    Classroom Management Philosophy

    Instruction in the classroom

    The best method of teaching is student-centered. Students are engaged, motivated,

    and interested to learn. To achieve this, it is important to create lessons that keep the

    students responsible for their learning, and foster curiosity of the world in which they live.

    The instruction I provide will not only allow the students to practice academic skills, but

    also social skills. The material will be introduced, explained, then demonstrated by myself

    and the students, and then there will be student practice.

    The students will engage in a lot of class discussions about the topics they learn

    about and explore. This will allow students to be exposed to different perspectives and

    practice communication with their peers. For example, this can occur in reading with the

    same or different books, like participating in a book club, in math when working on a math

    problem, or in science or social studies when students to work in groups to complete an

    experiment or research an event, and then discuss what they learned.

    Movement will also be incorporated into student learning. I like being able to have

    the kids get up and out of their seats, and explore while moving and feeling like they are

    exploring. For example, I created a lesson in which I outlined continents with duct tape on

    the floor, and had small groups “fly” to the continent I described. For students, this was so

    much more valuable than having them do another worksheet.

    The instruction found in my classroom will be important, interesting, and adjusted

    based on the feedback I receive from my students.

    Goals of classroom management

    The goals of my classroom management plan is to ensure student safety and

    learning. Within the plan are procedures for students to be responsible for following in

    order to maintain a classroom that reflects a successful learning community. The

    procedures I plan to implement in my classroom will be introduced, demonstrated, and

    practiced during the first week of school. There will be procedures for entering the

    classroom in the morning, getting ready to learn in the morning, transitioning between

    subjects and activities, cleaning up, checking homework, turning in assignments, doing

    group work, participating in discussions, packing up, and more. The students will be

    responsible to following the procedures that I will have introduced, but they will have

    explained and committed to.

    My main goal of the classroom management plan i design is to have a productive

    learning environment. I have done practicums in many classrooms where the teacher

    spends more time dealing with disruptions and explaining a direction than actually

    teaching. I would like a smooth, functioning classroom where the students are safely able to

    participate in active learning and function as a community.

    Students will be held to high expectation and will be accountable for following the

    procedures. The classroom functionality will be heavily reliant on the students to make

    sure everyone is following direction, checking homework, cleaning up the room, and being

    a good citizen. Every student will have a key role in making sure the classroom community

    is successful and safe.

    Beliefs about students and teachers

    Students and teachers are dependent on one another to create an effective

    classroom. The teacher assumes the role of a guide, protector, facilitator, leader, role

    model, parent, teacher, and human Google. Depending on the students, there are many

    roles the teacher is seen as. Students assume the role as friends, citizens, learners, children,

    and explorers.

    Within the classroom, students and teachers both receive feedback through

    formative and summative assessment. Students are given responsibilities and are held

    accountable for their responsibilities. The teacher will be walking around and available for

    help and feedback during student practice. The student will be responsible for asking

    questions to help the teacher know what needs to be retaught and explained in a different

    way.

    Teachers facilitate learning and come up with ways to make sure each students is

    able to learn the material and exercise their right to learn. Teachers are there not only to

    teach, but to foster a professional relationship with the students. Most students need

    someone to care and to support them, therefore, a teacher is so much more than just an

    authoritative figure. Many students come to school from a home without support and

    academic guidance. It is up to the teacher to get to know the students and be able to

    support and facilitate learning.

    Conclusion

    Overall, the classroom management plan I have described will be student-centered

    and based on student roles and feedback. All students will be held to high expectations, and

    I will do everything I can to make sure I create a community of learners and friends. All

    students will be taught and required to respect one another and be open-minded. The

    students will understand their crucial role in learning and helping me, as the teacher, guide

    them in their own exploration.
