Classroom Management Plan

A. Theoretical Introduction

I believe in a progressive classroom where management and learning is student centered. My role as a teacher is to be a leader, not an authoritarian or dictator. A classroom environment needs to be supportive and must be able to meet a student’s basic needs in order for learning to take place. The foundation of a good management plan must be built on the following essential elements: positivity, consistency, and most important of all, respect. I believe in a management plan that avoids any form of punishment at all costs. Students work much harder for rewards than to avoid punishment. Instead, with student input, I plan to implement a system of logical consequences for when students break classroom rules. It is very important for students to contribute and have some control over their classroom environment because they want power and freedom. Students need to see a cause and effect relationship in order to understand the consequences of their actions. These consequences will be enforced in a fair and consistent manner throughout the year.

Students also need recognition. They take pride in their work, but without recognition they easily lose motivation. Part of my role as a teacher is to provide positive feedback and recognition for work and effort. Providing recognition gives students a sense of accomplishment, which helps to promote intrinsic motivation. Students are mostly motivated at this age by extrinsic forces. They do things for rewards or to avoid punishment. I believe in using rewards at certain times to motivate students, but in the long run students need to be intrinsically motivated so they will do things for themselves. Overuse of rewards wil...

...calm quiet tone Miss Allen states, “I don’t appreciate it when students pass notes when I am giving a presentation. It shows a lack of respect towards me, which is our number one class rule. This is the second time I have had to speak with you about this so I will have to deduct points from your participation grades. I don’t like doing this because you are such good students most of the time but that is the consequence we decided on as a class. Is there a reason why you were passing notes?” The students reply no and they apologize. “I accept your apology and please remember that if this happens again I’m going to have to call your parents (consequence for third violation), which I really don’t want to do.” The students promise it won’t happen again and Miss Allen excuses them to go to their next class. She moves back into her classroom to great her next class.

My Classroom Management Philosophy
586 Words | 2 Pages
My personal philosophy of classroom management focuses on creating an environment where children feel safe and where they feel like they belong. I will create this environment for my fourth grade class through making my expectations of the students clear while developing an engaging lesson plan and personable interactions with my students. I developed my philosophy from studying different theorists and based my philosophy on the theories of Glasser and Kounin. Glasser believed that the teacher’s roll in the classroom is that of a leader rather than a boss. He believed that students should be given power in the classroom and that the teacher should share it with the students. I will use his ‘7 caring habits’ specifically supporting and respecting to help my classroom feel safe and welcoming to my students. Meeting the individual needs of my students will be the focus of my classroom management routine. I will meet individual needs by promoting self management and self efficacy in my students by creating an environment that that has predictable and consistent daily routines while focusing on my student’s successes (Shindler, 2010). Having a predictable routine will encourage a success oriented environment and will reduce anxiety and help towards creating positive self efficacy in each of my students (Shindler, 2010). In Glasser’s Choice Theory he talks about focusing on the present and not bringing up the past (Glasser, 2010). Therefore, I will focus my classroom on being goal driven and will help each student obtain their goals. Thus, helping my students have positive self efficacy. I will apply Kounin’s technique of Momentum (Pressman, 2011). This involves the teacher keeping exercises short and moving around the room a lot so...

Classroom management starts, for me, with very clear expectations, and firmly established procedures. I begin the year (or semester) with a more formal, regulated tone, and have so far been able to end each year and semester with an atmosphere of relaxed mutual respect. I value students’ self-control over my being in control.

All effective educators need to find ways to motivate their students. The kids that fill our classrooms have different strengths and weaknesses. It is critical that teachers recognize the strengths and weaknesses of their students so they can use the right classroom management strategies to motivate their kids. In this particular case, the student named Jodie is inattentive and uninterested and neither the teacher intern or classroom teacher have a clue how to handle this situation. Ms. Marcia Thomas, who is the young intern feels that Jodie is just a problem child that lacks motivation and there is nothing she can do for this particular student. Ms. Thomas and the lead teacher Ms. Egan both lack the needed classroom management strategies that are necessary to motivate and engage students in a positive learning environment.

By definition; Classroom management: a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. Classroom management is a very big part of teaching, almost as big as the lesson itself. From my experiences most classes that have EBD and students with disabilities, you may have 5 students with special needs, 3 students that need to make up work, 3 disruptive students, 2 students with ADHD, 3 students who don’t have their books or home work, 6 students who decided not to bring a pencil and two who have no more notebook paper, and all of this is on the good days. Under these circumstances it is easy to see why a teacher wouldn’t be successful. An effective teachers best tool for situations like this is classroom management. While knowing your subject is the first step to being a good teacher, you wouldn’t be able pass the knowledge along to the students without effective discipline and classroom management.

This I Believe Philosophy statement will include my thoughts and beliefs about classroom management with comparison to other theorists’ models. The major theorists that will be mentioned are Barbara Coloroso, Linda Albert, and Lee & Marlene Canter. I highly agree with the Canter’s and Coloroso’s models of classroom management because it best fits my personality as an individual teacher. I believe that an affective classroom management plan is first practiced and then modeled for improvements. My ultimate goal for my Classroom Management Plan is to model self-discipline by teaching it through my daily actions so that students may be able to self-manage themselves accordingly.

Therefore is Mrs Susie using a program idea called Monster manners. This program consists out of the idea that a Monster has joined the class and does not know what appropriate behaviour is and therefore the children need to teach him the Monster manners. To bring the children closer to the Rules of the classroom my mentor introduced a story about a cute monster which was visiting their class and throws things, runs around creating chaos and nobody feels safe. This showed the pupils that nobody would feel safe and would have fun. Therefore the children had to tell the monster about the classroom and explained each other why they have rules and what the rules mean. This program is enforced through the Yellow and Red Card

I do not believe, however, in using rewards like stickers or stars, A’s or praise. To quote Alphie Kohn, "When rewards stop, people usually return to the way they acted before." I want my students to be intrinsically motivated and giving out rewards inhibits intrinsic motivation. I want my students to know it is okay to make mistakes and take risks in the classroom. I want to encourage my students by telling them specific feedback on an assignment rather than a star and a "good job." I don’t want them to become dependent on my praise. I want them to be successful learners.
