Classroom Management Plan ※ Theoretical Introduction Philosophy of Classroom Management 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. School should be a community that is warm, respectful, and open. Students spend approximately 30 hours a week in the classroom and it is imperative they are able to …show more content…
I have learned it is important to hold myself to high standards and I hope my students will return the favor. Responsibility, respect, honor, and equality are four specific qualities I value and I anticipate my students will see me display these traits and model after them. I want nothing more and expect nothing less than to see young minds grow and mature into exceptional individuals who succeed in and out of the classroom. Assumptions of Young People and Learning There are certain qualities that make secondary students more challenging to guide than primary students. It is unfair to say they do not enjoy learning, but they need to see a connection of the knowledge they acquire in the classroom is relevant to their own lives. If a student does not feel he or she has received any satisfaction in the classroom, the risk of them rebelling increases. The adolescent years are the formative years for people, and what occurs during this period will have a lasting effect. If students feel disconnected or unsatisfied with knowledge, their learning will undoubtedly be compromised. They constantly need to be encouraged and guided through daily activities and interaction. It is essential that young people foster healthy interactions with teachers who they are able to depend on and who can assist in their growth.

The key to orienting their attention in the classroom is to make learning meaningful and relevant to their lives. At the same time, learning can be hindered if a student’s basic needs are not being satisfied. If students are in a position that they feel endangers their ability to fulfill their basic needs, it is likely that their learning will be compromised. During the adolescent years, the process of building self efficacy is accelerated. Therefore, it is essential that young people foster relationships with dependable mentors who can guide them and support them in their development.
Each day school children learn valuable skills and lessons from their teachers as well as through interactions with their peers. Although school, undoubtedly,
I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career. Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself. Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher. It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be evolving as necessary as I gain more experience and insight into the field of teaching. Also, my classroom management plan may need to be altered to fit my specific group of students.
My philosophy of classroom management is that the management of elementary classrooms require several things. Among patience, determination and motivation are: flexibility, careful planning and consistency. A well-managed classroom did not get well-managed without a teacher who planned, had a flexible vision and was determined. Any new teacher, who is asked, will say they want a classroom with as few behavioral problems as possible as well as one that is easily manageable. But any experienced teacher, who is asked, will tell those new teachers that classrooms do not come "well managed". They have to be made into well-managed classrooms. These experienced teachers would also encourage by saying
Managing your classroom determines how effective you are as a teacher. In this training, it talks about many different ways you can create structure in the classroom. One of the ways was setting rules. Another was to set individual and whole group goals in classroom and commit to completing each goal. It is very important to have complete control over your classroom it promotes maturity, safety, trust and easy flow.
With my character, I have guided it to be filled with respect, responsibility, trust, fairness, and caring attributes. I respect my teachers by not wasting their time with chatting and turning in late work.
The classroom management plan created in EDEL 441, details specific classroom management components that will create an organized, orderly learning environment in the classroom. While studying Fred Jones’ book, Tools for Teaching in EDFO 483, I learned how imperative it is for a teacher to have a plan for classroom management. When the classroom is organized and students know the teacher’s expectations and procedures, the teacher has more time to teach and students’ success increases because of this factor. Fred Jones repeatedly stresses the crucial point of creating a classroom climate that promotes a safe and secure environment where all students can learn. An effective teacher can create the appropriate environment by building a cohesive
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
Childhood and adolescence are times of crucial growth in developing their sense of self and learning about the world. If the average American teenager spends about 7 hours in a classroom environment per day, then teachers are in a prime position to impact their students. As a teacher, I can ensure that my students receive the encouragement, compassion, and respect that is so important in becoming an able and confident member of society. Not every student receives academic support at home. Therefore, my classroom should also offer resources, classroom assistance, and a positive learning environment. I should invest time and effort into my students. I can help them realize their own potential and
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
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

There are many things that a teacher must think about when creating their classroom management plan. One of these things involves the legal and ethical implications as they relate to the rights and responsibilities of students, parents, and teachers. I have reviewed several articles related to this subject, and will give a brief overview of each of them as well as tell how they will make a difference in the way that I manage my own classroom. Most of the articles, that I chose, pertain to the lack of parental involvement in their children’s lives which leads to problems that teachers must deal with. These articles pertain to the social and economic situations that are causing a lot of the problems
There is nothing more frustrating than a room where you can’t find anything and are unsure of your boundaries. Classroom management begins even before the students enter the classroom on the first day. In order to establish the proper work environment students should have an assignment waiting on their desks as soon as they enter the room. In my case this will be some sort of a tell me about yourself and what you think about science activity. In addition teachers should greet their students at the door with directions for seating and instruction to alleviate some of the confusion that usually plagues classrooms on the first day. It doesn’t matter if teachers
I believe that the children in our classrooms are the future to our nations success. Each student will bring a different skill and talent to the classroom, and as a teacher it is my goal to help each student to succeed to their maximum potential. Students shall learn and adapt to essentialism. Students will graduate knowing all the required material and more to ensure a promising future. Parents should support each student to the best of there ability. The community’s roll is to support academic and extracurricular activities inside and outside of school. It is a teacher’s responsibility that no student should be left behind. Teachers should keep up to every standard, learn and adapt to students and continuously put as much effort to
