Classroom Management Plan
In anticipation of my classroom management plan the
executives, there are three areas are essential to ensure effective
classroom management that reinforces positive behaviors. These
include a clear understanding of what is expected from each
student in order to achieve desired behavior goals. I will also
discuss how this can be achieved by using appropriate
classroom management strategies and procedures. Also, a clear
understanding of the expectations for the student in order to
achieve desired behavior and how they can be implemented.
· Classroom Organization and Environment
· Classroom Rules and Guidelines
· Classroom Positive Reinforcement (Behavior Interventions)
and Rewards that promote positive behavior.
· Classroom discipline and discipline plans
· Classroom monitoring and control
· School-wide policies that support discipline.
Professionalism
Professionalism as a teacher is an important component of
effective classroom management. It is essential to develop a
sense of professional competence, which is necessary to
effectively manage student learning. Teachers must have the
ability to recognize and respond appropriately when students
are behaving in ways that may not reflect their own values or
beliefs. They must be able to identify and address problems that
arise from inappropriate behavior. The following steps will help
you develop a strong foundation for your classroom
management plan and a clear path toward achieving these goals.
· Define what you want your classroom to look like and how it

2. should work
· Determine the goals and objectives of your classroom
· Create a clear vision for your school’s future and goals,
including the types of activities and resources that will support
them.
· Create a plan for you and how you will implement these goals
and strategies.
Children learn best when they are giving opportunities to
express themselves and make mistakes. This is why it is
important to me to have a classroom management plan that is
loving and supportive in a professional manner and that also
supports their learning process.
Student Engagement Strategies
In the classroom by engaging in activities that are meaningful,
challenging, and fun. The purpose of student engagement is to
encourage participation and develop self-efficacy. This helps
the student learn about their own learning styles, interests, and
abilities. It also helps them understand how to use their
strengths and weaknesses effectively in a variety of different
situations. When students are engaged with their peers, they
will be more likely to engage in cooperative behaviors with
others. They will be more likely to participate in group projects
that involve teamwork. The student will have a positive attitude
toward school and feel confident in their ability to succeed. A
key element of student engagement is having a sense of
belonging. Students who feel like they belong will be more
likely to stay in a school environment where they can contribute
to the success of their classmates. While teachers cannot
directly control the student's moods or interests, they’ll control
how lessons are designed. So, teachers should pay close
attention to how they intentionally include components that are
more likely to spice up student engagement and enhance the
authenticity of learning (Capatano, J. 2019). Students need to
feel comfortable with themselves and others while interacting
with peers. This means being open to new ideas and opinions,
allowing for peer feedback as a way to improve student

3. performance.
Different strategies to engage students in the classroom:
• Encourage the students to participate in activities such as
group projects or other activities that involve them.
• Encourage the students to take part in activities that involve
them learning.
• Encourage the students to use their own knowledge and skills
in order to develop a sense of self-worth
· Encourage students to use their own creativity and imagination
· Use student-centered strategies
· Use collaborative and peer support
These are so many strategies that can be used to motivate the
students in a variety of ways. The most effective way to do this
is by engaging students in activities that involve them. These
activities can include reading, writing assignments, and
discussion groups. Also, these activities can be used to
reinforce skills or knowledge and encourage students to think
critically about how they learn.
My Philosophy of Classroom Management
The elements of each model I will incorporate into my future
classroom management application are positive reinforcement,
rewarding and motivating behavior and positive attitude toward
learning. These elements are all important components of any
effective classroom management program, but the most
important element is that they are all interrelated. Also, these
models will help you understand how to use the strategies and
tools that are available in your classroom management
application to support your goals and objectives. This unit will
be used as an introduction to the concepts of positive
reinforcement, reward and punishment, and rewards for
behavior change. The reason for choosing these models in my
management plan for my classroom is because I want to make
sure that students know what they need to do when it comes
time for them to get involved with their learning. Also, to

