  Classroom Management Plan         My classroom management plan starts with coming up with the class rules.   On the first day of class my students will be asked to write down rules they expect me to enforce.   Allowing students to be involved in the rule making process is an important part of building a classroom community in which the students feel respected and heard.   They will also be more apt to follow rules they set for themselves. I will set up a routine that my students will follow.   My class will always begin with taking role.   I will then assess background knowledge if starting a new unit or do a review of content.   Then I will roll into the main lesson.   The second half of my class will be a reading group.   This splits my block into two sections and allows students to transition to something new.   Students will be asked to clean their area prior to leaving for their next class 1 or ...

  Teaching Philosophy My philosophy of education is that the classroom is a safe place to explore, innovate, take risks, and learn without fear of judgement or reprisal.  My classroom will foster an environment of mutual respect which will teach students what it means to be a good citizen. I believe the role of a teacher is to give students the tools they need to succeed.  I will use strategies to ensure students are able to take charge of their own education through structured student-centered learning.  I want to instill confidence and self-sufficiency in my students so that they can be better prepared for future education, careers, and personal endeavors. My goal is to have an effective classroom management plan that creates an atmosphere free from distraction in which all students can focus on pursuing their education.  I will be an example and role model to my students and be committed to excellence.
