Classroom

Management
Plan
My Philosophy
I believe all students are one caring adult
away from being a success story. Many of
our students don't have someone in their
corner who is rooting for them. Sometimes
we have to be there person. Showing our
students we purely care if they succeed will
help them to start believing in themselves.
As well I strongly believe in allowing our
students a voice in the classroom. I believe
in having a Democratic classroom. Allowing
the students some governance in the
classroom helps them find their voice. As
they will be a part of society one day, it is
our job to set them up for success in
respectfully using their voice.

Knowing where to turn in
work properly
My Ideal
Classroom Layout
01 Having my desk at the front of the
classroom facing the students. So if I do
need to be on my computer I am able
to see my students as well they are
able to see me.

02 Having my students sit at desks in pairs,

or groups of four. So they are able to
collaborate and work together more
efficiently.

03 Having anchor charts, classroom rules

and expectations hanging around the
room on the walls. As well as a wall to
display student work so they are able
to personalize the classroom with their
work as well.
Building Relationships
The most important part of classroom management is building
relationships. When your students feel safe, and that they can trust
you they will move mountains when asked to. Treating students like
they matter, and their voice is heard can help them build
meaningful relationships. Allowing them to express themselves,
have their bad days when they are sad or upset without judgement
will make them feel safe. Relate to your students. Find common
interest, learn about the things they like, and show you care about
them.
Discipline
Interventions.
I believe that punishing students for every mistake
they might make is unproductive to their education
and their growth. Being able to set clear
boundaries and have clear expectations for
students will eliminate the need for discipline too
often. Model the behavior you expect from your
students, treat them how you expect them to treat
you. When something gets too out of hand I believe
in quietly pulling the student aside for a
conversation and discussing their behavior with
them. As well asking the questions "What do you
think we should do in this situation?" Give them
autonomy over their discipline (if it is not too
serious) allowing them to take responsibility for their
actions. As well I do not believe in humiliating
students in front of the whole classroom, that can be
very detrimental to you relationship with them. Talk
with students calmly and explain to them what went
wrong can go a long way.
