Educators find motivated students are easier to teach as they make quick progress to academic goals. When technology is integrated with learning, students who are interested in learning do, in fact, learn more. . If cutting-edge technologies and tools are adopted by school management, will it keep students interest in in the classroom? So how to motivate and empower students? Here are ten tried and tested classroom management strategies for K-12 schools that have been identified as critical to enhance motivation and improve student outcomes.

1. Student profiles

Students can not only create their profiles with demographic information and other details, but also get mobile access to search student profiles, groups, and directories, and also get exciting features for social collaboration like chats, forums, blogs, and social media.

2. Rewards system

Bolster your institution with cloud-based behavior management system to easily overcome physical and mental roadblocks due to stress, depression, anxiety, etc.  Establish a rewards system to extend professional help and support to improve discipline and eliminate negative student behavior incidents.

3. Seating plan

Analyze classroom seating arrangements and create seating plan for each semester of a course to promote positive interactions and maximize the learning capabilities of students.

4. Course Management

Course Management system allows teachers to create curriculum, lessons plans, and syllabus to streamline course planning with the latest technologies. Ensure students know what they understand about their curriculum & syllabus, what lessons they need to know, how they will be assessed, etc.

5. Student assessments

Teachers and instructors can quickly conduct tests and assignments aligning with the course objectives. Teachers can post assignments to students automatically using online collaborative tools. Students can develop their own ideas and submit assignments as fie upload for review.

Teachers can enter grades easily and provide constructive feedback using the online gradebook to students and parents. Real time dashboard reports and charts presents the snapshot of overall student performance during the academic year.

7. Timetable scheduling

School and college administrators can efficiently manage resources and optimize allocation of resources through automated timetable scheduling.

Administrators can customize timetables based on the number of classrooms, or changes in course structure. Timetable scheduling effectively minimizes students’ course conflicts.

Students can send feedback on courses using mobile devices to improve the effectiveness of course delivery. Create custom rating scales for courses and easily track the top rated courses through the student evaluation process and create improvement plans for course development.
