11月18日下午，我校初中高端英语项目组举行了主题为“Classroom Management课堂管理策略”的中外教联合教研活动， 会议由初中教务副主任张丽君主持。本次活动旨在提高中外教的课堂管理能力，帮助教师梳理教学工作中影响课堂管理的多种因素，引发教师思考如何成为优秀的课堂管理者，以保证课堂教学活动得以有序顺利进行。

本次workshop由来自英国的外籍教师Mr. Jack组织主题分享与研讨。Mr. Jack先从选择这个主题的目的来引发大家的思考, 他提到课堂管理是教师为了达到教学目标在课堂上进行的调控人际关系、和谐教学环境、引导学生学习的一系列课堂教学管理活动，进而促进学生的持久发展。接着，他从“prevention--dealing with problems--case studies”这三个主要环节带着全体教师一起展开讨论。

如何采取措施预防学生出现破坏课堂秩序的行为呢？Mr. Jack先列出了几种学生会破坏课堂秩序行为的情形，比如教学内容的难易程度、学生想要得到关注、学生对待知识的态度等，他认为为了营造有序和谐的教学环境，教师要先从教学设计入手，让课堂内容由浅入深，教师要搭建台阶引导学生循序渐进的掌握知识。同时他也认为让学生明确知识和他们未来的发展的联系，让他们对知识充满期待敬畏和期待。

此外，Mr. Jack也对有效的课堂规则也提出了相关建议，比如规则应以三到六条为好，学生更能熟知并且能遵守课堂规则，更容易建立起相互信任的关系。教师在为学生提供持久帮助的同时，学生能获得更稳定、有方向、有目标的学习生活，了解怎样做才能取得成功。师生都能获得成功愉快的学习生活。同时，教师还应采用“intensives”促进学生规范自己的行为，比如适时鼓励或者奖励学生的正向行为，好的课堂管理不是偶然的，教师要适时肯定学生在课堂管理中的良好习惯、反复强化。通过“peer pressure”，树立榜样刺激学生的内驱力，正如“心中有榜样，脚下有力量”。最后，Mr. Jack通过分享有关课堂管理的实例，让大家思考“换做是你，遇到类似或者同样的情况，你会如何处理？”大家分别分享了相关事例，也相互提出了自己的看法和见解，在很多方面中外籍教师都达成了高度的一致。

在整个workshop中，从开场热身互动，到课堂管理有关问题的小组探讨，再到集体理论研习、总结反思，整个研讨过程环环相扣，层层深入。中外教师各抒己见，积极互动，充分体现了全组成员精诚合作、积极学习的集体意识，更重要的是教师们通过中西方文化的碰撞，对课堂管理又有了更新的理解和认识，此次教研为今后的教学工作打下了良好的基础。

附部分参加中外籍教师感言

@ 任双双

Jack's workshop evoked a lot of thoughts on class management, including the reason behind some class problems, the way to give effective instructions, and some possible measures to deal with certain misbehaviors from the students. I believe all the teachers have got something from this workshop and would improve our skills to manage the class so that the students can study in  a good atmosphere. From now on, I will try to put some strategies into practice. For example, I will show more open and confident gestures to the students to help them understand my intention better. I will also try to connect their goals in the future with our learning to arouse their interest and motivation. Let's wait and see what effect those skills can bring.

Today Jack gave us an excellent workshop about class management. We talked about the problems students had in class and solutions that could help us to manage our class. After this, I got a lot of good ways to deal with problems in class. Firstly, in our class, the number of rules should be between three and six. The rules should be clear and effective. What's more, our instructions should be clear, like what am I doing, when should I start and with whom can I do it.  Finally, the consequences for students misbehaving should be mildly unpleasant and short in duration. I am really grateful that Jack gave us so much effective, helpful and specific advice. What a wonderful workshop!

Jack’s workshop today gave me a lot of food for thought, which will hopefully help me to manage my own classes more efficiently and successfully. It was helpful to be reminded about how to have clear expectations when giving instructions and also the particulars of having consequences in class, most importantly that certainty trumps severity. I hope to implement Jack’s suggestions, and I really appreciate the research he did to inform us about classroom management strategies.
