Part 1

Physical Environment & Classroom Organization


Desks

Student desks will be set up in groups of 4-5. Each group of 4-5 students will
have an island name. There will be a great deal of group work, active
engagement and collaboration in our classroom. This being said, having
the desks set up this way will allow them to work among others, ask for
help (if needed), or work independently at designated times. Each island
will have a colorful plastic shelf next to their group island. Each plastic shelf
will have extra supplies that students can utilize at any time. I will supply
the following items: crayons, markers, sharpened pencils, erasers, scissors,
scrap paper, and a place for each students tale-home folder to go. If at
any time, I se that students need different supplies fairly often, I will have a
donation box that students can donate items to anytime throughout the
year. This box will be hidden and no student will have access to this box
without my permission.
Learning Centers
I will have various learning centers throughout my classroom. Reading will
be essential, so I will have a specific area for any independent or partner
reading. Students can use this area when they are doing their daily 5
activities, reading in a small group, or during free reading time. In addition
to this area, I will have a table set up in the front of the room for guided
reading activities. This table will have cushion seats that students will utilize
during small group work or one-on-one meetings with me. During certain
times of the day, this same area will be utilized for student writing time.
Another learning center that I will have is a computer center. Students will
go this area when they want to use a laptop, listen to reading, or
occasionally play educational games. If there are several students who
need a laptop, or iPad, we can rent out a school technology cart. The
last center I will have will be an art center. The arts will in fact be
incorporated into my classroom, so this area will have different art
mediums students can use for independent and group projects, for any
crafts we do as a class, or if they just want to use the minimum free time
they have to create a piece of art. In this area, we student artwork and
projects will also be displayed. In the beginning of the year, I will have
students create a collage, painting, drawing, or poem all about them.
These will then be posted in this area so we can respect and recognize
our differences and similarities. In addition to these centers, I will have
places in the room where students will be able to find supplies, books, and
other things that they need for each subject. (Example: the math area will
have fake money, times table and division books, math games, various
challenges, etc. The science area will have fake animals, skeletons, brains,
hearts, books, etc. The social studies area will have maps, timelines,
president names, books, and more!).

Small group work area(s)


In the back of the room, there will be circular group desks to work in small
groups (or if they need extra help) and individual desks for students will
also be set up if students want to work on their own during small group
time.
Audio-Visual or instructional equipment
I will have an overhead/Elmo set up in front of the classroom so students
will always have a visual representation of an assignment. This will be used
as an aid when students are completing group work and individual work. I
will provide differentiated copies for students who may need additional
time or resources.
Operational Procedures
Record Keeping
I plan to have a very well organized classroom in everything from
arrangement to record keeping and student assessments. I will follow any
procedures that are assigned according to my district, in the way that
they expect me to. I will additionally keep records in a record-keeping
notebook, as well as on a excel document. I will be organized in dividing
these records by organizing them by subject and alphabetically by the
childs name. These will be easily accessible and easy to read for any
teacher who wanted to check in to students records.
Student Files/Folders
Next to the teacher desk, I will have a tall file cabinet. Each cabinet will
have a folder for each student in alphabetical order. These cabinets will
be assigned according to subject. For example: top cabinet will be for
reading, second cabinet will be for math, third cabinet for science, fourth
cabinet for social studies, and last cabinet for miscellaneous work,
behavior charts, etc. In each folder I will keep a record of that students
work. I will not save all work; however, I will save any work that I believe is
important and can assist me in monitoring student progress throughout
the year. I will also include student goals, a progress sheet, assessments,
running records, and a section for teacher and student notes,
Teacher Files/Folders
I will also have a file/folder of my own that will be well organized and
beneficial on a daily basis. In this folder, I will include student attendance

sheets, school calendars, weekly schedules, special assemblies and other


scheduled events, a student grade book, my lesson plans for that week,
additional notes and a basic planner with important dates to remember.
Students will not be able to access this binder, and it will be more my eyes
only.
New students
If a new student is added to my room at a later point in the semester, I will
allow my advanced students to be their mentor until they become
acquainted with the class procedures, style, etc. I also will help the
student with anything they need, of course.
Classroom order
Later, I will explain the classroom jobs that each student will have, and
one of the jobs will be a desk cleaner. I will have cleaning supplies in a
cabinet near my desk. The student will go around at the end of the day
and spray cleaner on the desk and wipe them down with a rag. Students
will not be allowed to write on their desks, and if I discover that they have,
there will be a consequence depending on the content written.

