Abstract

Five Basic Principles for Effectively Managing the Classroom Wlodkowski, 1990). Significant classroom events can occur accidentally and those moments challenge even the most gifted teacher's abilities. Consider delivering a difficul t lecture and in the middle of a complicated point, one of your students arrives late and disrupts the moment. How do you respond? One single experience with a student will neither determine the qualities of a skilled teacher nor how to manage the classroom environment. Instead, it is the policies and procedures we create and the related behav- iors w e exhibit that communicates our approach to students. Conti (1998) defines this as "teaching style." Teaching style can be conceptualized on a continuu m ranging from being teacher-centered to student-centered. In practice, the instructor usually reflects an eclectic combination of the two ends of this continuum. Informed by one's educational philosophy, teaching style is shaped by the cumulative result of a set of interrelated expe- riences sustained over an extended period of of social work education and curriculum By Leslie E.
