Personal Classroom Management Plan

My Philosophy of Classroom Management

Write a 2-3 paragraph description of the culture you will promote in your classroom. Include broad expectations of the teacher and the students. Include a minimum of TWO citations here strengthening your argument. Think about reasons why you believe CM is important. How will your classroom run if you do not establish yourself from day one?

Classroom Procedures

Write a paragraph introducing the five classroom procedures you plan to implement. I need to hear WHY these five are important in your management plan. Justify them…don’t just list them. Keep these in a numbered set up instead of a paragraph. Write the procedure, and then give me a sentence or two explaining why it’s important.

Rules, Consequences, and Reward System

Include a rationale for your system. I want to know WHY you’ve chosen your rules, consequences, and the reward system. Just stick to ONE reward system. Include citations for all idea you borrowed from other authors. Why did you choose these ideas? Explain in detail how these rules, consequences and rewards fit your overall plan.

Rules: (keep it around 4 or 5 of them)

Consequences: (Make it a first, second, third-strike type system. Much easier for kids to understand. Don’t have different consequences for each rule. A rule is a rule. Break it, and we move up the ladder to first consequence. Don’t have to have four if it doesn’t work for you)

Reward System:

Need to see at least a paragraph or two here explaining your system. If you are using one from an existing model (Jones, Wong, Canter, etc) cite it. If it’s one you’ve seen used in another classroom, that’s fine. Just explain how the reward system works, and most importantly how it ties into your rule and consequences. They MUST all match.

Communication with Parents/Guardians

Identify at least three ways you will communicate with parents and include a rationale for each. Provide at least one sentence after each explaining how this idea will help you with your classroom management plan.

Student Engagement Strategies

Summarize three ways to keep your students engaged. Don’t need to worry about including a drawing of your classroom arrangement (I think in the video I said you needed to, but ignore if I did), but I DO want you to explain your classroom arrangement and why that’s an important component in your engagement strategy. I need to see at least one of these three strategies relate directly to your classroom arrangement. Feel free to include the drawing it if helps you explain it better. I don’t want to just see a list of three games or activities you plan to use. I’d like to see the WHY behind the strategy. Why will this help engage your students? The WHY is always more important that the HOW. Look at the rubric for specific details here. Please use citations as needed. You can delete this whole paragraph and just use the number list below.

3.

Professionalism

Summarize ten ways of being professional with students, parents, co-workers, and administrators. Provide at least one sentences explaining why this idea is important and applies to being a professional in the classroom. I’ve seen too many students in the past get really generic here. Be as specific as possible. Professionalism can have a huge impact on your success or failure in the classroom.