Part 2
Disciplinary Policies and Professional Ethics
On day one, I will point out the classroom rules/expectations/reminders to
my students. These reminders will be posted in the front of the room
underneath our main dry erase board. The posters will be in colorful fonts
and referred back to at necessary times. These reminders are quite simple,
and illustrate basic expected classroom behavior. I will not label these
rules, but they will be simple recaps that remind the students how they
are expected to act in our classroom on a daily basis.

The reminders will read


Reminder 1: Listen when someone is talking.


Reminder 2: Follow directions the first time they are given.
Reminder 3: Treat everyone with kindness and respect.
Reminder 4: Take care of our school and our classroom.
Reminder 5: Work, play, be safe, and always learn.
Consequences for breaking rules
If a student does not abide in a classroom rule, they will be referred to the
posted rules. I will tell them to think about what they did wrong, and what
when they were ready to tell me how they could correct their behavior. If
a childs behavior is consistently dishonoring our classroom rules, they will
be sent to a desk located in the back of the room to fill out a behavior
sheet. On this sheet, student will write what they did wrong, why they did
what they did, and how they will improve this behavior. Depending on
how the students heavier improves or worsens throughout the day, they
may be asked to take this behavior reflection home and get a
parent/guardian signature. I will have a behavior display board with 7
different levels. Each day, students will start at the read to learn level
regardless of what they had done prior that week. A first warning will
move them down a level, here they will have to fill out a STOP behavior
sheet. If they continue to misbehave, they will again move down another
level the teacher will make a consequence choice based on their
conduct. The next level involves parent contacting (either a note or an
immediate call). Students have the opportunity to move up a level at
anytime. If their behavior genuinely improves throughout the day, I will
most definitely move them up and congratulate them on their progress for
that given day.

Positive Classroom Encouragement


I will have quotes, or sentences posted around that room that will also
remind the students how they should be acting in a given situation. I want
to encourage students to be problem solvers as individuals, and in groups.
Love and respect will be crucial in my classroom. Students will be well
aware of the expectation to only say positive things in our classroom.
Students will always be respectful, strive to encourage one another, and
as a class I will anticipate that we will all act as a family.

When a student seems down or is having a bad day, I will give them the
opportunity to cool off, or improve their attitude by sending them to the
encouragement board. I will have an encouragement bulletin board set
up in my classroom with free positive thoughts, encouraging quotes,
stress balls, fans, and other necessary or requested equipment. This will not
be a place where students can go to goof off or get out of doing work.
Students will enter this area if we have a break, or at a time that is not
disrupting their learning.
If a student is being disrespectful to another student or teacher they will
be given options to apologize to the person they may have affected
emotionally. Students will be given the option to: write apology letters, say
three nice things about the other person (not including compliments
about the way they look, but instead their character and/or the person
they are), or have a small conference with the other individual
apologizing and building up the person they may have hurt. (This will be
during a time such as: lunch, recess, pack-up time, art, gym, etc.).
Playground Misbehavior
If there is an issue on the playground, student privileges will be taken
away. Student will miss out on the next recess (during that day of another
day during the week), and will fill out the behavior sheet provided earlier.
If there is a specific conflict or argument between two individuals on the
playground, they will be told (and eventually expected) to go the
conflict resolution part of the classroom. I will have beanbags near the

