Classroom Management Plan
A well-organized classroom management plan will be effective in creating a positive classroom environment which can help to activate students’ motivations and facilitate students’ learning. This classroom management plan is designed for a Stage 4 class, Year 8-3 in Mackenzie Secondary College.
Philosophy
In my personal philosophy of classroom management plan, the considerations about their socio-emotional needs and support students’ learning are key elements in creating a learning environment. As a teacher, I will be responsible for creating a well-planned classroom environment. In the Social Justice Theory, students understand they could affect others have the awareness to help regulate their own behaviors in classrooms. However, it does not mean that students can do whatever they like in the classroom. According to Responsible Thinking Process Model (Ford, 2008) both students and teachers have rights of being safe in the learning environment. At this point, I will be a guide for students and prevent misbehavior. By keeping everything positive in my classroom, students can be actively engaged and learn more.
I will involve students in designing the classroom rules. As the rules are made, I will emphasis to ensure they are all clear about these rules. Based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (Alberto & Troutman, 2013) the antecedents and consequences can influence students’ inappropriate behaviours. According to previous experience, students know
I want to effectively manage a classroom while having a discipline plan in place. I will have a well-balanced classroom environment that nurtures learning. The purpose of classroom management is to hold students accountable for misbehavior without having to raise your voice, discipline, or lecture them. In my classroom, I want to encourage a positive attitude from each child. A classroom where the students feel respected and appreciated. It is important for me to make personal connections with my students. They need to know they are important to me. I will provide positive feedback and let students know that they are doing a good job. Students who are not motivated will not learn effectively. I wish to promote confidence and encouraging attitudes in a nurturing and exciting learning environment, I want the children to know I’m here for them. Creating a diverse, warm and cozy learning environment will help contribute to the children’s active engagement in the classroom. The teacher takes on a bigger role in engaging the children in the classroom environment by encouraging the children to learn by making learning appear fun and enjoyable. A good teacher knows how to capture the child’s full attention. The teacher should show enthusiasm for the student’s interests and help promote them to explore and
Classroom management is about creating good conditions for both academic and social learning in school. It involves developing and managing a safe and positive learning environment where students feel safe,
This model is centred around principles of rights, rules, respect responsibilities, and relationships. Rogers emphasises the need for teachers to establish a set of student led classroom rights, rules and responsibilities during the establishment period of the year (Killian, Ogden, Shipston, & Facas, 2017). These rights, responsibilities and rules entail the behaviours that are expected in the classroom and protect the student’s rights to; feel safe, be treated with respect and to learn. The rules are to be developed reasonably and provide freedom in the sense students are free to move around the boundaries. As the rules are decided and agreed upon by the students, this develops a sense of understanding and accountability for their own behaviour and learning (Edwards, & Watts, 2008). In order to ensure students are respectful to the rights of students, the teacher must also treat students with respect. The teacher must consider the dignity of the students and their rights in the classroom ensuring they avoid any behaviours they
A classroom is a very dynamic and spontaneous place. Every classroom is comprised of a diverse combination of individuals who all contribute to the unpredictable nature and uniqueness of the class. The reality that no two students are alike and no two classes are ever alike, contributes greatly to the difficulty of establishing a realistic and effective classroom management plan. It is important that teachers realize that a classroom is an unpredictable place and that it is much more reasonable to strive to manage their classroom as opposed to trying to control it. I see my role as a managing teacher as
Together, we can plan alternative actions, and also plan consequences to their actions. Discipline and management are key components to having a successful classroom and environment. Discipline should come from a desire to teach students self-control. The development of self-control allows a student to resist their impulses in order to achieve longer-term goals. A students’ long-term goal may vary from personal to educational. Self-control gives students’ the opportunity to reflect on their actions instead of respond to instant impulses. Classroom management is necessary to guide students toward healthy behaviors. Classroom management and discipline increases the time spent learning in the classroom and decrease situations in which students are tempted to exhibit negative behaviors. Effective classroom management helps ensure student success in self-control by eliminating many unnecessary
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.
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
Creating my future classroom for first graders I chose rules that were similar to the SMART classroom management. The rules that I will put in place will target only behavior issues, separating my expectations in the classroom separately. This will allow less confusion for young students, as well as keeping it clear and simple for students to understand the rules themselves. Rules for my class room will be listen and follow carefully the instructions of the day, raise your hand before you speak or leave your seat, shows respect to others, keep hand, feet, and objects to oneself. I want to motivate students to make good choices, for each consequence students break the will have to think about their bad choice they made and how they can do things differently to improve their behavior. Behavior continue I would have to talk to student privately advising them that bad choices are being made and if they continue this route the next level would be contacting parents for bad choices made during class time. Either by sending a note for parent to sign or by phone.
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.
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
Throughout time teachers can find that flow of establishing the appropriate dominance in the classroom, other than being the adult. One of the methods for establishing the dominance of the classroom is to have clear expectations for the preferred behavior in the classroom, the teacher needs to set in stone the rules and procedures, and by providing consequences for the disruptive student behavior. The class can establish the rules and procedures through, possibly, a class discussion and everyone, the students and teacher, can be on mutual circumstances. Besides the clarity of the rules and procedures, the teacher needs acknowledge the students’ behavior; having the ability to reinforce between the acceptable behavior and the negative behavior and by respectfully putting out the consequences for the unruly behavior.
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
The first role of a teacher is to set limits and rules for students to follow in order to insure that a safe and orderly learning environment is established. To do so, some basic and observable rules must be set in place which clearly outline what behaviors you expect of your students at all times throughout the day or class. Nevertheless, children should be offered a choice to behave appropriately and be made fully aware of the consequences of their actions. The establishment of a tenable behavior management plan can greatly enhance the chances that students will be provided with an environment for intellectual, social, and emotional
Classroom Management is imperative to a successful school year because it includes all of the practices and procedures that allow teachers to teach and students to learn. Without appropriate classroom management, even the best lesson plans will fail to succeed because it has such a huge impact on student achievement. Successful classroom management should begin the minute students walk into the classroom on the first day of school. Procedures and routines should be in place and followed through each day in order to create the best possible learning environment for each student. A good teacher will also take into consideration the needs and developmental levels of each individual student
The classroom is a platform where a child learns not only the academics but also how to behave
