Eckert, J. (2014, October). Teach like a novice: lessons from beginning teachers: all teachers
can add to their classroom management toolkit by reflecting on the lessons they learned
early in their careers. , (2), 13.Phi Delta Kappan 96
Jonathan Eckert (2014) completed his research on classroom management by initially reviewing
his own career as a first time teacher. Classroom management is considered the greatest
challenge for beginning teachers and remains a crucial element throughout a teacher’s career.
The author felt that there is quite a bit of information to glean from a beginning teachers’ own
reflection and perspective of their experiences. The author also notes that there is a large
distinction between novice teachers and veteran teachers in their ability to manage the classroom.
The author has developed an aspect of a teacher’s program that places student teachers in diverse
areas throughout communities to give them first hand experience in teaching the masses. The
author developed seven strategies to assist beginning teachers in their careers. They strategies
that can help improve classroom management are: maintain a growth mindset; try new ideas,
reflect, then accept, reject or modify; do not dismiss extrinsic motivation; give students a reason
to pay attention; be demanding; build important relationships; and fill the classroom. The author
provides guidance on how to establish these strategies within the classroom. The research is
based on the author’s observations and reviews of beginning teachers throughout the program.