reading area that students can also utilize to go and solve conflict
between other classmates.
Student inattentiveness/lack of motivation
If a student seems to have a day off inattentiveness or lack of motivation, I
will do my best to change this attitude. I will first pull the student aside and
have a one-on-one discussion with them. I will ask them what I can do to
help them or motivate them. I want my students to know that I am there
for them to talk about anything going on. I hope to provide a classroom
that motivates students to learn all the time, each and every day.
However, there will most definitely be days we have this type of situation.
Students can grab a word of encouragement from the back bulletin
board, they can chose to sit in a bean bag as long as they are still paying
attention. I want to keep this pretty open, because each student needs
something different, and all students are motivated differently. The best
way to deal with this is to talk to them, give them encouragement, and
ask them what exactly they need/want.
Tardiness
Each student will be given a magnet with his or her designated class
number on it. Each time the student enters the classroom in the morning,
he/she will move their magnet to the in class spot. . For example, we will
have three columns. In addition to the picture below, I will ask students to
move their numbers out of the chart at the end of the day. At the end of
each day before packing up, students will put there magnet in this place.
When they return in the morning (each day), they will move their magnet
to the in class spot. As soon as the bell rings, I will check the board and
see whose name is missing. This will indicate whether or not the student is
present that day. At the bell I will write down the students numbers in a
notebook that are located in the In class position, if they come late
(after the bell), I will have their name written down without embarrassing
them in front of the class. For the first tardy, students will be given a
warning. On the second tardy, they will be held back for lunch or recess
for the amount of time of class they missed (starting from after the bell).

10

Not getting work done


If a student chooses not to get work done during the class period, they will
have time taken away from their recess, lunch, or time added
before/after school. This will not be acceptable in my classroom. I will not
let students get away with not completing their work and assignments. All
assignments I assign will be purposeful, and intentional for students to
grow in their learning. I will not have busy work or any unnecessary work
for students to complete. Therefore, the work I assign will be work that I
strongly encourage them to finish thoroughly in class. As far as homework
is concernedI plan to send practice problems home and optional
exercises that I recommend them to do; however, it is the students
parents choice whether or not they complete it. If the homework I assign is
not done, I will not take away points, but if I am giving the student extra
time to complete, practice, or get help with these problems then I will
expect them to have homework completed. This will be a good option for
me to differentiate work and allow parents to know what we are doing in
our classroom. If I have a struggling student who I strongly believe needs
to be doing extra work at home, I will require a parent signature. I will not
give out homework solely for points, but instead as a learning tool that
can hopefully assist students in depending their learning and knowledge.
Missing work/tardy passes
If students are demonstrating excellent behavior, they may receive a pass
that they can use for practice problems, tardiness, etc. Each student can
only get a max of 4 total passes each semester. There is really never an
excuse for being tardy, and if there is, I will expect my students to arrive
with a pass from another teacher, or a parent. I will hold students
accountable for missing work, and will assure that they turn it in close, if
not on the due date. There will be an exception for some students if their
circumstances prohibit them from completing work. I will be flexible in
extending due dates on given occasions, but it will not be regularly
tolerated if a student consistently turns in work late.
Cheating
Cheating will not be tolerated in my classroom. Many of my assignments,
assessments, and projects will be group and partner based, so I expect
collaborative learning and fairness among students. Disrespect will not be
tolerated in my classroom, and cheating is a form of stealing from another
person. If this occurs, student will fill out a behavior sheet, redo any work
that they copied, have a meeting with the teacher, and may or may not
receive a phone call to their parents/guardians regarding their dishonesty
and disrespect in this area. I hope that students feel comfortable enough
in my classroom to ask for help when needed, from both their peers and

11

myself. I want to have a collaborative learning environment, and


therefore students should never feel the need to take someone else work
and make it their own.
Parent/guardian and principal involvement
Parent involvement will happen whenever necessary. I want to stay in
contact with each of my students parents from the beginning so if there is
an instance where I need to make a phone call home, the first
conversation I have with their parents will not be a negative one. I do not
think it is necessary to call parents during school hours; however, I will send
home notes asking the parent to call me if they want more information
regarding the issue. I plan to have a solid relationship with each of my
students parents. They will receive regular updates on various happenings
in the class, including their student behavior and etiquette in the
classroom. I hope that I will be able to manage my classroom enough to
never have to send students to the office. If an issue becomes extremely
disruptive to the classroom and I have already done all that I can do to
manage and alter this behavior, student will be sent to a buddy room
(assuming beforehand I have made these arrangements with another
same grade level teacher) prior to sending them to the principal. I plan to
be up to date with principal on all that is going on in my classroom, so if in
fact I am continuously having issues with a particular child, my principal
may be warned if I plan to send him/her to the principals office.
Professionalism
A very important part of being a teacher is your conduct and
professionalism inside and outside of school. There are constantly people
watching you including other co-workers, parents, and community
members. A teacher should be mindful of their responsibility to be a
positive role model. Respect and communication is key in this job,
therefore I will strive to always respect others in my words, actions, and
thoughts. There will never be a time when I partake in gossip, especially
about students or co-workers. If I hear other staff talking bad about
students or co-workers, I will ask them to mind their own business and to
save the gossip for another time and another place. I will strive to remain
positive even when there are times where it may seem justifiable to speak
poorly about someone or something. This being said, I think it is important
to share your view and opinion with those you associate yourself with at
work; however, this should be done in a honorable and respectable way.
No one should ever be put down for what they believe, so I will remain
open-minded and always seek to see the best in others. If there is a
situation where I disagree with the leadership strategies of a colleague, I
will properly assess my intentions and decide if it is appropriate to bring up

