ROUGH DRAFT

My Personal Classroom Management Plan

Running head: ROUGH DRAFT
My Personal Classroom Management Plan
I believe in teaching with compassion, dedication, and
enthusiasm while keeping my classroom managed in a way that
will only help the students. I want to be a teacher who is
committed to helping students achieve their academic goals and
keep students at grade level or above grade level in all subject.
My goal to do that is to create a caring and compassionate
classroom. I hope that within each one of them, I can inspire
them to believe and grown and want to seek knowledge to figure
out how to make a big difference in the world.
Professionalism
As a future educator, some professional behaviors need always
to be administered at every instance to ensure the smooth flow
of activities while addressing your career life. Creating trust
between students and teachers is always at times tough situation
but with time good interactions help the students to open and
speak about themselves. Therefore, it is advisable at this
moment neither to take them for granted rather than listen to
them and show compassion. Keeping what the students say to
you as an educator, as secrets, helps create a conducive
environment and improve their trust with you.
Having confidence and caring for others will help improve the

good working environment with coworkers in working
departments. In giving out instructions or rules one must be
confident and not be subject to frequent changes (Bower, Lee &
Dalgarno, 2017). Hence, with a different change of perspectives
every day the coworker loses interest and confidence with you.
Thereby, showing care by listening to their views is important
as everybody at times needs to be listened to feel appreciated.
Code of ethics and professional standards of practice as a future
educator I opt to apply them in my career to ensure equality and
ultimate achievement in each opportunity I come across.
For instance, in problem-solving and decision making we should
consider integrity and honesty to promote a positive
collaborative relationship and supportive educational
environment for students (Bower, Lee & Dalgarno, 2017). Via
honesty, everyone is assured to speak the truth so that justice
can be determined between who is right and wrong. Neither
should those on the wrong side be punished or mocked rather
than advising them for change for the best, hence promoting a
peaceful reconciliation. Therefore, having a perspective
approach towards situations will help me gain confidence in
handling issues that need deep consideration.
Student Engagement Strategies
Once the engagement strategies have been implemented,
the teachers always have more patience for better interaction
with the students. Engagement strategies makes the students
feel that they are in an environment where they are being
accepted and affirmed. That will ensure that the classroom is
warm and inviting for all students from different cultures.
Engagement strategies helps in the students in believing that
they can learn and know how to deal with their failures and at
the same time learn from such experiences.
Understanding what the students usually like and dislike
provides the suggested areas that the teachers can connect with
the students. Allowing the students to work autonomously and
with the rest of the students and developing their sense of

competence can lead to an increase in the student motivation.
That focuses more on the cultivation of the intrinsic motivation
which can eventually foster self-determination that results to
engagement. Active learning in groups and social skills are
some of the key components of engagement.
The easy learning activities and assignments are not as effective
at engaging the students as the challenging activities and
assignments. Once the students are conjecturing, making
connections between ideas, evaluating, and reflecting they are
engaged. The teachers should ensure they have developed rich
educations experiences that challenge the ideas of the students
(DuVivier et al., 2019). Keeping up with the educational
research through engagement in the professional development
activities is key for the teachers in remaining current on the
field.
If there is one engagement strategy that tops the list, it is
showing the students that you care about them. Sometimes this
idea might be misunderstood since teachers may fear the risk of
overstepping certain boundaries. The attention to the students
can be shown through listening to what they have to say
actively, having patience on what they are trying to address and
valuing the opinions they bring on board. That kind of attention
always lets the students know that they matter.
The problems that most of the students face both in and out of
the classroom need a collaborative approach. The role of a
teacher today has moved from being the gatekeeper of all
knowledge and solutions. Teachers are now mentoring and
supports of the quest for discovery in learning, and self-
discovery. The position of the teacher is still a vital one in that
the students thrive on collaboration and teamwork. Teachers
should be willing to talk over the problems that the students are
facing respectfully, agreeing together on a solution and asking
for help if they cannot work it out together.
Instant entertainment and social connection are the cultural
norm for the students today. The students might tend to
gravitate towards a particular digital stimulus as well. As a

teacher, it is important to first familiarize with the habits and
mindsets that usually define the students` digital generation.
The culture of the students includes different subcultures that
should be looked at (Rands & Gansemer-Topf, 2017). All what
is required in to try and understand why all such things are
important to the students.
According to the National Council of Teachers of English,
students who fail to find representations of their own cultures in
texts are more likely to lose interest in the school-based
literacies. Having such representations will help the students in
seeing the connections between what the y are learning both
inside and outside the classroom. An easier way to have the
English students feel connected to what is being taught is
talking about how they can apply the material in real life and
linking the routines to learning.
Students with exceptionalities should be instructed to evaluate
whether they have been paying attention at the random intervals
throughout the school day. That is usually accomplished with an
auditory cue like a chime that prompts every child to reflect on
different questions. Students with exceptionalities can as well
be instructed to log on a chart or even a graph to check whether
they have been able to complete a predefined problem or task.
The infographics are the visual representations of information.
They are usually designed to make information easy to
understand very quickly. They are typically designed in such a
way that they can draw attention to the most significant
information first. Visuals are usually more engaging than the
written text and they convey a lot of information and the
infographics usually take all that to a whole new level.
Infographics are typically used to display some sort of data.
The blogs are short online articles that are taking the world by
storm. The blogs are a great resource for both the author and the
reader, and the author can constructively express their thoughts
through the technology and the reader learns something new.
Posting the written instructions as blogs allows the students to
showcase their work and can as well assist each other out

