When reading Chapter 5 “Craig Seganti on Taking charge in the classroom”, the overall chapter was interesting when it comes to managing a classroom. As a teacher, we want to be able to control the structure of a classroom, but at times is unable to accomplish the task due to our student’s behaviors. At the beginning of the chapter it states a productive classroom may have difficulties but it is the way a teacher present themselves along with the rules of the classroom determines the outcome of the student’s actions. When presenting to the students the rules of the classroom, the teacher needs to present the rules on the first day of school and have the students sign a copy to ensure they are aware of the information. When it comes to the
Classroom management is a play a huge portion in student learning. Discipline problems will arise in the classroom, but when conflicts occur, teachers can deal more effectively when they respond appropriately to the situation, by listening to the students and using problem solving skills. All teaching involves assessing and
My personal classroom management philosophy is to provide an equal, optimistic, learning environment. I believe the environment should be friendly, and students are all equals with the ability to actively listen to the teacher. The environment should be controlled and disciplined, but not authoritarian . Students are innately curious, disruptive and talkative. Rules will be set in place, however this is a learning environment so we will constantly work on appropriate behavior.
I believe my Classroom Management Plan will work to provide the students with a safe and supportive learning environment in providing them with resources that will benefit them for their learning in the classroom. I will provide guidelines and instruction for them to follow in in order to provide a safe and respectful environment for all students. I will have differentiation instruction to support all students learning and listen to my students to gain feedback for my lessons and teaching styles. I plan on getting to know students and building meaningful relationships with them by showing that I care about them and them being successful learners in my classroom. I will engage in activities to get all my students to get to
The teacher who establishes positive expectations for all his students have high rates of academic success in the classroom. The teacher needs to offer quality instruction, provide extra help, create a positive learning environment, show respect, enforce fairness, and must give his best effort each
Over the past few years of my undergraduate classes, I have received the opportunity to expand my knowledge through different teaching experiences. I have had the opportunity to observe and implement different strategies in the classroom, giving me examples of how I would like to see my future classroom look. I have established ideas about teaching and learning that have impacted me in a great way. I have developed beliefs I would like to some day see in my classroom but, I am always willing to learn and take constructive criticism in my teaching as well. I strongly believe that classroom management is key to student and teacher success in the classroom.
There are many ways that I believe that my classroom management skills have improved, but I would like to focus on three skills: patience, communication, and documentation. Patience is so important in all facets of life, but extremely important while teaching. It is so easy to get frustrated with students who disobey, do not understand the information, or just simply not nice, but as a teacher, I must look past all of those. I believe that a major quality of a patient teacher is a teacher who used positive reinforcement as the number way he or she treats students, and that is the type of teacher I want to be. I will be a teacher who consistently motivates their students with positive reinforcement even when it would be easy to punish and get extremely angry at the student.
Classroom management is the foundation to every student’s learning process. It sets the stage for creativity, problem-solving, and production. Students engage when the classroom is well organized. Throughout my childhood, art has meant freedom of self-expression and I would like to parallel that kind of freedom in my classroom, sharing my passion for the many expressions of art. My students will be free to express themselves creatively in my classroom and they will use art to better understand themselves and the world around them.
For example, everyone has the chance to speak, no one should be interrupted, and everyone should be respected. The students move smoothly through each station as they have clear instructions and prompts to help guide them. The teacher actively observes and engages with the students during the station work. This guidance helps keeps distractions at a minimum. In order for students to be successful in the classroom it is important that a classroom is well managed.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY A great educator takes the time to build valuable relationships with each member of her class and builds confidence, mutual respect, and trust in her classroom. When thinking about my role as a teacher in the classroom the most crucial part to a successful classroom is the relationships I will build with my students. I want the class to trust me and their peers enough to have conversations about what is important to them. I would like my students to clearly articulate their own thoughts and feelings.
However, in my experience, to effectively manage the classroom teachers should not only rely on a well organized lesson plan and their knowledge of the subject being taught, teachers must also recognize that each and every student are different and understand their unique needs. In order to achieve an effective classroom management a teacher must also be: Fair Give clear instruction Be confident and somewhat flexible Get to know and understand their students Accept diversity and learn from their different backgrounds Encourage student interaction Have a positive relationship with students Make students feel
Effective ways to encourage and teach appropriate student behaviors are highly valued by educators. Thus, the theorists of classroom management mentioned above continue to provide direction of contemporary
For the majority of us, the moment we decided to become teachers we start dreaming about all of the wonderful things we are going to do, what our classrooms will look like, all of the great lessons we will plan, and the lasting relationships we will build with our students. Then reality hits, and we realize that not only are we responsible for educating the 18 to 25 students that will be in our classroom, but we are also responsible providing them the tools they will need to be successful in life. In order to accomplish these goals in my own future classroom I will adopt the two managerial approaches I feel align with how I plan to teach and manage my classroom. The first managerial approach I plan to adopt is the Authoritative Approach.
Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. It also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior. It is one of the most difficult tasks or aspect of teaching for many teachers. This single skill has heavily contributed to teacher stress and burnout (Gordon, 2002, Jepson & Forrest, 2006), overall teacher efficacy(Caprarait al., 2003; Edwards it al., 2002), students achievement and teacher performance in the classroom (Edwards it al. ,2002; Milner, 2002; Pavlov, 2007), and has commonly been a major concern of principals regarding new teachers (Principal Perspective, 2004; Williams).
Educators have always rated discipline as one of the most serious obstacles to promoting effective teaching. Proper Classroom management leads to class control and conducive teaching learning environment. According to Evertson and Weinstein (2006) Classroom management has two distinct purposes: “It not