12

with a colleague. If I decide to do so, I will make sure that I remain


respectful, gentle, and loving in the way that I confront the situation. I will
offer my ideas and/or views, but will never be demanding or
condescending in my speech.
I will always act appropriately for work and remind myself that I am an
example and representation for my school. I will model professionalism in
my attire and do all that I can to set a positive and expert example. Even
outside of school, I will conduct myself with paramount professionalism.
My appropriate and commendable conduct will gain the respect of my
students, parents, and co-workers

Part 3
Classroom Routines & Procedures
First day
On the first day of class, I will clearly lay out all of my expectations. I will
show students all of the reminders in my room, and explain all my postings
around the room. I will start my routine on the very first day. We will have a
bell problem, discussion, and class as we would on the very last day. I will
tell students about myself, and let them ask me any questions that they
may have. I will also provide students with a copy of a collage I made
including some information about my family, my life, and myself in
general. I will also give them a letter for heir parents clearly laying out my
expectations for the school year. This letter will also include my classroom
rules, procedures, and contact information.

Student sharing
At the beginning of the school year, each student will receive a school
supplies list. On this list, they will be required to purchase their own supplies
such as, pens, markers, pencils, erasers, scissors, etc. Students will keep
their own supplies in their assigned boxes located next to their group
desks. In addition to the supplies students buy for themselves, I will provide
several art mediums, scissors, extra paper, Kleenex, and more in my
classroom. Each small group (desk island) of students will have a box of
tools and supplies that they can use at anytime needed. Students will
always be able to share the supplies located in their group box. However,
they will not be allowed to share their own supplies with anyone in the
class. This will eliminate a great deal of conflict regarding sharing supplies.
I want all of my students to be willing to share, but they will not be
mandated to share anything from their own box of supplies.

13

Room Helpers
Each student will have an assigned job in the classroom. I will have a
picture of each student and put their picture with their corresponding job
for the week. As shown below, my classroom job sheet will have a pocket
for each job. I will rotate the student pictures daily so everyone can
experience all the jobs. If throughout the school year I decide that a job
needs to be added or taken away, I can easily create new pockets.
The classroom jobs will be
-Assisting the teacher: This student will play the role of my helper. If I need
little tasks done, I will ask them to assist. For example, if I had to use the
restroom after recess, I would ask them to make sure all students were
seated and doing work upon my arrival.
-Technology: This student will be in charge of grabbing iPads on days we
use them in class. They will also be in charge of making sure all computers
are logged off following their use.
-The tables: This student will be in charge of cleaning off the tables at the
end of activities. All scraps should be thrown out, student folders and work
put them in the designated student work bin , and supplies must be
orderly.
-Organizing papers: This student will help me organize student papers and
pass papers out.
-The lights: This student will be in charge of turning of the lights when we
leave the classroom, watch a video clip, or if I am trying to get the
attention of my students.
-Leading the line: This student will lead the line whenever we leave the
classroom. They ought to set a great example to their peers, not goof off,
and get places quickly.
-Recycling: This student will take the recycling to a designated classroom
in the school every Friday. They will also encourage their fellow students to
recycle paper and whatever else they can.
-The schedule: This student will read the daily schedule out loud to the
class. They also may remind students to be on task during certain
scheduled activities.
-School library books: This student will collect all library books that need to
be returned. They will give their peers reminders about certain due dates
and library visits.
-The lunches: This student will make sure that all students have moved their
clothespin to their lunch selection for the day. I will have a small board
with three parts to it: hot lunch, cold lunch, and leaving for lunch. Students
will move their pin to their pick every morning and the student with this job
will make sure all students have moved their pin for the day.

