Classroom management is essential to maintaining an effective learning environment. Teachers should strive to provide a consistent and fair environment that encourages student progress, and to set expectations for how students should perform daily tasks and procedures. Effective classroom management takes planning, consistency, and determination, but if a teacher’s management plan is implemented properly, the classroom will be a place in which all students, despite their different learning abilities and levels, can flourish.
Classroom Management Plan
The classroom learning environment plays a major role in students’ academic and social success and creating an effective environment begins with a carefully designed classroom management plan that is implemented before school begins. Below is my classroom management plan.
Classroom Rules
In my classroom, I plan to have 5 rules that are written in a positive way and are easy to understand. Here is a poster I designed to display my classroom rules:
Behavior Chart
I intend to implement a behavior chart system in my classroom to track and manage behavior. The behavior chart will have four levels: Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. Every student will start the day on green and will move down on the chart if they fail to follow directions or rules. At the end of each day, I will record the color each student ended the day on in their planners for their parents to see. A note will be written home to parents when a student ends the day on red.
