Classroom Procedures For Preschool Classroom

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

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.

I observed the preschool classroom of Ms. K. Today was a smaller group, as several children are on vacation. This is a new facility and just the host teacher was in there at this time. I came into the classroom at 8:00 and left at 9:00. I spoke with the host teacher before and after the observation for feedback, which I felt was beneficial to both her and me. I observed the children during inside for 20 minutes. I observed the children during outside play for 40 minutes.

Classroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students, while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom management is really hard and there are many theorists that talk about it and each is different from the other where each theorist has his/her own ideas and thoughts. Some of them are mentioned below.

We have had indoor recess every day that I interned with Mrs. Holt. During this time, students can choose between games, drawing and computers. The computers (Chrome books) are the most popular! We have at least twenty of them and each one is typically checked out. I have noticed that when the kids pack them away they are reaching around each other,

This would include everything from the way desks should be arranged and the order subjects are taught, to the type of activities given to enhance a lesson.  Planning of these things will help classroom management run much more smoothly.  Finally, classroom management requires consistency, particularly with discipline.  Inconsistent teachers who discipline only half of the time it is needed, send mixed messages to that child as well as to his/her classmates.  Teachers need to remember that following through with what they said helps the child remember that their undesirable behavior will not be tolerated and that there are consequences for their actions.  Consistency is a skill that teachers should make sure they have when they step into a classroom.  Flexibility, careful planning and consistency are key components, I think, that teachers would find helpful when dealing with classroom management.

In early learning environments, children acquire knowledge and develop cognitive, social and emotional, physical and language acquisition skills in the content areas such as language arts, math, science, and social studies in a variety of ways. It is up to the teachers to plan and implement in-depth studies of themes and topics that are meaningful and relevant to the children, being sure to address the development of the whole child while integrating all of the content areas. In the physical classroom the environment should provide students with hands-on opportunities to grow and develop skills, gain knowledge, and have fun as they explore carefully designed learning centers. They should be provided with materials that are related to

There are many things that go into a successful, well-managed classroom, but one of the biggest determining factors is establishing positive procedures for daily tasks and activities. Students crave a stable and predictable environment where they know exactly what to expect and how to succeed, and teaching procedures does just that. Procedures provide structure to both students and teachers, ensuring that the classroom is a familiar and secure place that everyone can rely on. Obviously choosing the right rules and procedures for a classroom is entirely up to the instructor; but no matter the procedure, teachers must clearly define what they expect from their students from the very beginning. It is essential

In the following report we will examine all of the elements of a Kindergarten classroom that I observed in Miss. Phillips classroom. I will cover over the school, the student’s participation, and the teacher’s overall. I will also include a Building report card. I will discuss how much the experience had an impact on me.

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

Reflecting on class readings, class discussions, case study observations and activities, I find that testing and accountability is negatively impacting instruction in early childhood classrooms at three levels. First, I believe that in this era of high-stakes accountability teachers are being both implicitly and explicitly forced to teach to the test. For example, during my three classroom observations that I conducted, I witnessed how the lead teacher was more concerned about coverage of the material versus students actually understanding and being comfortable with the content. Consequently, I believe this teacher practice led to students misbehaving or not understanding additional problems. It appeared that children were not making connections about the information being taught and therefore were not able to see purpose and larger goals of the lesson (Krechevsky, Mardell, Rivard, & Wilson, 2013).

Parents with babies, toddlers and preschool age kids are noticing the recent increase in local classes and activities offered for their little ones. With this growth comes the need for moms to either be selective in choosing appropriate classes or choose to put aside a chunk of free time to allow their children's' participation in the increased classes. TotActivities.com CEO Jeffrey Roth sees a trend toward quantity but not necessarily over quality in the current online environment.

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

The first day, the teacher should be prepared for anything that can come up through the day such as knowing the emergency exits just in case of any drills, where to get the textbooks or supplies, what to do if the child gets sick in the room, how to contact the office or janitor, and if it rains to know where to pick up the students (17-18 classroom discipline and control: 101 practical techniques).
