In the current tech-savvy education model, classroom management is more than just taking attendance or assigning homework! Teachers must take into account lesson planning, homework completion, student engagement and interaction, behavior monitoring, contact with parents and guardians, and most of all, helping to ensure that students are having a successful learning experience. That’s where classroom management software comes in!
Here are the top 10 useful features every teacher and school administrator should keep in mind when searching for a classroom management platform can be:
Live Attendance & Monitoring
The most basic yet most needed feature is an automatic attendance-taking tool. Educators should be able to quickly take attendance, develop reports, and notify parents about absenteeism, all in real-time. Even better if you offer biometric or RFID integration!
Academic Performance Metrics & Analytics
Great classroom management provides a tool not only to organize information, but also to analyze it. Look for classroom management solutions that provide reports on student performance and progress on specific assignments or assessments, subject-matter analysis, and performance trends so that teachers can evaluate students. Educators can use EEM Tech’s great platform to leverage when/what subject matter students are struggling with, and can clearly identify who needs additional support!
Behaviour Monitoring Tools
Monitoring student behaviour is an important aspect of classroom dynamics. Ideally, a good platform will provide a way to be informed about incidents, reward systems, warnings, trends of behaviour, etc. Over time, data like this leads to greater understanding of individual requirements.
Homework/Assignment Management
Teachers should be able to easily upload homework, set due dates, and track submissions. Students and parents should also automatically receive reminders. This makes learning outside the classroom manageable, and also holds everyone accountable for timeline-based activities.
Digital Resource Sharing
An important component of assessment is the ability to upload and share various kinds of study material i.e., notes, videos and lessons, Powerpoint files, etc. Specifically, upload and share content whether it’s a class assessment, additional reading, or a recorded lesson so that all materials provided have various file formats and are easily accessible by students.
Parent Communication
Effective communication between the school and home is vital. The platform should be able to have messaging and meeting scheduling capabilities, event updates, and regular messaging updates for parents. EEM Tech provides schools with a communication system that connects the school to the parents through student-teachers with no need for any extra apps.
Class Scheduling and Calendar
A feature-rich scheduling tool provides clear visibility into class schedules, exam schedules, and events. Your school’s calendar should be visible to teachers, students, and parents in order to keep all members of the school community on the same page.
Multi-Device Access
In a hybrid learning environment, availability is key. It is important to ensure that a classroom management platform works equally well on a desktop, tablet, and smart phone. The more user-friendly a platform is across all three devices, the more likely teachers and students will use it daily.
Safe Data Management
Managing sensitive information like student records, grades, and medical history requires robust security protocols. Look for encrypted access, role-based access, and regular backups to keep your data secure.
Customizable Features
Every school is unique. Whether it’s the grading system, classroom layout or discipline policy, your classroom management software should be flexible to meet your individual needs. EEM Tech understands this and provides fully customizable modules to meet individual school end user needs.
Selecting a classroom management solution takes more than just technology. It represents a commitment to support teachers, empower students, and engage parents.