14

-The classroom library: This student will keep the classroom library area
cleanly. They will organize books, pick up crumbs or scraps, and put away
pillows and beanbags every day before lunch and after school.
-The mailboxes: Each student will have their own take-home mail box. All
of their finished and graded work will be put in this mailbox for them to
take home. Parent notes will also go here. This student will place work,
notes, etc. into these mailboxes whenever needed.
-The lockers/cubby area: This student will make sure this area is clean at
the end of the day.
-Cleaning counters/desks: This student will go around and spray all the
desks and counters at the end of the day.
-The calendar: this student will write the date on the board, and change
our calendar to the correct day every morning.
-The pencils: This student will make sure each table island box has
sharpened pencils and enough erasers.
-Absent students job: This student will collect any absent work and
assemble it with paperclips and add work to the students mailbox.
-The recess materials: This student will carry all recess materials outside and
make sure all are put back in the basket after recess.
-The windows: This student will open/close windows and blinds when
needed.

15

Use of free time


There will not be too much free time in my class, because I plan to always
have students participating in class activities, independent activities, or
partner activities. I want to have a constant learning environment, and
plan accordingly to how much time I have in a given day. If there is a day
when we are extremely efficient, and get everything done that we need
to, I will allow students to participate in silent reading, writing, or drawing. I
want all the time they spend in the classroom to be useful and productive,
so I will not allow them to slack off and play educational games. I will
provide writing journals that they can write in about their favorite movies,
books, characters, and more.
Field trips
I will plan engaging, learning field trips throughout the year. Every field trip
will be a wonderful learning experience for the children. We will always
discuss as a class and reflect and what we learned and how it related to
what we are currently learning or have learned in the past. During field
trips, students will have a partner that they are required to stay with and
keep track of at all times. Students will not be allowed to wander off, play
around, or misbehave during fieldtrips, or they will be required to be
partners with a teacher or volunteer parent. On the bus ride, or walk to
our field trip places, students will be expected to act mature, respectful
and kind. If they do not act in a worthy manner, privileges will most
definitely be taken away. Students will receive a letter for their parents
regarding all the necessary information about the field trip. In order for the
student to go to the field trip, they will need to have a permission slip read
over and signed by their parent of guardian.
I will bring all necessary equipment for our field trip. I will have a first-aid kit,
a backpack, wagon fro lunches, extra socks, gloves, wipes, etc. I will be a
proactive planner and plan activities, worksheets, and discussions
according to the context of the field trip.
Doing homework
All the homework I give will be practice work. I will grade students based
off of correct answers. Students will always have the ability to go back
and change or make corrections on any homework assignments to regain
their points. It is not my intention to find ways to take away points from
students, and I always want to see improvement so I will be more than
willing to add on points once I see that they understand the concepts or
are putting forth effort.
Handing in papers

16

Students will turn all their work into labeled bins. I will have a bin for each
subject in a convenient place. Students will be aware of the handing in
papers procedure and will have no excuse for undone or lost work. If work
is late, students will be expected to turn it into my desk in the late bin.
Passing out paper/announcements
There will be a student who is assigned this task. However, if I want to
quickly pass out paper and move things very quickly, I will do it on my
own. I will hand out parent letters once a week updating parents on what
we are doing, assignments and field trips coming up, and more. Students
will also receive a menu for that weeks hot lunch. If a student is
misbehaving and I have to send home a parent letters, I will assure that
they receive that letter and return in upon arrival on the following day.
Dismissal for recess/lunch/going to specials
Students will always be dismissed to line up in an orderly fashion. Each
student will learn the way they will be dismissed early on. This will then
become a routine and they will know how to act properly when we are
getting ready to leave for events. If we have a lot of time, I will give
students a math problem to solve, alluding to how they will line up. If
students are sitting at desks, I will dismiss by desk depending on which
table is the most quiet. At times, I may dismiss student by partners, or
individually. For lunch, I may choose to dismiss students according to their
lunch pick. If there are students being disrespectful or not abiding in rules
that day, they will be the last to line up. Once all students are lined up,
standing straight, facing forward, we will precede to leave the classroom.
Bathroom Procedures
If a student has to use the restroom, they will get up, without disrupting the
class, grab their number from the board and walk up to me silently
showing me their number. (This will indicate that they have to use the
restroom). I will give them simple thumbs up, giving them permission to
leave for the bathroom. Students will then place their number magnet
under the restroom spot on this diagram. (As seen above)

