INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 2 Instructional Management Plan To achieve success, teachers must possess a classroom management plan. This plan equips them with the necessary rules to be followed and helps them achieve their envisioned objectives. By having a management plan in place, teachers are relieved of concerns regarding classroom rules, communication with parents or guardians, and crucially, emergency preparedness and drills. Goal of Plan The implementation of my management plan will cater to kindergarten students who are at the beginning of their educational journey, typically aged 5-6 years. This plan is specifically tailored for students who may be entering a classroom setting for the first time and lacking any prior classroom experience. For the kindergarten management plan to successfully fulfill its objectives, the foremost priority is to establish a safe and welcoming environment that benefits both the students and gains parental approval. As some parents may be inclined to volunteer, it is crucial for the management plan to foster collaboration effectively by being friendly, secure, and instructional, thereby ensuring the attainment of my goals. To ensure the attractiveness of this classroom and the presence of appropriate learning centers that are both positive and enjoyable, it is crucial to always maintain a positive and friendly environment, devoid of any traces of negativity. The classroom should be kept clean and
INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 3 comfortable, with ample open space for easy movement and regular check-ins with each student. This setup will enable me to foster a friendly, supportive, and respectful atmosphere, encouraging students to openly express their thoughts and emotions without fear. Rules and Expectations My students will greatly benefit from understanding my expectations for them in the classroom. They will learn the importance of making choices that can have either positive or negative consequences, and how to take responsibility for their actions. By implementing research-based strategies in each key area, teachers can effectively prevent misbehavior and avoid the need for extrinsic reward systems. Ultimately, effective classroom management is crucial for successful teaching as it creates an orderly and conducive environment for learning (Garrett, 2013). In this classroom, there will be a set of rules that must be adhered to, to ensure good behavior and manners. Failure to comply with these rules will result in consequences. It is important to note that all students will be treated fairly and equally, even when it comes to punishment. Respect towards one another is expected from every student in this classroom. Any form of bullying, fighting, or running will not be tolerated. If a student has a question or needs to use a facility, they must always raise their hand to be acknowledged. On special occasions such as Halloween or Christmas, food and drinks will be permitted. Every day, the students will begin by placing their belongings in their designated cubbies and proceeding to their assigned group table. We will then commence with attendance and proceed to teach the pledge of allegiance, informing them of the day's agenda. Following this lesson at their group table, they will move from one learning center to another, spending 20 minutes at each center within the allotted one hour and 30 minutes. Subsequently, they will take
INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 4 a 30-minute recess break before returning to the classroom. Upon their return, they will transition to their lunch break, which will take place daily in the cafeteria and last for 25 minutes. They will have 5 minutes remaining to clean up their trash and dispose of it in the garbage, as well as to use the restroom if necessary. Subsequently, proceed to the designated location where we will convene daily and form an organized line, showcasing our fashion sense, as we return to the classroom. Following this, on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, we will distribute books and engage in reading sessions on the rug. On Wednesdays and Fridays, we will partake in an activity that combines education and enjoyment, such as art, writing, or activities involving numbers. Additionally, on Fridays, we will have a show-and-tell session. Furthermore, at the end of each day, one student will have the privilege of taking home the classroom's stuffed animal, allowing them to learn the importance of responsibility in caring for a "pet." In this classroom, students will receive behavior cards that will be displayed on the wall, each with their names on them. These cards will indicate the students' behavior and its significance. There will be three different colored cards: green for good behavior, yellow as a warning, and red as a signal for parents to be contacted. Initially, students will start with a green card on their cardholder, indicating good behavior. However, if a student engages in any form of misconduct, their card will be changed to yellow. If this behavior persists, their card will be changed to red, and immediate communication or discussion with the parents will take place at the end of the day. If a student consistently receives a red card, they will be referred to the principal's office, where parental involvement is required. Additionally, I will regularly engage the students in discussions about the rules and their importance. My classroom must provide a safe environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and creativity. I have
