Classroom Management Plan: Philosophy and Theory 1. Introduction For effective teaching and learning, classroom management is very important because it ensures that learning occurs smoothly. If the teacher does not manage his or her classroom well, delivery of the subject material can fail. The teacher must, therefore, have a clear plan for ensuring that the discipline is maintained and disruptive behavior is dealt with appropriately. A good classroom management plan secures that the teacher controls
Abstract My classroom management philosophy is a constant work in progress, but based off of personal experiences and major management theorists I have developed a basic philosophy to guide me through student teaching and the early years as a teacher. The core principles of my philosophy are rooted in establishing a classroom community and mutual respect between students and the teacher. The following essay outlines the theorists that have impacted my philosophy as well as ways I plan
The primary goal of an educator is to prepare students for the “real world”. By implementing key concepts of Glasser’s Choice Theory and Fay & Funk’s Love and Logic theory, I believe this goal can become a reality in the classroom. When used together, these classroom management philosophies have the potential to benefit students in a variety of ways and engage them In learning. When utilized correctly, these strategies hold the promise of allowing teachers, like myself, to develop positive
This essay will compare and contrast two theories of behaviour management by Carl Rogers and BF Skinner and argue ways in which one of these theories could be implemented for a particular context and practice. Roger’s theory is based on a humanistic approach, while Skinner’s theory takes a behaviourist approach; each theory has both benefits and shortcomings. Their views form opposite ends of the learning spectrum. These theories will be examined as their respective works address the underlying issue
Within the classroom, it’s very important to have classroom management. To successfully run a class doesn’t automatically mean that the children have to sit quietly and not talk or interact with each other. It’s actually the total opposite. To maintain proper classroom management means to have a relaxed and caring environment where the students are getting their work down and interaction is taking place. My classroom management philosophy deals with this thinking and combines three different theorist

Philosophy and Rationale “The assertiveness is a clear affirmation that both teachers and students are to be treated with respect” (Purkey, 2004, p. 100). My philosophy within the classroom, is creating and maintaining a sense of respect; a classroom where a mutual respect between myself and the students is seen among all who enter the classroom environment.

A classroom philosophy is fundamental for an effective educator, for not only does it set up one 's classroom but it also sets up the type of teacher that one wants to be. A classroom philosophy dictates everything from discipline to the way one presents information. It is the driving force in a teacher’s classroom and is often times directly related as to why that teacher wants to teach. Due to its importance, it is critical to examine a multitude of different philosophies before crafting one’s
My classroom management philosophy is rooted in B.F. Skinner’s Behavior Modification theory. I believe that negative and positive reinforcements are a key aspect in classroom management. Providing reinforcement increases the probability that a desired behavior will occur, while undesired behaviors will stop because they are not being reinforced (Manning and Bucher 47). Students who are demonstrating unacceptable behaviors may even begin to change their behavior in hopes of gaining approval through