through the posting of comments. Posting of the blogs publicly
means that one will probably receive higher quality work.
My Philosophy of Classroom Management
Character education and positive behavioral interventions play a
major role in shaping the behavior management system. Both
character education and PBIS aid in improving life and
academic success by promoting positive life skills. Besides,
character education focusses on implementing lifelong social
and emotional capabilities while the PBIS is focused on
improving the positive conduct bit by bit to the students.
Furthermore, character education is made to aid the student to
open their minds and think big on implementing their decision
on approaching any issue while PBIS aids students to meet
various observable behaviors expectations (Shields, 2019).
Character education thus helps promote higher education
performance and reduce violence risks while PBIS help
improves student engagement in school and classroom
activities. However, character education and PBIS have certain
weaknesses that are character education limits influence as
many students are already engaged to various moral values
before joining school while PBIS needs active supervision to
reinforce consistency.
I believe that in classroom management students and teachers
should have cooperation for the student to develop better
learning skills. Students should be controlled and disciplined at
any moment they show misbehavior as they are growing up thus
need to be taught what is right and wrong for them (Egeberg,
McConney & Price, 2016). Students are always disturbing and
ever nagging thus needs to be taught and molded on how to stay
calm within the classroom. Furthermore, enhancing democracy
in class and giving students the chance to speak up will help
develop a good relationship.
Teachers need not facilitate the students or be harsh rather they
should show compassion to each child and help them to grasp
more knowledgeable ideas. It would be better if students are
offered with the rules so that when they violate the teacher

disciplines them (Gage & MacSuga-Gage, 2017). On managing
the classroom students showing a progressive change in
behavior should at least be awarded to motivate their good
deeds. Hence the others to be taught self-control to enable them
to govern themselves. Elements of classroom management
model include communication, which is essential as there must
clearly outline of rules to ensure everybody gets to know what
is happening.
Discipline should be embraced as the students should be taught
their limits and not exceed them if they don't want to face the
consequences. Besides, scheduling is essential and should be
effective enough to enable the students to keep time and be able
to accomplish the assigned duties in time (Schiefele, 2017). I
would incorporate the PBIS system in my future classroom
management application because it increases student's
engagement in classwork activities and still promotes
improvement in school culture. My classroom management
framework fosters learning and meets the needs of all students
in that democracy is highly employed and the relationship
between the teachers and students is mutual and conducive as it
avoids tension. It also creates self-motivation by students
getting time to share their ideas with teachers hence at the same
time it creates time for positive social interactions.
Rules, Consequences, and Reward System
I will be implementing many rules, consequences and rewards in
the classroom. The several procedures discussed help in
minimizing distractions and maximize instructional time. In
reducing distraction, the creation of a system for restroom use
helps to keep track of students in time management and
avoiding frequent movements that may distract student's
attention while in class. This also allows students to focus on
classwork as they are supposed to be prepared before the start
of any level.
In maximizing the instructional time, beginning the classroom
intentionally helps to avoid time wastage and increase the
learning time. This helps the teacher to cover all the

instructions needed for that lesson and finish up within time,
having all the students understood (Grube et al., 2018). The
punctual the teacher is the same will be students and thus
having time to cover the critical sections in class and the
teacher will help students deal with their social life difficulties
thorough advice.
Rules:
1) I will be responsible.
2) I will respect others and myself.
3) I will choose to learn what I am supposed to.
4) I will do my best while learning.
5) I will always allow the teacher to teach me.
Consequences:
1) Warn the students upon the first time breaking the rule.
2)The second time the student violates the law, he will meet the
instructor and get a recess of ten minutes.
3) The third time I will look up to knowing students' names,
fifteen minutes recess, and to meet the instructor again.
4) Fourth time the student breaks rule will get fifteen minutes
recess, an action is taken seriously, and even parents are called
to be informed.
5) During the fifth time, the student is directly sent to the
staff’s office for further case analysis.
The consequences will be documented in the classroom, and, I
will have a copy too for the students to learn what will follow if
they break the rules governing effective classroom management.
This will also tell what is expected for them if they happen to
defile the desired regulations within the classroom. The
consequences will be documented on a manila paper and hanged
at the front of the school at the corner.
A reward system is an effective method used to celebrate a
student's achievement in classwork. In developing the reward
system, the teacher will adopt many ways to celebrate the
student's success. For instance, teaching the class a favorite
game and in accompaniment with several songs is essential. The
teacher may also allow the student to use the teacher's seat as a

sign of superiority. The reward system will be documented on a
manila paper and placed at a strategic place in the classroom.
The reward system helps them create a safe and productive
learning environment for students. The reward system helps
promote appropriate behavior in the classroom, thus reducing
conflicts between students as each student works to achieve the
set goal. Besides, students become kind to one another, and
keeping safety becomes their major priority all through both
outsides and within the classroom environment.
Moreover, the reward system motivates students for full effort
on classroom tasks. As everybody is working smart to achieve
the set goal for them to get the desired rewards, it helps develop
motives towards success (Kirillov et al., 2016). A reward
system helps create a productive environment by assisting
students to complete their projects and homework on time.
Apart from just completing the homework, it helps the students
to analyze it effectively to score higher marks.