17

Getting a drink
I will highly encourage all students to bring a water bottle to school daily.
At the beginning of the day, and after lunch, students will be given the
opportunity to fill their water bottles up and keep them at their desks
throughout the day. I want to strive to not waste anytime during the class
period, so allowing students to constantly take a trip to the water fountain
would take away effective classroom and instruction time.
Differentiation Policy
I believe that it is extremely important to notice the different needs
among students. It will be my job as the teacher to give each student
what he or she needs. I will do all that I can to give each student of mine
a positive, challenging and beneficial education. I want to strive for the
success of each student, and encourage him or her to put forth his or her
utmost effort to succeed in my learning environment. I plan to continually
assess where my students are at, and know them on a deep level so that I
can provide the student whatever they may need to perform to their
greatest ability.
Challenged Learner:
These students will be given all they need in order to assist them in
their struggles. Not only will I give students what I think they need,
but I will also ask for their input and ask for them to give me ways in
which they believe they will learn more effectively. I will differentiate
my assignments and provide them with work that caters to their
needs. If a student is a visual learner, I will create an assignment that
will allow them to use their strengths to understand the concepts
that other students may be learning in more of an abstract way. I

18

will give students opportunities to stay during recess, lunch, before


of after school if they have questions for me that they did not find
time to ask me during the school day. When students are working
independently, I will give additional directions to those who may
have not understood my initial instructions. I will collaborate with
other teachers and find out what has worked successfully in the
past for students, and what has not. These students will also be
given several concrete representations/examples and scaffolding
to further their understanding of complex concepts.
Gifted Students:
I will provide students with several opportunities to further their
learning. I will allow them to work independently or among other
students who may be at the same level as them. If students want
extensions or extra, more challenging work I will give that to them as
well. It will be crucial that I know these students on a deep level so I
can give them what they need academically, socially, and
emotionally. Students will always have choices, so that they can
choose what will be most beneficial using their given gifts and
talents. I will group these students in ways that will assist them most.
Some students may benefit most form working with like-ability
students, while others may prefer to help students who are of lower
ability.
Parents
I plan to keep in consistent contact with my students parents. As I said
earlier on, I want to maintain a solid relationship with each of my students
parents throughout the school year. I will start off the school year getting
the parents acquainted with my classroom expectations, procedures, and
myself as a person. I will encourage them to email me, write me letters, set
appointments whenever they have questions. I want them to know that I
am there to support their student in all ways that I can.
I will make sure that I provide a very welcoming environment during open
houseone that is reflecting on how my class will always look. I will
demonstrate excitement and eagerness to get to know the parents of my
students. I want them to feel comfortable approaching me with any
concerns, questions, or just to chat about their childs performance in my
classroom.
I will send home weekly updates on a regular basis. Parents will never be
unaware of what we are doing that week in our classroom. I will
encourage parent involvement in the classroom and look for

19

opportunities for them to assist me with field trips, planning, or other


events.
Parent-teacher conferences will be very helpful for the parents. I will
provide them with all of their childs work and a progress chart
demonstrating their childs progress throughout the year. I will keep work
that will assist me in informing parents of their childs talents, abilities, and
struggles. Students will have the option to attend parent/teacher
conferences and provide any information I may accidentally miss. I want
our relationship to be healthy and I hope that I can make a lasting impact
on both the student and the parents. It is my desire that the parents and I
work collaboratively to ensure all students are having the best time in the
classroomone that is extremely beneficial and constructive, and most
importantly, one that will make an eternal impression on the students
lives.
I am very excited to implement this classroom management plan in the
future. Creating this plan has allowed me to think about the several
aspects of managing a class. There will most definitely be challenges, and
I am sure that a lot of what I plan will fail, but I will surely learn from
mistakes that I make and grow into a better, more effective teacher.
