Classroom management:teaching young learners

Abstract

This report is based on my Internship experience in Mapleleaf International School. In this paper I have mentioned about teaching younger learners and managing classrooms. I have also focused on the barriers, techniques and methodology to teach students at basic level. Classroom management for this young level is a vital concern for a novice teacher as well as an experienced teacher. Teacher needs to focus not only on the teaching ability but also on classroom management issues to avoid troublesome behavior of the students. As the students belong from various communities, the teacher needs to be very careful while choosing their teaching methods. A teacher requires choosing his/her teaching methods depending on the nature of the student, subject, the goal of the course and the school administrations. This report reviews some classroom management issue, need, aspects and teaching methodology for students at young age. My main concern was managing students of 4-5 years old as they require continuous attention. In this age level the students have 50% development and they require proper nurture in this time. This report also includes some problems faced during the internship and some recommendations regarding it.