4. endure that they have the right resources at their disposal. The
system I will incorporate into my future classroom management
application is the following: Student assessment, teacher
evaluation, student’s motivation, student engagement, and
student participation. I will incorporate these strategies into my
classroom management program so that I can help students learn
more effectively while still being able to meet the needs of each
student. Classrooms have existed “tossing” for more than one
decade, and as technology has grown over time, these channels
get dimmed between which teaching actions happen when
students home versus which learning activities take place in the
classroom. Learners watching pictures at home will participate
in class discussions, and simultaneously, teachers will get
digital material into their room in real-time to satisfy their
student's needs. The educator may also use strong analytics to
find trends in student understanding to make for class (Kurshan,
B., Apr. 2017). My classroom management framework fosters
learning and meets the needs of all my students by providing a
safe environment for them to learn and grow. My classroom
management framework supports me in developing an effective
learning environment for my students. It is based on the
principles of peer-to-peer communication, collaboration and
collaborative learning. It provides a platform for my students to
share their ideas and concerns and encourages them to be
creative and innovative. Lastly, it provides a place where they
can express themselves and develop their ideas as well as build
relationships with their peers and teacher. My classroom
management framework promotes self-motivation and creates
opportunities for positive social interaction by providing
opportunities for students to participate in group activities and
discussions. It can provide opportunities for students to learn
about different perspectives and the perspectives of others.
Classroom Procedures
Classroom procedures are used to ensure that all students have

5. the opportunity to participate in class discussions and group
discussions. These procedures are designed to help you manage
the classroom effectively in a safe and secure environment.
Some of the procedures you may want to consider includes:
· Using appropriate equipment and material
· Using appropriate classroom tools
· Making sure that all student understands what is being taught
by the teacher
· Proper assessment procedures
· Classroom rules and discipline practice
When it comes to my classroom management plan the three
procedures, I would key in mind are: establishing a clear,
consistent and effective classroom policy. These are important
because they will allow for the implementation of policies and
procedures that will ensure the safety of all students.
Procedure 1- Entering the classroom in the morning
· Arrive on time school begins at 8:10 am.
· When entering the classroom in the morning the class should
unpack as quickly and quietly as possible. This will help to
prevent any misunderstanding between the students and teacher
or any mishaps that may occur.
· All belonging must be put away in their designated areas until
the end of the day.
· Get organized and place any material (Homework, pencils,
books, etc.), and snack into the assigned areas.
· Sit in assigned seats and read a book until the class begins.
Procedure 2: Lesson Time
Lesson time is a crucial part of the lesson process. It is
important to have a clear understanding of what you need from
each lesson.
· Make sure every student is ready to start the lesson
· Provide the material that is needed for the lesson.
· Make sure every student is given their undivided attention to
the teacher’s instructions.

6. · Have a clear understanding of the lesson plan and its
objectives, including how it should be completed.
Procedure 3: Cleaning up classroom area
Cleaning up the classroom areas requires a thorough knowledge
of the school environment. It requires a thorough understanding
of the school’s policies and procedures. Having a clear
understanding of the rules help creates a clean, safe, and
presentable classroom environment.
· Students will establish where every garbage bin is located in
the classroom.
· The students will be able to identify where the material bins
are located in the class.
· Students will clean up after themselves on a daily basis.
· Every table will be assigned a table monitor that will return
everything in the designated areas.
Procedure 4: Using Computers/Technology
Using computers/technology in class is an essential part of any
educational institution. It is a great way to keep student
engaged and motivated. The use of computers and technology in
education can help improve students learning and increase
student achievement.
· Sign in and out sheets
· One student per computer
· Use for learning and fun activities that require class lessons
· Every student must have headphones to use the computers
· Please use assigned seating
· Computers are to be handled with respect they are not meant
to be used as a distraction
· Computers and other equipment must be treated with care and
place in their designated areas.
· Only use computers when given permission

