My Hybrid Classroom Management Plan

classroom where my students are treated equally. I will not put my students down or label them

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

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

Plans for managing diverse behaviours in the classroom refers to a variety of ways for dealing with discipline in a diverse classroom. Therefore, in the efforts to establish a plan for managing diverse behaviour in the classroom, a teacher must acquire effective skills and instruction for dealing with misbehaviours. The teacher should incorporate techniques that entails the establishing and enforcing rules that are clear and understandable, providing supportive feedbacks to students and using corrective strategies to prevent and control misbehaviour (Wolfgang, C., 2009).

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

I believe that my classroom management plan will provide my students with a safe and supportive learning environment by allowing students the freedom to grow while offering support when they need help moving forward. A middle school classroom should be a nurturing place where students can come to learn without constant judgment from their peers or teachers. The teacher should create an environment that keeps children safe from physical harm as well as create a classroom culture that is supportive and caring. In order to create such a culture the teacher needs to use the correct management models such as the Positive Discipline model and the Cooperative Discipline model. With these two model in use I believe I can create such an environment.

            The theoretical perspectives of Linda Albert, Lee and Marlene Canter, and Rudolph Dreikurs clarify my perspective on classroom management. These theorist's theories can be classified as teacher-centered, and they focus on how to deal with students' misbehavior. I think it is extremely important to know how to manage a student's misbehavior, so that we can have a pleasing learning environment.

By reflecting on my prior discussion questions and assignments, I have solidified the importance of establishing an all encompass classroom management plan in order to execute an effective learning environment. By refining my classroom management plan by incorporating strategies which enhance student engagement while decreasing disruptions within the classroom. For example by clearly stating expectations both to students and their parents, all parties are aware of the standards by which the classroom will function and the means by which failure to meet such standards will be dealt with and communicated. Or by responding to misbehavior by instilling habitude and kaizen characteristic in order to engage students to stay on task and develop skills to cooperate in group’s activities so they might achieve their goals for the 21st century learning

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

Teachers who incorporate the use of effective classroom management procedures promote independent learning and a greater success for their students in classrooms that are orderly, pleasant and productive (Rademacher, Callahan and Pederson-Seelye, 1998). Establishing routines that help to manage time, instruction, materials and student behaviour is essential to increasing student involvement across all areas of their learning. My approaches to creating rules for classroom are aligned with Dreikurs Goal centred Theory where facilitating mutual respect and understanding about rules, procedures and responses to misbehaviour is fostered. As Richard Curwin and Allen Mendler (1988) demonstrate in their research there is a great importance of student input in the establishment of classroom rules and procedures which should be viewed as a contract between the two. I would like to create a classroom constitution for any inconsistency in behaviour where students can be involved in the making of rules as

I believe my role as a teacher is to lead the classroom. My role is to provide

In my classroom I plan on being the ‘head’ of the classroom. I will expect the children to listen to me. I plan on using a blend of assertive discipline, as set forth my Lee and Marlene Canter, and democratic classroom, as set forth by Alfie Kohn. There will be certain rules each child will be expected to follow and consequences and rewards based on the following of the rules. I don’t want to simply punish though; I want to try and understand why a student acts up or

Classroom management is necessary to maintain the positive behaviours and attitudes. A well managed classroom can provide an amazing learning experience for all the involved students as their behaviour can always affect this process. Classroom discipline plays a large part in today 's educational system. Many teachers feel powerless when dealing with discipline problems in their classrooms. Canter (1997) discussed, in the past, only a look from a teacher to the students was enough to manage and control the classroom. Then, because of the social and political eruptions of the late '60s and early '70s, the respect to any authority was dramatically declined. Therefore, it is important to find a behaviour management approach that is suitable to the students of this generation.

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

Lee Canter’s assertive discipline model is likely most often used in classrooms where the teacher operates under a legitimate authority base. While studies show that students learn best in classrooms where teachers display efferent or expert authority bases, I believe that there is some definite value in using a legitimate authority base when it comes to class discipline and management. The assertive discipline model encourages teachers to be proactive and anticipate that students will break the rules (Canter, ) Another main focus of Canter’s model is using assertive command, which means the teacher does not retreat to a nonassertive passive stance or to a hostile response when students misbehave, but rather repeats the rule to the student over and over before making a corrective action. I believe that using assertive command in the classroom allows students the chance to correct their actions and think
