Classroom Management Plan

Ms. Olson
My Philosophy
Each student in the classroom is an individual with specific needs. As an educator I must provide an atmosphere
in my own classroom where each student has the capability to reach his or her maximum, socially,
academically, physically, and emotionally. Every decision I make in my classroom should be made based on
who my students are and what they need to be successful.
Why Classroom Management?
Effective classroom management is the key to an effective educational setting. By creating an environment
where students feel as though they are part of a community and in a safe place, I am creating a foundation to a
classroom management plan. I am committed to creating a classroom where I know my students can actively
engage in their learning and are challenged to learn something new everyday. Without classroom management
students are unable to learn.