7. · When the teacher tells you, your time is up please sign out and
wait for further instructions.
Procedure 5: Class dismissal
Class dismissal is created to ensure every student leaves the
class in a smooth and orderly fashion. Establish a great routine
for all the students to follow during class dismissal allows less
disruption and disorderly behavior to occur in the class.
· Make sure all the student's class material is put up in the right
spot.
· Call each table of students one by one to collect their
belonging to go home.
· Have the student return to the circle carpet after belonging
was collected to create a clean, and neat environment until their
parents come to sign them out of class.
Procedure to minimize distractions and maximize instructional
time
Procedures minimize distraction and maximize instructional
time by using appropriate strategies to reduce distractions and
maximize instructional time in the classroom by implementing
appropriate strategies that are effective, safe, and effective.
This can be done by setting up clear goals or objectives, setting
expectations and goals for each activity, and making sure that
every student knows what they need to do when they have
completed the activity. This is an important step in establishing
a positive learning environment for all students. Procedures
ensure that every student receives the same level of instruction
and support as their classmates. Discipline is a key component
of any school’s culture and policy, but it is especially important
if you want your students to learn how to behave with respect in
the classroom. Discipline is also a key component of successful
academic success, which includes both academic achievement
and personal growth. Maximize instructional time with your
students is essential to building a healthy learning environment
and a safe environment for learning. Also, it is a key component
of effective classroom management. If you are not careful your

8. students may be distracted by other activities or peer
distractions. Good ways to help them avoid these distractions by
using appropriate strategies like the following:
· Use a variety of tools to keep track of what they are doing
from the time class begins to the time they leave.
· Set clear expectations for each student
· Make sure that all students have access to resources and
materials that will help them learn effectively.
· Use technology to support learning.
· Encourage collaboration between teachers and students in the
classroom with appropriate use of technology.
Rules, Consequences, and Reward System
Classroom Rules:
When it comes to classroom rules and guidelines, the first thing
to do is find out what the rules are posted in the classroom. We
as educators are inspired by our own experiences in school. The
classroom rules and guidelines are very important because they
help us to understand how we should behave in class. We need
to know what the rules are and follow them effectively. We
have to make sure that all of our students have a good day.
Therefore, the rules should be posted in the class so that
everyone knows what to expect. If you want your students to
understand the rules, then you must teach it to them. Rules and
guidelines should be addressed from day one of class and posted
where everyone can see. Some examples of classrooms rules and
guidelines I would want my students to follow are:
· Be respectful to others at all times. Do not interrupt other's
work.
· Respect yourself, classmates, and teachers.
· Always come prepared with an open mind. Never give up on
your goals and dreams.
· Be consistent in your behavior. Keep discipline and do not let
anyone get in the way of you doing the thing that you think is
right.

9. · Be good listeners and listen attentively to others.
· Try to be on time for class and come ready to learn.
If these rules or just rules and guidelines are followed it will
help the classroom be more productive at all times.
The rules, consequences and reward system will help create a
safe and productive learning environment for the students in
kindergarten in a positive manner. This is because the system
will make. It easier for them to learn and understand what is
expected and what is not acceptable. They will also be able to
use the system more effectively when they are older. When it
comes to rules, consequences and rewards the system should be
used as a means of creating an environment where children can
learn and grow. This will allow them to develop their sense of
self-worth and confidence. This will enable them to become
independent learners who can take risk and achieve goals. The
system should also be used to encourage positive behaviors such
as respect, honesty and fairness. To have a productive learning
environment the teacher must first establish a clear goal and
reward the students for achieving that goal. The teacher must be
able to motivate his or her students by encouraging them to do
things that they would not do and by rewarding them with
rewards. If there is no reward hen it is unlikely that student will
continue to have negative behavior in class. As stated in this
article for undesirable behavior habits, Michael Brown’s ABCs
of behavior change offer the model to understand. ABC stands
for Antecedent, Behavior, Outcome. People do things because
the antecedent prompts this activity. They do it again because of
the weight of results: Reinforcing or punishing desired or
unwanted behavior (Bradt, G., Nov. 2017). This is a good
example of how to teach behavior. It also shows that there are
many ways to make changes in your classroom too.
As part of the rules, consequences, and reward system, the
teacher can demonstrate outcomes according to student’s
behavior. Students who understand these principles can have
positive outcomes in the form of rewards, and students who

