Characteristics of the classroom at school

It is no secret that the work of the class teacher is also filling out all kinds of reports, drawing up memos, writing other documentation. The psychological and pedagogical characteristic of the class team stands out against this background. None of the teachers interacts so closely with the group of children as its classroom teacher. In this document, the latter must act not only as a teacher, but also as a psychologist, observer, and statistician. What sections the characteristic includes, how to properly format it, we will consider in the article.

Front sheet

There are no strict unified rules for the design of the first page of the characteristics of the class team. However, it is important to display the following (in order) information on it:

• The full official name of the institution.
• The inscription "Characteristic", hereinafter - class, school, settlement. For example: "Characteristic of a class team of 6-D class, Municipal secondary school No. 500 of Moscow"
• Fulfilled (a): subject teacher, F. I. O., classroom guidance. Example: "Teacher of the Russian language and literature Ivanova D.V., class teacher 6-D class."
• At the bottom of the page is your city, year of drawing up the document.

Content Characteristics of a Classroom Team

Again, there is no unified list of topics that the class teacher should display in the report. However, we recommend that you build a pedagogical characteristic of the classroom team, based on the following plan:

1. General information about the group.
2. The structure of the children's team. The main processes that occur within the group.
3. The specifics of communication between students.
4. Cognitive potential of children, their academic success.
5. Creative activity of students.
6. The issue of education, assimilation of social experience.
7. The physical development of the guys.
8. The presence of bad habits, a tendency to immoral behavior.
9. Characteristics of families, parents of students.
10. General conclusions, suggestions.

And now we will analyze in detail each of the items presented.

General information

So, what should be noted by the teacher in this section of the classroom characteristics:

1. The specifics of the group: general education, with mathematical, humanitarian and other bias.
2. The number of children, the number of boys and girls.
3. Years of birth of students. For example: "2007 - 18 people, 2008 - 6 people."
4. A brief history of the formation of the team: how many children were in the classroom initially, who came to the group later.
5. If this is a characteristic of a classroom elementary school staff, then it is important to indicate which pre-school institutions students came from.
6. Where do the guys mostly live? Is someone coming from another area, settlement?
7. General assessment of academic performance, the number of excellent students and good students. Conclusion on the quality of knowledge.
8. Assessment of passes, their main reasons.
9. The general conclusion about the relationship to each other, teachers, the educational process.
10. In percent, imagine which of the guys is engaged in creativity, attends intellectual circles, sports sections.

Team structure

In this part of the characteristics of the class (class group), the teacher must show himself as a teacher-psychologist, and also show how much he is aware of the situation in the children's group. Reveal the essence here will help reflection of the following issues:

1. How do you generally evaluate relations in the class: the team is friendly, fragmented, with the presence of hostile groups?
2. A few words about self-government: how do the guys relate to their responsibilities? Are they proactive? Do self-government functions benefit?
3. What groups are there in the class (list the names of the students)? On the basis of what did they form?
4. Are there any closed, unsociable guys? Who is it? Why did you get such a problem?
5. Who behaves independently, apart? How do you characterize these children?
6. Who is the formal and informal leader in the team ? How do other children relate to these children? Are there positive and negative leaders, who is this?

Communication specifics

A small but important section. Of course, it’s difficult to write something special in the characterization of a class collective of class 1, but still you need to pay attention to the topic.

So what should be reflected here:

1. Overall assessment of communication between the guys.
2. What companionable feelings have they developed: mutual assistance, a sense of community, trust in each other?
3. The relationship between boys and girls.
4. How would you generally describe your students? Friendly, spiteless, outgoing?
5. What are the most common deviations from exemplary behavior?
6. How do they spend extracurricular hours? Are they getting together?

Cognitive potential

In this part, the characteristics of the class team (classes 2, 3, 1 can already be described quite fully here), you evaluate the guys not as a psychologist, but as a teacher. Follow this plan:

1. Assessment of attention (steady, distracted), performance (low to medium, high).
2. What type of memory is most developed in children?
3. What are their educational successes? Are the guys able to analyze, draw general conclusions, structure information?
4. What is the result of their independent work?
5. What is cognitive activity (high to low)?
6. How do they relate to the educational process, to the school in general?
7. Are there any students with problems in this regard? Which ones?

Creative activity

The item is no less important than everyone else - it speaks of the comprehensive development of the guys. What is important to note here:

1. Do children participate in classroom and school extracurricular activities? Are they interested in this, are they proactive?
2. How do you feel about losing and winning? How do they show themselves in team training?
3. Can they independently come up with a number, a sketch, a different performance? Do they need your help in this, or enough ideas, a “push”?
4. Which of the guys do you highlight creatively? Why?

Parenting issues

Here the class teacher is an observer. Quite a tricky point - you have to express not only professional, but also everyday personal opinion. The easiest way to open the topic, answering the following questions:

1. How do you generally assess the level of education, the culture of behavior of the guys? Are their families prosperous, or are parents not giving children the proper attention?
2. Do the guys already have some formed life principles, moral ideas, rules of communication? Briefly mention them.
3. What is the discipline in and out of class? What are they mostly doing during breaks?
4. Do children allow slander, physical violence, bullying?
5. How do they behave in public places during school trips?

Physical health class

Here is what is important enough to reflect in this section:

1. How do you generally assess the physical condition of the children (absolutely, relatively healthy, have serious health problems).
2. List in percent, how many students have a basic, preparatory, special group on physical education.
3. What are the most common health problems (including those based on absenteeism)?
4. Special attention to the guys with a special group on physical education. Who is it? What are their problems?

Tendency to immoral behavior

A very serious part of the characterization. Here's what teachers want to say here:

1. Are there any “difficult” children in the class? Who is it? Why did you give such a characteristic?
2. Who is registered in PDN, KDN? What are the reasons for this?
3. Note which of the students has a tendency to vagrancy, theft, drinking alcohol, smoking or other harmful and dangerous habits for children.

Characteristics of parents and families of students

The class leader draws information for this section from the practice of conducting parent-teacher meetings and in person-to-person communication with the families of his students. Here is what is important to display here:

1. Describe families - complete, incomplete. Highlight which of the students is an orphan, brought up by guardians, who are from a large family.
2. What, in your opinion, is the atmosphere in the families of students? Who has a problem? What is their plan?
3. How do parents relate to school, class life, personally to you? Are they interested in the marks of children, their relationships with other children, the successes and failures of their son or daughter?
4. Which parent is the most active? Who is the parent committee of the school?
5. How do parents behave in a meeting? Who is the most active and who prefers to be a spectator?
6. What are the statistics for meeting attendance? Are there any parents who systematically miss them?

General conclusions and suggestions

Such a large amount of work needs to be summarized, general conclusions that would have "squeezed out" all the most valuable of the written. We invite the teacher to go this way here:

1. Write how much the cool team is formed (from low to high). Briefly argue this conclusion. Make a few suggestions for a more satisfactory result: organization of general leisure, games to build a sense of community, psychological assistance to especially reserved children, and so on.
2. Your general conclusions about academic performance and performance. Characterization of the positive and negative traits of the guys as members of the team. Assessment of their culture of behavior, communication skills. How to help them in a more successful socialization?
3. Spiritual and moral development. What do parents and schools need to do so that each and every child in the future becomes worthy to imitate?

The work ends with the recording "Class teacher: painting, F. I. O.".

That's all we wanted to tell you about the version of the most comprehensive and comprehensive characteristics of the class team. By answering the questions within each section, the teacher will be able to describe the life of his class most fully.
