    Classroom management is a top priority for future teachers. Effective classroom management is necessary for student learning and allows teachers to focus on other teaching duties like lesson planning, teaching, and grading. Future teachers must recognize this and create a structured classroom environment that encourages learning through consistent rules and discipline, engaging daily lessons, building relationships with students, and minimizing distractions. The goal is to direct the classroom with activities rather than authority and help students stay motivated to learn in the classroom.

    Classroom Management

    ! As future teachers, considering classroom management is a top priority. The task of managing a classroom deserves thorough consideration. At the beginning of the school year we may be tempted to pay more attention to other teaching aspects such as creating lesson plans, teaching and tutoring students, or assigning grades. All of these duties, however, would not be possible without effective implementation classroom management. If we, as future teachers, fail to recognize this necessary element of education, we may actually end up hindering student learning. ! Its no secret that teachers have a difcult job on their hands. A lot is expected out of todays teachers; there is probably nothing more difcult than juggling the task of taming a group of wild students and attempting to teach them the required curriculum. Some students may want to resist learning because of past experiences in school. Teachers cant force students to learn, but there are many practical classroom management steps that can help put students in the best possible position to learn. Essentially, as a future math or special education teacher, my goal will be to create a classroom environment that encourages and facilitates learning. ! First and foremost, I will not tolerate constant disruption or misbehavior. I will create about 5 general classroom rules. The consequences for breaking the rules would be made clear. In making these I will take into account that rewards and punishments have a huge effect on student behavior. I will be consistent in the way I handle discipline, being fair in the way I handle every situation and allowing students the chance to personally explain their situation to me. Students will know what is expected of them when they walk into my classroom and will have to choose whether they will abide by these expectations. ! I want my daily classroom schedule to be structured to ensure that my classroom stays on task. One key step will be starting every day with a problem on the white board (commonly referred to as a bell ringer). This activity would allow students to be actively mentally engaged immediately. This will then allow me to start teaching without having to talk over my students conversations. I will strive to treat my students with the utmost respect by coming prepared to class, just like I expect them to be. My lesson plan will be both structured and exible to allow for accommodations as students needs become evident. My lesson plan will be structured in a way that is consistent with how a students brain acquires information. I will start with concrete examples and then work to more abstract concepts and applications. I dont want to do my students a disservice by expecting them to be at a higher abstraction level than they really are. I must use scaffolding to help students stay in their Zone of Proximal Development; if they do not, they are more likely to get frustrated, lose motivation, and get off task, which in turn disrupts other students who are trying to learn. This underscores why it is so important that teachers stimulate student thinking instead of just telling the students to take all information at face value. Ultimately, learning will take place in the classroom, not on the homework. Classroom time will be spent on relevant material, and will be focused on actively engaging the students in learning.

    ! After establishing structure and control, I want to have positive relationships with my students. I dont want to be strictly an authoritarian gure; however, at the same time, I want my students to understand I am their teacher, not their friend. There has to be a ne balance in this area. My students must understand that I am the More Knowledgeable Peer in the classroom. This title can often times be abused by teachers, so I must make sure that I am directing my classroom in activities rather than abusing my power. Being a teacher that is approachable can go a long way in creating mutual trust. I will do this by asking critical thinking questions and walking around. I wont embarrass my students when they say wrong answers and in so doing this, hopefully some of my students will respect and trust me. Respect in the classroom should take the form of listening to the teachers instructions and allowing the teacher to be in charge. I have seen in some classrooms, whether or not the teacher realizes it, the students have the control. ! Finally, the way my classroom will be set up physically will be very intentional. I will try to diminish distractions as much as possible. My math manipulatives will be stored on the side of the classroom to ensure they wont be a distraction to anyone. Classroom management is one of the most important roles that teachers have. If a teacher cant manage a classroom, how can they expect their students to learn anything in their class? Therefore, as future teachers, we should strive to keep our classroom managed in every area to ensure student learning.
