Classroom Plan For A Classroom Management Plan

A classroom is where students spend their days, Monday through Friday. I want to create a classroom that provides structure for my students. Organization of the classroom will allow the students to have access to any and all instruction and materials. According to Linsin, (2010), “A classroom management plan is a contract that you make with your students that promises you will protect their rights to learn and enjoy school without interference,” (date). Creating classroom rules with the entire class gives students a sense of empowerment, thus felling more at liberty to follow the rules “they” created. Often times when there are too many rules in place students can feel overwhelmed with expectations “they” feel they may not meet. In my classroom I do believe rules to follow are important, but believe that goals are far more important for my students.

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.

In my opinion, it is important to have students help create the rules as a class at the beginning of the year, to provide them with the leadership and have a clear understanding of what is expected of them. The class will create 2-5 non-negotiable rules to follow in the classroom that is observable and measurable to govern the classroom. The rules will help create and maintain a positive learning environment. All rules will be written and posted throughout the classroom. The rules will be taught, practiced, and reinforced throughout the

I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career.  Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself.  Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher.  It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be evolving as necessary as I gain more experience and insight into the field of teaching.  Also, my classroom management plan may need to be altered to fit my specific group of students.

The classroom management plan created in EDEL 441 contains a variety of components that are essential to managing the classroom. The classroom management plan encompasses a classroom climate statement, a plan for building a classroom community through classroom responsibilities, a classroom diagram, and a classroom arrangement statement. Additionally, the classroom management plan contains procedures for lining up and walking in a line, cafeteria procedures and expectations, and a statement of why teaching procedures is important to the management of the classroom. Furthermore, the classroom management plan provides information regarding the importance of using a variety of instructional methods, a behavior plan using positive reinforcements,

A teacher in the classroom setting is considered a professional in that environment because they have the training and skills necessary by which to create a setting which is conducive to learning. To aide in the establishment of a setting which is conducive to learning the teacher must create guidelines which help to provide structure for expected behavior as well as for the dissemination of information between teacher and student. Organization and careful planning are two elements which help to

Classroom rules are very simple if you do what's needed and obey each and everyone. You will be expected to respect everyone in class and outside of class. Being respectful not with just your teachers but our fellow students, guest, teachers and staff. No getting out

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

Statement of Purpose: This classroom is a place where students can feel safe and comfortable with their learning abilities. Each student is expected to follow directions and be respectful to one another. This is an environment that is committed to providing students with the necessary skills to become successful in the future.

Teachers are not only expected to teach their students, but also provide an environment where everyone feels safe and can learn. Classroom management is a very important part of teaching. Students cannot learn in an unsafe, disruptive environment. This paper will discuss the strategy of SHAPING, how it is used to modify a student’s behavior, and give an example of how to modify a student’s behavior. This paper will also discuss my personal beliefs about classroom management, share rules and expectations for the classroom, rewards for individuals and the class, designing the classroom where the teacher is visible and there are no distractions, and discuss some classroom procedures and how they contribute to classroom management

Teachers are expected to create meaningful and engaging instruction aligned with the Common Core State Standards, while also creating a classroom management plan that enhances student achievement. Jones and Jones (2013) quote Woolfolk and Weinstein (2006) in their book, Comprehensive Classroom Management, stating that “What students want are teachers who establish caring relationships, set limits and create a safe environment … and make learning fun” (2013, p. 59). I strive to achieve this in my classroom each day as I greet students at the door, shaking their hand and making small talk with them, establish fair and consistent rules and procedures, and by building positive student-teacher relationships while making learning fun through the use of hands-on-activities, role playing, and creative constructions.

Developing an ideal classroom that is well-managed does not require any special power. It requires a simple skill called thought and heart. One of the key components of becoming a successful and ultimately great teacher is how you manage the classroom. Sports analysts say the most intelligent quarterbacks are the best game managers. Teachers play the quarterback role and Game Day, with the offense and defense out on the field, is the classroom of students.

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

cuts down on the misbehavior that you would have to deal with if you did not have rules

            There is nothing more frustrating than a room where you can’t find anything and are unsure of your boundaries. Classroom management begins even before the students enter the classroom on the first day. In order to establish the proper work environment students should have an assignment waiting on their desks as soon as they enter the room. In my case this will be some sort of a tell me about yourself and what you think about science activity. In addition teachers should greet their students at the door with directions for seating and instruction to alleviate some of the confusion that usually plagues classrooms on the first day. It doesn’t matter if teachers