10. break rules or fail to accept classroom guidelines must deal with
the consequences. Students in the classroom will be able to
know the consequences for their actions because the
enforcement of regulation can remain logical and inevitable in
the classroom to remind them of what they need to do. Students
can realize that the results they have are the direct results of the
choices they make during class. In this article “Changing
Behaviors by Changing the Classroom Environment” it stated
what effects does the classroom environment have on general
class behavior and education? Some teachers experience
disruptive behavior in their classrooms. How will they point and
effect problem areas in the classroom situation? By gathering
information on stud neat participation during education,
disruptive behavior, and teacher observations, teachers will
determine which personal aspects of their classroom need to be
improve. Changing the classroom environment will increase
academic participation and change disruptive behavior
(Guardino, C. A., & Fullerton, E., 2010). This is a very
important topic because it can affect student’s performance
during school hours, if there are disruptive behaviors in the
classroom. Then it can affect the learning process of the
students.
Classroom Consequence:
Consequences in the classroom are important for a student.
When someone violates the rules, they will have to face
consequences or lose their privileges to participate in the
classroom. These steps of consequences are very important
because they help the students to learn how to behave in the
classroom
· Loss of fun privileges
· Verbal warning
· Lunch detention
· Call home to guardian
· School suspension
Classroom Reward & Classroom Positive Reinforcement:
Classroom Positive Reinforcement (Behavior Interventions) and

11. Rewards is a very important part of the classroom environment.
Students need to feel like they have been treated fairly, and not
that their actions are just being respected. The teacher should
encourage them to behave in a manner that is respectful and
polite just as well as rewarding them for good behavior, grades,
and group efforts. Classroom positive reinforcement is an
important component of classroom discipline. Rewarding the
students will make them feel valued and rewarded for their
efforts. Some great ways to reward your students for good
behavior includes:
· Set up a reward point system to encourage positive behavior
more often
· Classroom leader for different areas in the classroom
· Line leaders
· Hall monitors
· Giving them a small prize or class appreciation day
· Verbal or written praises
· Give them extra free time to use the technology in class
· Hand out small toys, stickers, or sweet treats
· Allow extra free time to talk with their peers in class
· Maybe no homework Friday
· Pizza parties
Classroom Arrangement and Cooperative Learning:
Classroom Arrangement and cooperative learning are two of the
most important aspects of a student’s education. Classroom
arrangement is an essential component for students to learn how
to interact with each other, how they can work together and how
their own interests will be represented in the classroom.
Classroom arrangement is also a crucial part of the educational
process because it allows students to develop skills that will
help them succeed academically. Cooperative learning is an
essential component of any classroom. Cooperative learning is a
way of teaching and learning that encourages collaboration

12. among students. The goal of cooperative learning is to provide
opportunities for students to learn from one another and build
on each other’s strengths. Philosophers and psychologists in the
1930’s and decades. John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, and Morton
Dewey thought it was crucial that students create knowledge
and interpersonal skills that would be applied outside of the
classroom and in the democratic world. The concept depicted
students as dynamic recipients of knowledge by talking about
data and responses in groups, engaging in the learning in the
learning activity together rather than representing passive
receivers of knowledge (e.g., teacher talking, students
listening). Classroom arrangement students are responsible for
their own development and development through group
activities. They are encouraged to be active participants in the
learning process. A key component of effective classroom
arrangement is students having access to materials and
resources that support their learning. This means providing
opportunities for them to learn independently or collaboratively
with their peers. It also means encouraging them to participate
in the learning process.
Arrangement/Organization
· Students will learn how to organize themselves into groups
· Students should have an opportunity to participate in the
arrangement and organization of groups.
· Teachers should encourage students to participate in the
arrangement and organization of group activities
· Teachers should be able to provide constructive criticism
· Students should be able to use the appropriate tools and
techniques.
· Teacher should be able to help students develop a sense of self
by using their own skills, talents, and abilities.

