Classroom Discipline and Management for the Beginning Teacher

Classroom management promotes students greatest ability to learn. A teacher who exhibits positive classroom management makes the biggest difference in the

Classroom management is vital to the survival of a positive classroom environment. Rules could be established in a democratic way. Ask the students what rules they think are appropriate in a classroom setting, based on rules from their previous classes. Students should feel that their opinion is important. Communication, respect, and considerate behavior will be encouraged. It is important to manage all discipline problems consistently, effectively and most importantly inside the classroom. As the teacher, it will be important to navigate behavior and promote individual growth when dealing with

I believe that when students are in a safe environment, learning can take place. This doesn’t necessarily mean punishing behavioral problems but rather a combination of setting the tone in a class. That is, preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging curriculum and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all students to learn is a major goal of implementing good classroom management. Without it the students will not be able to learn.

Good classroom and behaviour management is essential for a lesson to run smoothly. Knowing how to anticipate and manage problems will ensure that students spend maximum time on task, and those students who are eager to learn are

When diving into the world of teaching, there are many important aspects that are essential in order to create a successful classroom environment; one in particular being, classroom management. Understanding what classroom management, classroom discipline, teacher characteristics, behavior management, and teacher organization are all crucial components of what makes a successful classroom. Of course, with every grade level comes a different style of classroom management; however, for this particular paper the targeted grade - level is lower elementary school.

Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior, chaos becomes the norm. In these situations, both teachers and students suffer. Teachers struggle to teach, and students most likely learn much less than they should. In contrast, well-managed classrooms provide a learning environment in which teaching and learning can flourish. The classroom is a workshop for learning, and the physical layout and the uses you make of it will affect learning as well as student-student and student-teacher relationships (Van Brummelen, 2009).

I believe classroom management is extremely significant for teachers and effective teachers know how to manage the classroom while helping students to behave appropriately. In order to be an effective ESL teacher, I will use demonstrating expectations, creating a safe learning environment, building a positive relationship, redirecting inappropriate behavior, and motivating in managing my future classroom.

My philosophy of classroom management is to allow students to be responsible for their own behavior at all times. I believe allowing students to be responsible for their behavior and actions allow them to have a sense of freedom. When students have freedom, they seem to be more successful and respectful. Classroom management is more successful when the class is student-centered. Students should be included in the planning of classroom rules, room arrangement, and communication should flow smoothly between teacher and student. Although the class is student-centered the teacher should be in control of the classroom. The teacher should know what is going on at all times, plan interesting and informative lessons, and be

The Classroom management presentation attached demonstrates my understanding of effective classroom organization and management and behavior management strategies. This presentation demonstrates my understanding of classroom management by stating expectations in the classroom. The presentation was created in using developmentally appropriate language. In order for students to understand emergency procedures, I included step-by-step instructions along with photographs to ensure the students understanding. Within my presentation is a discipline procedure. The discipline procedure included is Class Dojo. Class Dojo tracks student behavior throughout the day with a point system. The students earn points for excellent behavior and lose points when their behavior needs improvement. There is a reward and/or consequence for student behavior. The class, as a whole, can receive points in order for all students to receive praise throughout the day. To ensure student behavior, a report is sent to parents electronically at the end of the day. In the event of misbehavior, parents are to sign and

My classroom management philosophy is based on a combination of psychoeducational and behavioural theories which, will actively provide an environment where students are engaged, motivated and display appropriate behaviours (Lyons, Ford & Slee, 2014). Using psychoeducational theories as a basis, I will create a learning environment that implements student-teacher relationships, differentiated classroom instruction with equal opportunity to learning and an environment where students feel safe, valued and that they belong (Lyons et al., 2014). These strategies will provide many opportunities for students to learn regardless of where they come from or

As a teacher, I believe one of the most critical components for facilitating student’s learning journey throughout their schooling years is to have a strong knowledge and understanding of classroom management theories and strategies. I will be describing my awareness and understanding of what my philosophy is at this current point in time. I want to recognise that an effective teacher will develop this view over time and it will be ever changing depending on the situation that arise. To be an effective teacher requires patients, a nurturing nature, understanding, consistency and also to have fun while learning. My personal classroom management philosophy involves creating a positive co-operative learning

My philosophy for teaching is that all students deserve the best possible education a teacher can provide them, and that education begins with classroom management. Classroom management is the foundation to a proper education. The way a teacher manages his or her classroom determines how the classroom will function and how much information the students are able to learn throughout the school day and school year. Students need rules to follow in order to keep the classroom running smoothly. Without rules, students will be unruly and will cause disruptions that will prohibit their fellow classmates from being able to focus and comprehend the material being taught.

When I started teaching 17 years ago, I thought students would do what I asked them to do, because I asked. I have learned throughout the years that this is not always true, and that it is very important to have a classroom management plan ready every year before school starts. As a teacher, it is my job to provide a safe environment where my students feel welcome, and can receive the quality education they deserve. I believe that I should be assertive with discipline and teaching, have an organized, well-managed classroom, and teach students important social skills and how to behave appropriately in different situations they may encounter throughout their lives.

Classroom management is a key element to establish a successful learning environment in any classroom. An effective classroom management plan creates a positive learning environment. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behavior. Students’ behavior is influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Teachers need a diverse array of classroom management skills to facilitate learning. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning. Students in effectively managed classrooms know and follow clearly defined rules and routines. A classroom management plan should provide
