As a future teacher, what classroom management strategies do I need to employ to respond to

diverse types of learners?
In today’s time, the classrooms are becoming more diverse, encompassing students from
different cultural, economic, and educational backgrounds with different learning styles,
personality, behavior, and skills and talents. Because of this, the traditional one-size-fits-all
classroom management seems to be ineffective in creating a supportive and inclusive
classroom. As a teacher, it is our duty to be flexible in order for us to be able to provide a
conducive learning environment for them, hence the employment of different classroom
management strategies that cater to diverse learners is greatly encouraged and is highly
necessary.
First and foremost, I would set clear, consistent rules, routines, and expectations from the
very start. It is because of these shared, socially scripted patterns of behavior that students
have less behavior issues caused by the unknown because they understand what is expected
of them. These also reduce the cognitive complexity of the classroom (Leinhardt et al., 1987).
Another strategy that I would employ in my classroom is the use of differentiated
instruction partnered with culturally-responsive teaching. Differentiated instruction is an
approach of tailoring instructions to student’s needs. This offers students choices about how
they learn and how they can attain their learning goals (Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville, 2023). Partnering this with culturally-responsive teaching, I can provide
instructions while also giving them opportunities to acknowledge or be aware of and learn
the different cultures among them.
Everyone would love praises and rewards, especially kids. This makes them feel good about
themselves, hence increasing their motivation to do good—or better—for their next
performance or product as well as encouraged executing the same behavior that you desired
from them that resulted from them receiving that specific praise or reward. Due to this, one

of the classroom management strategies that I would employ is the use of positive
reinforcement.
Lastly, I would employ the use of flexible grouping and cooperative learning. In flexible
grouping, students are grouped together based on their individual needs, abilities, and
interests rather than solely based on their grade level or age. This allows personalized
instruction, increases student engagement, and improves social-emotional outcomes (Wahl,
2023). On the other hand, cooperative learning involves students working together in small
groups to accomplish shared goals or complete group tasks. Its effects include greater
motivation and achievement and better outcomes for students (Gillies, 2020).
With all these classroom management strategies employed inside the classroom, I wish to
create a learning environment for my future students where diversity is acknowledged and
celebrated.
