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.
