basics of management ethics begins with hiring and placement in the proper place in the business. If placed in the wrong department, there could be definite repercussions. There can also be repercussions if you hire the wrong person. Evaluating performance is also very important, recognizing and praising excellence and using proper discipline plus terminating poor performers in the business, as well. As a manager there must be no discrimination. This could be based on race, religion, sex, color, ethnic background, or age. Most problems seem to revolve around the age group, it seems, from discussions that I have noticed and there are several techniques that may be used to offset the problems that are set around having a younger manager. It is important that a manager is seen for the performance assets that they carry and not the age that they have achieved their skill levels. Supporting your management team when an employee will do nothing but keep your team strong and build a great relationship between you and others that you work with, management, or not. Performance evaluations are a great way to know where you stand in the company, gain a raise, and let the managers know what value you are to your part of the company. It can be a positive or a negative experience. Either way, it is necessary to having a structured company. Another part of the organization is discipline. It is difficult to discipline employees, but it is necessary and as long as there is...

...In order to be an effective teacher and ensure my classroom will facilitate learning I must have a good classroom and behavioral management plan. Since I currently do not have a classroom I will base my management plan on what I observe and read. Harry Wong’s book and the Love and Logic program are excellent resources for classroom and behavioral management information.

By applying this program teachers can build relationships that will be beneficial to students as well as teachers. Harry Wong’s book instructs teachers how to execute procedures and rules through organization....

...Ludwig Von Bertalanffy, a biologist. Just because he witnessed them striking parallel to each other he sensed the need for an approach to lead research in several disciplines. He guessed that if several disciplines focus their efforts and research, they would be able to make out rules and regulations which would be implemented on many systems. And that would allow researchers and doctors to make sense of characteristics of system as completeness, separation, order, development and others. With a common outline, researchers could better be in touch with each other and build upon each other's work. Nearly 50 years later, it was agreed that many concepts of systems fits in our everyday. We speak of banking systems, a wellbeing system, political system, body systems, information systems, and a family system. The only reason we have come to know this is during this time there was an abnormal increment of knowledge and information available. We cannot know all there is to know. We find ways to meet and to evade being overloaded with knowledge and information. We try to edge in on small areas than to look into things as a whole. Systems Theory as a Conceptual Field of Inquiry The benefit of systems theory is its latent to offer a framework for a concurrently significant and normative exploration of the relationship between our awareness and formation and the world we claim to represent. Studies of human awareness and cognitive development have started to rely more on system theory...

...Henry Fayol, a French industrialist, developed the theory of management. According to him, managerial excellence is a technical ability and can be acquired. He developed theories and principles of management which are universally accepted and make him universalistic. He was pioneer of the formal education in management. Fayol's principles of management meet the requirements of modern management. Henry Fayol, offered fourteen principles of management for the first time in 1916. During the period of 1920-40 in the U.S. many authors did hard work in developing and testing various principles of management. Today, there is a very lengthy list of management principles and it is not possible to give an exhaustive lot of these management principles. Here, we are giving some important principles of management. Henry Fayol's Principle of Management Followings are the 14 principles of management developed by the Henry Fayol: 1. Division of Work: According to Henry Fayol under division of work, "The worker always on the same post, the manager always concerned with the same matters, acquire an ability, sureness and accuracy which increases their output. In other words, division of work means specialization. According to this principle, a person is not capable of doing all types of work. Each job and work should be assigned to the specialist of his job. Division of work promotes efficiency because it permits an organizational member to work in a limited area reducing the scope of his...

...Classroom Management 1. Describe and critically discuss the major features of the main approaches to behaviour management the Porter (2007) describes in her text. 2. Critically review the appropriateness of each model to Australian Primary or Secondary School settings. INTRODUCTION Classroom management is a highly emotive and at times spurious phrase. It conjures up many images and experiences in which there are abundant publications bursting with competing theories, applications and never-ending analysis. Google the phrase and over 100,000 pages are listed with various approaches that range from common sense applications to profound theoretical dissertations on the subject (50 ways to handle the difficult class, 10 ways to deal with defiant students, Managing excessive talking successfully, etc...). However, disruptive behaviours in the classroom have real costs including: • distracting other students and the teacher in class • reducing student involvement in the learning process • lowering other students' motivation in or out of class for that particular subject • influencing fairness in assessment • using the teacher’s teaching time unproductively • teacher and students experience a lack of respect Porter (2007)[1] draws down on all the competing theories of classroom management and summarises five/six approaches which take in holistic, constructive, preventative and remedial strategies. These approaches include: ...

...KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT : * "Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers." * Knowledge Management, (KM) is a concept and a term that arose approximately two decades ago, roughly in 1990. Knowledge Management may be viewed in terms of: * People – how do you increase the ability of an individual in the organisation to influence others with their knowledge * Processes – Its approach varies from organization to organization. There is no limit on the number of processes * Technology – It needs to be chosen only after all the requirements of a knowledge management initiative have been established. * Culture –The biggest enabler of successful knowledge-driven organizations is the establishment of a knowledge-focused culture * Structure – the business processes and organisational structures that facilitate knowledge sharing. LITERATURE REVIEW: At present knowledge management is consider as an asset for the firm but according to (Jones, 2009) knowledge management is also related to organizational culture of the firm. This study characterized organizational culture as clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy culture types, however according to (Swanson,...

...Issues and Management Student’s name Date XMGT/216 Teacher’s name “Managers perform a crucial role in organizations because they interpret company policy, execute corporate directives, fulfill all of the people management needs in their particular area of responsibility, cascade senior management messages down the chain of command, and communicate employee feedback up the chain. They are probably the most important ingredient in an organization’s success and they are frequently the most overlooked. But make no mistake about it—managers are the lens through which employees view the company, as well as the filter through which senior executives view employees.” (Trevino & Nelson, 2007) Managers are faced with many ethical issues related to hiring, performance evaluations, discipline, termination, diversity, and harassment. The topic I will concentrate on in this paper is Discipline. I will describe the moral and ethical issues faced by managers when dealing with disciplining employees, examine how the issue affects other individuals, explain how the relationship between social issues and ethically responsible management practices apply to my topic, and provide a workplace example of an ethical dilemma involving discipline at the workplace. ” Most managers view disciplining employees as something to be postponed for as long as possible. Many people in a work environment try to ignore a worker’s shortcomings in the hope that the situation will improve. Discipline, however...