1. Professionalism
Professionalism is the way a person presents themselves to
students, their families, co-workers, and administrators.
Professionalism with students is having a good relationship with
your students and having a bond with students so they feel safe
and protected while in your classroom. Being a teacher to
students you must set an example that is positive, and they are
able to see as a good role model. Being approachable so
students and their families feel comfortable talking with you
about any concerns they may have with schooling. Keeping a
line of communication open with students and their parents to
keep them updated on students progress. Being open to adapting
to students different learning styles, so each student is able to
experience a learning environment that they can flourish and
grow to their full potential. Positive relationships with peers,
especially those you are on a team with is important so each
team is able to build lessons and curriculums that are in each
students best interest. Always striving to continue to grow as a
teacher, and having integrity when carrying yourself outside of
school. Creating an image for yourself that peers can look to
when in a leadership positions. Continuing to grow as an
educator showing administrators that you are willing to keep up
to date on any new information pertaining to the well being of
student learning. Having the drive to always learn, continuing
education classes so your teaching style and lessons that are
what is best for your students
2. Student Engagement Strategies
Student engagement is one of the most essential parts of
teaching. For students to be engaged in a lesson they must be
actively learning. For them to actively learn they must be
engaged. The two go hand in hand, and a teacher will have to
one for the other to happen. To do this your lesson must catch

15. their interest and get them asking questions (curiosity), it will
make things easier if it is something that students enjoy doing.
Some strategies you can use are Create classroom jobs,
interactive learning centers, incorporate play into the daily
schedule. Creating classrooms jobs teaches students
responsibility and fosters leadership skills. Interactive learning
centers gives students the hands on learning so they can
experience what they are learning. Making a schedule with time
for students to play gives them a break from the days lessons so
they can give their brains a break. It also helps them with
learning social skills they need to interact with others and how
to react in situations. The teachers job is to show them positive
ways to interact with their peers. Kagan is a great strategy to
get students engaged all students benefit from a pair-think-share
approach, and students are more actively involved in the lesson.
3. My Philosophy of Classroom Management
My philosophy in a classroom is that students should be
involved in the making of the ground rules with set
consequences for each, and that there should only be 3-5
(Harmon, 2017). It is important to have respect for students but
also demand respect for you and any other adults who may visit
my classroom. I do believe that children are not naturally mean
or evil behavior is learned. Usually when a student is being
mean and nasty it is because they have either seen that behavior
or that is how they are treated at home. We will also have a
schedule that includes play, interactive learning centers, the
round robin, think-pair-shares, etc. I also really like the Kagan
engagement strategy and the Win-Win Discipline. These all play
a vital role in running a classroom smoothly. Incorporating set
consequences for behaviors are essential in my classroom
management, but these will be different each year and depend
on the students in the class that year. Some of the things I will
incorporate in my classroom from the Win-Win is the ABCD of
disruptive behavior, Aggression, Breaking rules, Confrontation
(power struggles), Disengagement. This is something that is
part of my philosophy as far as students behavior having a

