The Humanistic Perspective on Classroom Management

In order to be proficient in the art of teaching a teacher is required to do much more than walk into a classroom, walk up to the board, and begin to teach. Presenting a lesson is only one step when it comes to having a productive classroom. The state in which the children are in has a direct effect on the productivity of the classroom. The productivity has a direct relation to the classroom management set in place by the teacher. Throughout history there have been many theories regarding how to exhibit successful classroom management. One theorist in particular is Harry Wong. This paper is going to cover the thoughts and theories of Harry Wong on classroom management.

Student discipline is one of the most important aspects of the classroom. I believe that structure and classroom management are two components that contribute to this greatly. Teachers in the beginning of the year must implement rules and routines that all Students are expected to follow. It would also be beneficial if the students took part in creating these rules. Within the first weeks of school, the teacher and students should be practicing these procedures so that students can get comfortable with the routine and know what is expected of them. If the students are aware of the rules of the classroom then there will be no surprises when the consequence is given for breaking them.

I believe that I am proficient in establishing a classroom setting that calls upon the students to learn in an individual and collaborative manner. I believe that I have sufficiently encouraged positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self motivation. I have shown this in learning activities that have been presented to the students. An example of this would be with the placard assignment, which had the students fill out a sheet that corresponded to four maps to help them figure out what artifacts certain cultural regions would use. During this learning segment, students would have to be self directed after the directions were given, the students would have to use collaborative skills, and they were all engaged during

In the twenty first century, teachers have to collaborate with other professionals to promote student learning and establish a learning environment where students interact positively and share their knowledge. There are many different activities that teachers have to implement in the classroom so students can maximize their learning. In order for students to learn and achieve their goals in the classroom, teachers have to implement effective strategies and meaningful activities that motivate students to work collaboratively with other students. Communication skills are necessary for collaboration in the classroom and listening techniques must be modeled by the teacher implementing effective questioning strategies (Friend & Bursuck, 2009). In

What do you think your students’ goals and concerns will be at the beginning of the year? How can your classroom management plan accommodate them?

Education opens the door for endless opportunities. Children begin learning long before they enter the classroom. The school years are used to continuously expand their learning and educate them to be a functioning member of society. I believe every child has the right to receive quality education through quality instruction. Teachers hold one of the most powerful roles in society. Teachers spend more time shaping children each day than many parents do. Therefore, it is vital for teachers to set high expectations, model these expectations, and do everything in their power to help students achieve these expectations. As an educator, I make a commitment to my students on the first day of every school

My philosophy for teaching is that all students deserve the best possible education a teacher can provide them, and that education begins with classroom management. Classroom management is the foundation to a proper education. The way a teacher manages his or her classroom determines how the classroom will function and how much information the students are able to learn throughout the school day and school year. Students need rules to follow in order to keep the classroom running smoothly. Without rules, students will be unruly and will cause disruptions that will prohibit their fellow classmates from being able to focus and comprehend the material being taught.

After meeting my teacher and seeing the overall design of the classroom I have found some positives and negatives of the design. In order to have an effective classroom management plan, you need to consider the five processes of classroom management, organizing the physical design, establishing rules and routines, developing relationships, implementing engaging instruction and addressing discipline. The first step, organizing the physical design is one of the most essential step towards and effective classroom. When considering the design of the classroom you should consider the children’s security and shelter, social contact, and task instrumentality. I strongly believe a child must feel comfortable in order to want to learn. If you student

In this style of parenting, children are given arbitrary rules and expected to give unquestioning obedience. Failure to follow instructions will result in severe or unnecessary punishment. Authoritarian parents tend to fail to explain the reasons for the rules, causing the child to see the rules as useless and meaningless to them. For example, the parent might reply to a child’s request with “No, because I said so.” Little to no respect is given to the child choices or opinions. These parents have extremely high standards, but are not emotionally connected with their child. The parents can be very demanding,

The way that parents raise their children and react to different situations can significantly affect a child’s development. Parents can be classified into three different areas regarding their parenting style: authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. Authoritarian parents (parent-centered) are those who are classified as strict parents that are demanding and expect their children to follow their rules strictly. They also value obedience and believe that their child should follow their rules without any question (Berns, 2016). In contrast, authoritative parents (democratic) have high expectations, but are supportive/flexible and try to direct their children’s behavior in a give-or-take way (Berns, 2016). Permissive parents (child-centered),

First of all, authoritarian parenting style is best known as the strict parenting style. Parents are extremely strict on their rules and regulations. They do not allow their children to do anything that is not approved and notified by the parents. Authoritarian parents rely more disciplining their children to keep them well-behaved and good manners. They encourage their adolescent to be independent while maintaining limits and controls on their actions (Kopko). These parents expect their children to

According to Burden, “classroom management involves teacher actions to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.” The key words here are known as the “teacher’s actions,” which seem to create that environment. When it comes to the first area of responsibly, a teacher must “select a philosophical model of classroom management and discipline. As a teacher, I would like to use the popular actions of active engagement and lots of cooperative learning. I don’t like the act of worksheets, after worksheets, after worksheets. People remember best through experiences and interactions. For example, there was a time in middle school where I had to memorize the

In education there are plenty of learning theories and research studies designed to create a

From the research, it is evident that to ensure that the children have the best possible learning experience that the interactions must be more balanced, giving the students more control within the conversations. To ensure that the interactions within my lessons become more balanced, I need to ensure that group and class discussion is included within my planning. This, according to Wasserman (2010) will promote talk and will allow the children the opportunity to discuss their ideas. I also need to ensure that within my planning, the activities support promote group work and
