Classroom Management Plan
My classroom management has been a kaleidoscope of changes, and has been built based off my experience during fall placement. Each one of my classes is vastly different; therefore, my management plan is tailored to fit each unique body of students. For example, my first two periods are extremely quiet and passive; it is a struggle to get the most basic of responses from them. Passivity can be just as frustrating to combat as disruptive outbursts. The two freshman classes are crowded and obstinate. Their constant need to argue can make it rather difficult to get through a whole lesson. Sixth period is by far the smallest in size, but the loudest and most off-task class I teach. Seventh period is a God-send. Although every desk is filled, they are very smart and work hard. All classes are different; therefore, multiple management plans need to be developed to tailor the specific needs of each class.
Management Plan:
· All students need to be alert and responsive.
o If only one or two students are responding to questions, I will then ask all students to raise a hand when I pose a question
o If I have students that are afraid to talk aloud, I will have them share with a partner.
· Students who are disruptive:
o First Warning—They are given a non-verbal warning
§ A look
§ I will continue teaching, but I will move over right by them.
o Second Warning—They are given a verbal warning
§ I will comment on their disruptive behavior, asking them to stop
o Third Warning—They are given another verbal warning
§ Also, they are then moved to a new seat.
o Fourth Warning—They are sent to the hall where I can talk with them once I get the rest of the class going on work/assignment.
§ Student/Students are allowed back in once I have discussed with them and found a solution for the problem.
o Fifth Warning—Their parents are called, and/or they are sent to the office.