16. reason behind them. Win-Win says that behavior is due to some
unmet need(s) and to stop the behavior we have to figure out
what that/those need(s) (Kagan, 2017). I do also believe that we
need to be empathetic in students needs. Every student is
different and dealing with the different behaviors is going to be
different as well. So there cannot be a specific consequence for
every action they take. It has to be on a case by case basis.
Understanding and showing the student that their feelings are
validated is important even after they have gotten in trouble for
something (Delesio, 2018).
My classroom framework will meet the needs of each student by
getting to know my students and what those needs are. I will
also be making sure that I have some play/free time built into
my daily schedule. Students need a break from learning just like
we get a 15 minute break and 30 minute lunch they need more
than a 20 minute recess to really be able to decompress and re-
focus in the classroom (Narvarez, 2014). Giving play/free time
in the day is going to also allow me to talk with my kiddos and
build those bonds that teaching effectively requires. Having
play/free time also promotes positive social interactions. It
allows students to interact with their peers more often so they
get to practice to social skills and learn from them. This can
also help foster self-motivation. For me to promote motivation I
need to know my students so I can create lessons and ways to
help students self-motivate. Having certain strategies that
promote the self-motivation is going to be crucial to my
classroom success as a whole. I can tell you I am going to use
all these different strategies, but the truth is I have to see what
is going to work for my students. I will have to get to know
each student individually every year and change my strategies
to meet their needs. I do know that certain procedures will be
used yearly. For example, transitioning to a different activity or
subject for curriculum I will use a warning tone so students
know they have 2 more minutes until they switch groups so they
know to start cleaning up when they hear it. Then when it is
time to transition using a different tone a long with verbal ques.

17. All in all I have all these ideas of how I want my classroom to
be and run. Having a string foundation is what is going to keep
me strong. Also keeping students thoroughly engaged is going
to be key to running a smooth classroom.
4. Classroom Procedures
Moring meetings and closing circles help create a sense of
community in the classroom. It gives students the sense of
belonging and helps each of them get to know each other, and
the teacher. Closing circle is a time of reflection on the
positives of the day. It allows teachers to point out the good
students did so the next day they come in and do not harbor bad
feelings or emotions that may hinder teaching or learning the
next day (Northeast Foundation for Children, 2012). Having
procedures in the classroom that students do on a daily basis
also creates structure so students know what to do and when.
Students also know that there are re-enforcements when they are
not doing what they are supposed to at the appropriate time.
When students know what they are supposed to be doing it
leaves little to now time for behaviors. Structure and routine
pave the way for a classroom to run smoothly so the teacher has
more time to spend on instruction (Cox, 2019).
5. Rules, Consequences, and Reward System
When making rules for a classroom they need to be specific and
clear. There should only be 3-5, and include consequences for
breaking those rules. If you make rules a long list is too hard to
remember. Including students in making the classroom rules
helps put them in words that they understand, and they are more
likely to follow them if they have a hand in creating them.
Generally, students first consequence will be a verbal reminder
of the rules. If behavior continues they will be referred to their
clip chart. Everyone starts the day on green which is the middle
of the clip chart. Clipping up is for good behavior, and there are
blue then purple at the highest. Rewarding students for good
behavior re-enforces that making good choices has good
consequences. Clipping down is yellow then red at the very
bottom. If a student reaches yellow, they get a note/email home,

18. and red is a call to parents with possible meeting for
interventions. Parent conference depends on the student and if
they are a pattern with the student or just a bad day. Giving
consequences for bad behavior makes students take
responsibility for their actions. When students receive rewards
for good behavior it motivates them to continue the good work,
and that helps the classroom run smoothly. Some students need
consequences to re-direct their behavior and remind them that
there are rules that have to be followed. If a classroom does not
have rules with rewards and consequences (especially younger
grades) the classroom will become chaotic. When the class is
chaotic students are not able to focus and their learning is not
effective at all. To reduce the negative behavior students must
know that there are consequences to any behavior. Bad behavior
gets bad consequences, good behavior is rewarded. Once
students get down the routine, and classroom rules are given
they know what is expected of them, and it motivates them to
stay on task (Dusenbury, 2012). Even giving stickers or stamps
for turned in homework is a great motivator for some students.
Which in turn contributes to a well-tuned classroom and
learning environment that students can focus and feel safe in.
