The goal of a Management Plan is to ensure student productivity in a classroom by creating a positive learning environment along with supporting and fostering a safe classroom community amongst teachers, students and parents. It is essential to the class’s daily functions. For many students, Kindergarten is the first steps into an educational setting. Students in Kindergarten rang from five years of age to six years of age. The first experiences need to be friendly, open and inviting to all the wonders of the classroom not only through the teacher’s personality but in the classroom setting. The classroom is set up with a verity of centers to engage students to want to learn through exploring. Students in the Kindergarten class would greatly …show more content…
Students must be able to be active in their want of education. It is essential that students are able to interact with peers and teachers in order to completely understand daily learning. Students also need to be motivated on what they are learning. This role is also part of the teacher’s role as well.
Teacher Role
The role of teachers is to expand and support student learning. Teachers must offer guidelines to best commentate each and every student needs. Such as having prepared centers, lesson plans, and strategies that fit common core standards of independent and peer interactions. The teacher must also be motivated, positive and friendly in teaching to motivate students to learn (Stanton-Chapman T. Promoting Positive Peer Interactions in the Preschool Classroom).
Implementation Plan
The implementation Plan begins in the morning by addressing rules and expectations needed to have a successful school year. This would be at circle time as the students walk into the classroom and hang up coats ex…Circle time Gives students an opportunity to express how they feel, what is expected of the day, what I expect of my students and how to proceed. Next I will explain, though I do not punish students, there are consequences for their actions.

Having a well thought-out comprehensive behavior management plan, and well- designed lesson plans, which addresses the various learning styles of the students in the class and gets all the students engaged in the learning activity.
Kindergarten is a time of exploration and adventure in which an individual begins their educational journey. This first year sets the stage for the academic success and social status of a student for years to come, and a blunder during this time can be detrimental to an individual, especially in regards to the social aspect. If deemed an outcast during this time, especially by a student who has been assigned to the upper caste, it is likely that they will be unable to move up in their system; however, it can be done.
I believe every student is entitled to a safe learning environment where they can reach their full potential academically and behaviorally. Students will reach their full potential in a positive learning environment. The positive learning environment will be established from the beginning of the year providing a lasting impact on the students academic, and behavior performance throughout the entire year. The positive learning environment will be a classroom setting, which allows students to feel welcomed, safe, and important on daily basis allowing learning to occur to its fullest potential. To ensure my students are in a positive learning environment there must be a behavior management plan clearly explaining the expectations I have for my students. Throughout my behavior management plan I will explain how I plan to implement expectations so students act accordingly. My behavior management plan will be individually tailored to my students allowing me to push them to their fullest potential to by taking into consideration each student’s behavior and personal needs.
The authors claimed that ineffective classroom management results from lack of focus and attention, especially for new or preservice teachers. Furthermore, the article states that when classroom management is addressed, it is often viewed as a means to control student behavior. In order to combat the stress that comes with classroom management, the authors provided a list of five activities and assessments teachers can employ as a means of preparation.
Children should be socially and emotionally ready to be able to make the social adjustment in the classroom environment. Preschool teachers should focus more on children’s social skills than rather pressured into teaching academics, but that may not be considered best practice. In fact, children who have been rejected by their peers in kindergarten shows poor school performance. Children who lack social and emotional skills are being kicked out of kindergarten. As a result, they are not receiving the information that is being taught. Factors that influence children’s transition to kindergarten are children’s home environment and the preschool program they attend between preschool and kindergarten (Deyll-Gingold, 2007). Here are some kindergarten expectations students should know before they enter
Furthermore, to ensure academic success, an effective teacher has a plan of action in place to run an effective, efficient classroom. The classroom management plan is outline in the long-range science plan. In order for students to be successful, classroom management has to be a top priority for effective teachers. This plan allows for students’ success as the teacher directs the class to the end of the year goals that is laid out in depth in the long-range science
Classroom management has the largest effect on student achievement, so students cannot learn in poorly managed classroom. Additionally, research has pointed out that the quality of teacher-student relationships is the main aspect of classroom management.(…2). Furthermore, when teachers set classroom management plan, the plan will give structure to everything from seating to lessons to grading to the relationship between students. Teachers should incorporate strategies for addressing student behavior into classroom
As an early childhood educator my job is not to simple play with children. I must plan, provide and supervise all while “playing” with my students. The classroom serves as the physical environment for the children for most of their waking hours. These classrooms need to be attractive and function effectively. Concerns for any early childhood educator should always include space, equipment and materials used, outdoor space and the daily schedule to ensure that all students are provided ample opportunities to learn and grow within a safe and secure environment.
The class I visited is comprised of 24 five and six year old children, a lead teacher and a ‘Para-Pro” who assists the teacher and provides support and guidance for the children. Within the classroom itself, there are 6 tables organized in the center of the room in a grid formation. Children have their own workspace at a shared table. Around the perimeter of the room are ‘centers’ where each day, the children work on tasks such as listening, story development, gross and fine motor skills, math, reading and other important skills that are needed to develop socially and academically. In several places on the walls, there are displays or ‘brag boards’ where children can post their work that they feel best represents their efforts. The walls are brightly decorated and are filled with pictures, letters, numbers and other basic elementary school information. It is energizing and interesting without being chaotic or overstimulating.
The role and responsibilities of a teacher is very complex. Teachers are responsible for making sure their learners acquire the knowledge they need, but also achieve their qualification by the end of the course in a safe learning environment, so they have the skills and experience they need to start their careers. To achieve that goal a teacher must be creative, professional, flexible and knowledgeable enough to deal with daily challenges and find different ways to help their learners needs. Establishing a safe and stimulating environment for learners, creating mutual respect and set goals that stretch and challenge learners of all backgrounds and abilities.
I think all students yearn to learn. We as future teachers need to motivate students with learning, exploring, investigating, discovering and inquiring. Together you will be learning and teaching.
Teaching in the 21st Century has come about due to the realisation that the current education system has fallen behind the modern world, become outdated and ineffectual. We are over a decade into a Century which has brought forth an information age with limitless resources and instant access to information. Collaboration has turned global, with people all over the world communicating, sharing ideas and solving common issues through and with technology. The issue has become more so how to teach rather than what. Education in the 21st Century calls for personalising learning so that every learner, regardless of learning style, race, culture, creed or gender, may develop to their full potential and promote “life-long learning” (Collins, 2009, p. 104) for both teacher and learner alike. It also brings to light the importance of redefining the roles of both teacher and learner.
Classroom management is the foundation of education at all levels. Optimal teaching and learning require an environment conducive to learning through structure, support, organization and guidelines. Classroom layout, routines and procedures as well as a carefully thought out discipline system are the core elements of my classroom management strategies. Lesson planning is also vitally important to ensuring engaged, motivated and on-task students, but even the most imaginative lesson plans can be ineffective in an unmanaged classroom. In my opinion, younger learners need more support and structure than the older students do, especially in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom where communication between the teacher and the students can be very
Classroom management is a necessary component to every classroom. It includes creating a set of rules and clear expectations that all students follow. This helps unify the classroom for both the teacher and students allowing for a smooth, effective, and educational environment. When the students are aware of what is expected, they are motivated in order to attain the goals dispensed by the teacher. Some students are naturally motivated and want nothing more than to surpass goals for the sake of triumph and pleasing the teacher. Other students need extrinsic motivation in order for them to become engaged in
