Final Project

EDUC 304

Final Project Instructions

Your classroom management plan shares your intention for how you will run your classroom. It will reflect your teaching and discipline styles, and most parents and schools will want to know this about you.

In this module/week’s project, you will prepare a classroom management plan for a specific classroom. If you are currently teaching, you should prepare the plan for your own classroom. If you are not currently teaching, you should build your project around your vision of your ideal classroom. It is not necessary to observe someone else’s classroom for this assignment.

As this course is designed for the K-12 classroom, this assignment is also designed and assessed for the K-12 classroom. To earn full credit, your paper must employ specific and quality discourse.

In your project the following dispositions should be demonstrated throughout your paper in any of its sections:

· Social Responsibility: love, joy, peace, goodness
