Effectiveness Of Effective Classroom Management Educators

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.

An essential tool to create a safe environment for students to learn is classroom management. I hope to create an effective classroom management plan that dissolves barriers that are stopping students from learning. I am highly committed to make my classroom a safe environment where my students are provided with the best opportunity to be challenged and engaged in learning. As a special education teacher, I seek to meet the needs of every student I work with, so they have a sense of belonging in my classroom. I believe belonging will create a classroom atmosphere that will be conducive to student-centered learning in which all students are challenged to be critical thinkers.

I believe that each child is unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invite a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment namely, the teacher acting guide, allowing the child’s natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, promoting respect for all the things and all the people.

Throughout this class, I have learned varies of insights from the readings. Classroom Management for Elementary Teachers, has influenced me and ultimately made me see the world of education differently. Before taking this course, I never knew what it meant to have classroom management nor did I realize how important it is to foster student engagement. I learned that classroom management is a broad concept that encompasses the set of behaviors and strategies that teachers use to guide in their classroom. The book gave me new insight on increase attention, interventions, and incentives to help discourage inappropriate behavior that I will take with me. I learned that it takes time, effort, and planning to organize an effective classroom. I never realized the amount of work it takes to promote student involvement and engagement, while at the same time making sure that students have a desirable attitude.

I believe that in order to maintain a safe classroom-learning environment I as the teacher need to create and demonstrate positive boundaries, letting the students know that I am in charge. Setting constructive boundaries prevents conflict amongst students, instead of students correcting one another they allow me as the teacher to respond to inappropriate behaviors. Also as the teacher, I will demonstrate to my students how they should respond to inappropriate behavior from their peers.

If students do not feel safe in my classroom, whether it is emotionally, physically, or socially, their defense systems will go up and learning will greatly decrease, if not shut down all together. It is important to me that all students, as well as their parent, other teachers, administrators, and people in the community, see me as someone they can approach, who displays warmth and compassion, passionate about teaching their child, and nondiscriminatory. My classroom is also a community where each child can blossom and grow. I allow my students to become responsible members of the classroom community by using strategies such as morning meetings, class jobs, problem-solving skills and positive discipline. In showing children how to become responsible for themselves as well as their own learning, I am giving them the tools to become successful in life, to believe in themselves, and to love

I believe that a well managed classroom provides safety, education and respect and fosters an environment of team work and empathy. In order to support and encourage learning in a classroom environment, students should feel comfortable and safe both physically and emotionally. Behavior, character, independence, attitudes, and academics are all learned in a classroom. They should feel they have the right to contribute and be part of class activities. They should feel they deserve the respect and consideration of myself and their peers. I intend to establish and maintain a classroom where learning will be optimized and rewarding. My role as a teacher is as a guide, it is my responsibility to create an environment where students will develop self management over their learning and the self efficacy that will motivate them to try.

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

Through the classes and field experience I have completed at Southern University, I have developed a personal teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my future classrooms. It is my desire as a teacher to provide students with a safe, fun environment that promotes learning and excellence in the classroom. These are three areas that I believe is conductive to establishing an environment, (1) motivating students to the full potential, (2) promoting preventive and supportive behavior, and (3) the teacher acting as a guide.

An important attribute for teachers to possess is maintaining a strong classroom management plan. It all starts at the door on day one, this sets the tone for the school year. With this classroom management plan you must remain consistent. Students strive under consistent environments. This consistency ensures that all students understand the expectations and rules of your classroom. Along with this consistency, you also must maintain a nurturing and compassionate classroom. Having a nurturing and compassionate classroom allows for students to feel safe and accepted. With today's schools becoming more multi-culturally diverse and the implementations of inclusion, it is important for teachers to have the ability to adapt their classroom environment

In reading the article, “Managing Your Classroom for Success,” I was incredibly excited to know that the article was written by Rosemary and Harry Wong. In my previous research on classroom management, I learned that Harry Wong was one of the most sought after speakers on teacher effectiveness.

The first step in classroom management is to create an environment where students feel cared for and valued. To do accomplish this, teachers need to build positive student-teacher relationships. Marazano (2003) reports in his book, Classroom Management That Works, which is cited in the Jones and Jones (2013) book, that “Positive teacher-student relationships were the foundation of effective classroom management” (p.56). I am committed to creating a safe learning environment that is organized, structured and conducive to student learning. While influencing a classroom of community learners, I strive to also build positive teacher-student relationship with all of my

I believe Classroom Management is the key component in any educational setting. I believe that if students are in a safe environment, then learning can take place. This doesn’t necessarily mean punishing behavior problems but rather a combination of setting the tone in a class, preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging curriculums and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all students to learn is my major goal of implementing good classroom management--without it the students would not be able to

An effective classroom management plan creates an inviting environment in which all students have the opportunity to engage in a learning experience which includes both socially acceptable behavior and content core material. The strategies within the proposal allows the teacher to reach the personal, psychological, and learning needs of the student while encouraging positive, productive behavior in order to reach students’ personal goals (Jones & Jones, 2013, p. 1). One’s philosophy of classroom management becomes individualized because of the personal experiences and perspective which each instructor brings into the classroom setting. Therefore, the components which encapsulate one’s philosophy of classroom management includes an understanding of why students misbehave, what makes a classroom plan affective, keys to student engagement, and how one’s personal experiences shape one’s interpretation of the theory of classroom management.
