What challenges do you see in the pre-service teachers classroom management?

Assessment Task 1 – Response to Scenario
This assessment task builds professional knowledge and understanding of motivation theory and the factors that affect student engagement. Opportunities to demonstrate knowledge of strategies for creating a supportive learning environment through the use of preventive and supportive classroom management are also important features of this task which can be used as evidence for demonstrating aspects of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate Career Stage).

To complete this task, you will need to access the following two files available below:

Classroom Management Scenario
A sample School Code of Conduct exemplar
Part A

Prepare a 1000 word (maximum) written response that answers the questions outlined below based on the scenario.

1. What challenges do you see in the pre-service teachers classroom management?

2. Why is the learner discussed in the case study considered as “misbehaving”?

3. Identify two or more hypotheses to explain the causes for their behaviour and outline some strategies you could suggest to use to curb this behaviour.

4. Do you agree with the statement “She never has been a very motivated student”? Draw on what you have learnt about motivation, relationships and supportive learning environments to justify your answer.

5. What would you do differently to the pre-service teacher in this scenario to plan the days learning experience?

Part B

In no more than 1000 words (maximum), outline how your proposed changes would:

1. Align with a whole school approach to behaviour and classroom management through referring to the provided Student Code of Conduct exemplar?

2. Influence the behaviour of students in the class?

3. Contribute to the creation of a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages participation of all students?

4. Manage challenging or off-task behaviour that may arise during the session/lesson?

5. Impact on student learning and achievement of the set learning goals for the planned session/lesson?

The response must refer to discipline, behaviour/classroom management theories and other relevant research on strategies for creating a safe, supportive and inclusive classroom environment in order to justify your point of view.
