The ensuing classroom management plan details every aspect of my philosophy, rules, procedures, consequences, positive reinforcements, and classroom design for my 8th Grade English class. I will use this plan as a guide during the course of the year in order to help me make decisions, plan lessons, and work with students effectively. As Dinsmore states (2003) Classroom management is much more than a discipline plan, it encompasses the teacher's beliefs and values, as they relate to discipline, but also how they intertwine with various other underlying aspects of the class' structure. The physical environment of the classroom, the amount of teacher preparation, and ways in which the lesson is presented are three of the aspects influencing classroom management. (pg. 4)
Classroom Philosophy
I believe that all adolescents have the ability to set goals, work hard, stay focused, and earn good grades. With this belief, it is necessary for the teacher to be a supportive instrument in the student’s daily schedule. In being prepared to teach the daily lesson, it allows the teacher to be able to actively listen to the needs of the students and help them in any possible way that is fit for the lesson. This sets the tone that all children can learn and achieve greatness.
With well thought out and executed procedures, rules, and consistency the teacher has set up an environment that is focused on the students learning. It is also important for the teacher to provide a safe and caring environment for all students.

If students choose to follow the rules, the following rewards will occur:
1. Verbal praise
2. Letter home
3. Email home
Exceptions to the rules
I understand that there will be times that a classroom rule will be broken and that I will choose to not punish the student(s). An example of this is easily seen during a group discussion period. I have seen, first hand, that even though the group protocol is to raise your hand to speak, and wait to be acknowledged, it is sometimes difficult to wait because you do not want to miss the moment of being active in the conversation . With that in mind, I can foresee myself allowing a discussion to move forward even with students interrupting each other. This situation can continue to be a controlled and educational experience even though there may be a little disorder to it.

    My philosophy of classroom management is based on the individual relationships I form with each student, on the relationships they form with each other, and on the expectations I place on myself in relationship to my capabilities as a teacher. Just as with adults living together in our global world, I believe that as a teacher, it is my responsibility to recognize the individual differences inherent to every child “living together” in the classroom, and to implement an environment of mutual respect and support of social camaraderie with an ambition towards education.

    As an educator, my goal is to prepare students for the “real world” to the best of my abilities. Many times, teachers are the only guiding light in students’ lives and are often their greatest influence. School is more than just a place for learning. The experiences students have in school usually lay the groundwork for the future of their lives. School is also a place for social interaction. The everyday interaction with other students prepares them to handle themselves properly once their schooling is finished. If a person breaks the rules, he or she is punished for it, the same way they would if they broke a law in society.

Having the right environment for all students to learn is my major goal of implementing good classroom management--without it the students would not be able to learn.

    Classroom management is a key element to establish a successful learning environment in any classroom. An effective classroom management plan creates a positive learning environment. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behavior. Students’ behavior is influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Teachers need a diverse array of classroom management skills to facilitate learning. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning. Students in effectively managed classrooms know and follow clearly defined rules and routines. A classroom management plan should provide for several important factors that influence proper discipline in the classroom (Edwards, 2004).
