Chelonnda Classroom Procedures

A consistent approach to behaviour helps pupils learn right from wrong and to appreciate that rules exist for the good of everyone.

Slavin discusses the use the following principles as a guideline for reinforcing behaviors in the classroom:

A procedure is a step to be taken in the classroom - It is a doing - An action. It is the way things are done in the classroom. A procedure is NOT a rule. A rule ensures safety. A procedure ensures order and routine. A procedure gets FORM to your classroom. It trains your students on how to do the important things in your classroom. A procedure is a “how-to” for the way things work in your classroom. IMPORTANT DISTINCTION Procedures are never rewarded or

I have gained the knowledge of consequences and incentives that are effective and also ineffective to use. By gaining this knowledge I know that during my years to come of teaching I will be able to use effective consequences and incentives for my class. I have obtained the skill of keeping an organized room, through learning how to setup the room in such a way that will benefit student learning and my teaching. The text book used and classroom lectures that I brought into this artifact opened my eyes to many details that I will bring to my elementary class. What I found to be the most useful of completing this artifact was the first part in figuring out my philosophy of classroom management, I felt that this was useful because I had to think of what a good teacher was and why I will make a good teacher and how classroom management will play a role in me becoming a good

She told me about her classroom rules which are mutual respect, attentive listening and appreciations no put downs. She spent the first three weeks of school going over these three rules and afterwards she had each student write their name on colored paper which is their contract, their signature on that paper means they will follow those rules throughout the year. She has another rule in her classroom called “Kelso’s Choices”. Kelso’s Choices are nine different choices they can make on how to solve their problems in class. When the students come to an issue they have to choose two of the choices on the poster before going to the teacher. Some of the choices on there include, walking away, talking it out, apologizing, telling them to stop, etc. I really liked the idea of Kelso’s Choices because it teaches them problem solving as well as social skills. Instead of being unfair or going to the teacher they have the opportunity to solve the issues and be fair towards each other.

It is essential that students receive realistic and immediate feedback that enhances self-efficacy. It is imperative that I return student work in a timely fashion so they can reflect on their work because “students’ achievements are enhanced by providing them with information about their current level of performance followed by specific learning tasks aimed at mastering the material” (Jones & Jones, p. 285). I will be able to correct faulty thinking by my students when I return their work in a timely fashion which will prevent future mistakes over the same topic. It is vital to the success of my students that they experience a safe, well-organized learning environment in my classroom. It is a necessity that students feel safe and comfortable in the classroom so I can challenge them to reach their goals in a

In part 2, I will provide a critical reflection on my own teaching practice during recent placement by making detailed connections to an appended lesson plan.

Describe any appropriate and/or inappropriate practices throughout your lesson. Describe the practice time provided for your students during the lesson.

Review: Throuout the quarter, I have learned that because children learn differently it’s important for us as teachers to make sure that the classroom rules are clear for all children. If there is confusion it’s important for us teachers to explain them so that the children are not confused. Because if the classroom rules are unclear or not communicated enoght to the children they will negect the rules and do what they want. In addition, if the children don’t get discipline at home or don’t have clear established rules at home those children will have a harder time adjusting to having to follow directions more than a child who has a regualr sechedule and clear rules in and outside the home. Finally, rules are pro-active tools because, with

As educators, it is important to acknowledge and implement these polices when planning activities/lessons/curriculum in the classroom. This essay aims to

In addition to interactive best practice principles comes from both the students and teachers of the classroom. During

One of the first set of lessons we will have on this day is classroom rules. A short, slightly entertaining presentation will be given in regards to why we have rules, and what are the specific rules for our classroom. After the presentation, the students’ will have an opportunity to discuss the rules with a partner by explaining to one another what they believe each of the rules means. We will return to whole class discussion and I will take volunteers to those willing to share what they and their partner came up with. At this time, I will clear up any confusion that any students may have, then ask them to return to their partner to discuss ways you can show what these rules mean; as well as, show what they do not mean. We will return to whole class discussion and I will take any volunteers to act out the individual rules of what they mean and what they do not mean. After each rule is acted out by the volunteer, I will allow the students to act them out as well in their seats. I will take any questions at this time and then assign a small classroom rules quiz to ensure each one of the students knows what is expected of them. They will have the opportunity to correct each other’s quiz and receive immediate

In order to provide a safe-learning for every student in a class it’s important to have specific rules in place to help assist with classroom management. For example, its important to have specific classroom rules in place, establish classroom routines and procedures starting at the beginning of the year, along with seating charts that provide students with the best learning opportunities that match their individual needs. Students should feel safe in the classroom to participate in class discussion or ask questions when needed to enhance teacher and peer relationship. The suggestions above will go into more detailed below.

Initial thoughts: There is many technique Ms. Rollison can use to help with her students behaving appropriately in the classroom. One technique she could use is at the beginning of the year ask the students what type of rule they would like to have in the classroom. The student will more likely obey the class rules because they had a part in

A teacher should teach, demonstrate, establish, and enforce classroom procedures and routines at the start of the year to manage the classroom behaviors. Rules and procedures support teaching and learning and provide students with clear expectations and well-defined norms. Teachers can create a respectful, supportive learning environment when they have an understanding of the diverse learning in the
