Behavioral Management Plan
This ClassDojo is an online electronic classroom management communication system, it is used to assist teachers, record, and track students’ behavior in real time by adding and subtracting points. The students are recognized with points for the following participations: been on task, helping others, participation, persistence, teamwork and working hard. The program automatically assigns fun avatars for each student. This communication system can be access and monitored by the student’s parent. I look forward to using the ClassDojo in my next classroom. I can see how this would be a great tool along with tangible rewards can helps the classroom behavior to a minimum.
For a teacher to create and maintain an environment

Linguistic Needs: Saying the rules. Affective Needs: Modeling the rules.
Effectiveness of Strategy one has been proven to be effective with consistency. This strategy will be effective when students understand what is expected and it is constantly reinforced in a positive manner. When positive reinforcers are given it can have a constructive influence on student’s behaviors.
Strategy Two: Teaching classroom routine and procedures.
All classrooms should have structured routines and clear procedures with set expectations. Some examples of routines are what students do upon arrival to the classroom, getting down to work, completing an assignment, group work, keeping occupied after work is finished, transitioning from one assignment or subject area to the next, and at the end of the day preparing for departures. These routines and procedures should be taught and practice with modeling for the students to have a visual of what is expected of them. The routines and procedures should be visible for students to review on a daily basis. Cognitive Needs: learning the routine and procedure.

Creating a well managed classroom involves deliberate planning and thought. Like the study of science, each part of the classroom scheme builds upon others and the classroom becomes an intertwined community of interdependent parts. In science, there are underlying laws that structure all other scientific actions and reactions. Similarly, the underlying classroom philosophy provides the backbone for my classroom management plan.
How are the routines and the way they were taught to students consistent with WHO the students are? (Consider the demographics, assets, and developmental stages of the students.)
Throughout my observation of the classroom, I notice the classroom has routine schedule. The students come in take their coat off, go to the bathroom and wash their hands. Next, he students sit down at a table
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
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
Overall, I think that the students were successful in learning the strategy. Over the course of the week, I collected 3 graphic organizers that helped the students organize their understanding from the text by using the POSSE strategy. I also gave students 10 multiple
Prior to students entering the classroom, pencils will be sharpened and placed on desks, along with morning work and assignments. Breakfast will be placed on desks. Students may change their choice of milk if another student is willing to change their selection. Interactive journal pages will be glued in if journals are needed prior to the beginning of class.
Teachers will pick one strategy to implement in their lesson plan as well as their daily instruction. (15minutes)
Essential instructional practices that best support an effective learning environment for all students are well establish classroom routines and procedures. Classroom routines allow the teacher to utilize their time efficiently, which in turn makes cooperative learning groups possible. When I taught kindergarten, during the first week of school I had several discussions with my students about our classroom routines and procedures, and how important they are, and why they are necessary. As a result, students knew what was expected from them, and we were able to have smooth transitions throughout our day.
Kindergarten teachers and teachers of all grades have the job of creating a stable, efficient environment within their classrooms that is productive and comfortable for students to encourage their true academic potential In order to do so, one must create their own classroom management plan that enables them and their students to reach academic and professional goals during the school year. By developing a full classroom management plan, a teacher can strategize their year and create an efficient and effective classroom to promote the best learning possible. The purpose of the following paper is to present ones classroom management plan based on the theories of Harry and Rosemary Wong. The paper includes a personal philosophy of classroom
A teacher should teach, demonstrate, establish, and enforce classroom procedures and routines at the start of the year to manage the classroom behaviors. Rules and procedures support teaching and learning and provide students with clear expectations and well-defined norms. Teachers can create a respectful, supportive learning environment when they have an understanding of the diverse learning in the
Productive routines allow students to develop their own sense of organization and structure in their lives. I will have subjects color coded and organized throughout my classroom. After every lesson, I will have students get out their assignment notebooks and write homework assignments and important dates in it. This routine is a recap for students and reminds them what to take home, complete, or relay any information to their parents. Other effective routines would consist of how students signal to get attention, time allotted for quiet reading and reflection, when to go to the restroom or elsewhere, and how they line up when leaving the classroom. I also believe students get a little off track over the weekend, and I would set up a routine Monday morning to go over what we have learned and what is to be expected in the classroom for the week.
Developing an ideal classroom that is well-managed does not require any special power. It requires a simple skill called thought and heart. One of the key components of becoming a successful and ultimately great teacher is how you manage the classroom. Sports analysts say the most intelligent quarterbacks are the best game managers. Teachers play the quarterback role and Game Day, with the offense and defense out on the field, is the classroom of students.
The routine and procedures are not only posted but are taught during the first few weeks of school. Establishing clear classroom procedure sand routines are very necessary for ensuring that classroom activities run smoothly. They help save valuable classroom time and
As I spend more time in the classroom each week, I find myself realizing more and more about my personal feelings on classroom management. When I compare my opinions and feelings on classroom management, I see connections between my beliefs and those represented by all three of the behavioral theorists we have been studying; Lee Canter, Linda Albert, and Alfie Kohn. While each of these theorists have varying opinions on how to manage students, I feel that they all have important points that should be included in a successful classroom management plan.
