This classroom management plan outlines the teacher's philosophy of creating a respectful learning environment for students. It establishes three guiding principles of being safe, respectful, and responsible. The teacher believes in creating a social contract with students where they agree upon classroom rules and consequences based on these principles. Consequences are meant to benefit individual students by preserving dignity, increasing responsibility, and motivation rather than simply punishing misbehavior. The plan details specific classroom strategies and procedures like using entry routines and seat signals to maximize learning time.

Classroom Management Plan
Introduction and Phiolosophy I believe that all students have a right to be
able to learn in an environment that is friendly and is made for learning. This means that the classroom should be filled with respect for everyone one in it, including the students from the teacher. I think a good classroom management plan takes into account not only the classroom rules and procedures, but also physical structure of the classroom and behavior issues that may arise. Guiding Principles: Our school has three guiding principles in order for school to be an effective place for all learners. The students and teachers should abide by these three values; be safe, be respectful, and be responsible. Classroom rules: In order to follow the school values provided above, we need to also establish more concrete rules in the classroom to help us achieve this. I believe in the idea of creating a social contract with the students. The social contract is an agreement between the teachers and students about the rules and consequences in the classroom. It gives both parties the chance to input on how the classroom behavior will be treated. In order to do this, I allow the students to think of their own rules and consequences for behavior based on the school values and my class values as well. My class values are to follow school principles, be a team player, and never give up. Once the students and I have agreed on rules and consequences for the class, they will have a comprehension quiz to make sure they understand what was decided upon. Students must complete the quiz with 100% accuracy. Consequences and Interventions: One thing that students always have trouble with are consequences. Many have the notion that consequences are always bad or serve as punishments. I would like to encourage students to understand that consequences are more than that, and that they are the results of our behavior, whether it is good or bad. When a student breaks a rule or demonstrates unacceptable behavior, it is my job to help that student understand what they are doing and to help them prevent the behavior again. In order to do this, a sequenced list of consequences may not be in the best interest of the student. Each student should be dealt with as an individual; no two students will have the same consequence. Fair does not always mean equal (Curwin and Mendler, 2008). For students to understand this, I will be very clear with the class that I will use consequences that best
benefits each student. These are a few examples of consequences;
detention, time out, loss of privilege, note or phone call home, and conference with teacher. Other consequences will be listed in the social contract. These will not come in any particular order but students will have a choice to choose from. Consequences should and will preserve dignity, seek to increase responsibility, and increase student motivation (Curwin and Mendler, 2008). I will preserve the dignity of the student by not calling them out in front of the class, embarrassing them in front of peers, or discussing personal issues with non essential personnel. One way to increase responsibility through consequences is to give students a choice. This allows them to learn from their actions and have self awareness of responsibility. Students learn best from their own mistakes. Student motivation can be achieved with the understanding of the student that the consequences are put in place to help them become better. Classroom Strategies, Techniques, and Procedures: I will use certain strategies and procedures in my classroom to help the day flow and prevent behavioral issues. I will use the Lemov technique, Threshold, and stand at the door as students come to my class. Another technique that will be used is Entry Routine. This routine consists of, making sure they have all materials, writing down assignments in their agenda, and starting with the warm up for the day. Seat Signals, will also be used in my classroom to eliminate certain request that may take away from the learning going on in the classroom. We will have signals for being excused from class(bathroom and blowing nose), sharpening pencils, and asking a non related question.
