Recommended: Conclusion on effective classroom management

When it comes to managing a classroom, I am sure that as I gain experience my methods and beliefs will change. However, it is still imperative that a beginning teacher has clear strategies for classroom management that are put into place before the first day of class even begins. This paper will discuss some of my current perceptions over how to be an effective classroom manager, detailing and justifying several key ideas and themes that will hopefully enable my classroom to become a well running and effective place of learning. To begin with establishing routines is perhaps the most important aspect of effective classroom management. This is an idea that has been stressed in multiple textbooks, and in every cooperating teacher I have …show more content…

Personal phones and specific apps will be utilized in activities, they will be given time to search things, play games, and many sorts of other activities that will all greatly add to the lessons and help students really learn what I am attempting to teach them. This being said, there will be a time and place for technology, all other times I expect cellphones, IPads, IPods, and computers to be put away. Respect is a two way street, I am respecting the students by giving them my undivided attention so I expect the same from them. Furthermore, once students get into the workforce and/or college they will not be allowed on their personal electronics so by not allowing it my classroom I will be preparing them for the outside world. Headphones will not be allowed at all in the classroom, it is a personal pet peeve of mine when people constantly have earphones in when others are talking to them, it is rude and unprofessional thus it will not be allowed in my …show more content…

Respect all people. This rule covers a lot of ground and I believe it is the most important in creating a productive and healthy classroom environment. “People” includes, but is not limited to, the teacher, other students, guests, and themselves. This tells students that in my class it is not okay to bully others, it is not okay to make anyone (including themselves) feel inferior, it is not okay to not appreciate someone’s effort, it is not okay to judge someone on their difference, and so on. This is the ultimate rule in my life, I believe that if more people followed it the world would be a better place, so it will also be the ultimate rule in my

SJTAA5007 The role of Teachers and support staff in identifying and implementing interventions that suit children’s individual needs using positive behaviour strategies within a primary setting. For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives. Difficulties often become apparent within the structured institutions such as schools where large cohorts are expected by society to conform to a certain acceptability of behaviour.

Incorporating effective classroom management strategies is critical in the learning environment,but challenging as well. Especially in a classroom that consists of a good amount of students. I was privileged to observe how Mrs. Batista, a 2nd grade teacher at Robert Gordon Elementary School in Rahway NJ, used her experience, methods, and strategies to manage her class. In Mrs. Batista’s class there are eighteen students, 12 boys and 6 girls. The class is culturally diverse.

The three personal beliefs I choose are respect others, accountability, and truth. I believe my personal beliefs would benefit students not only in school, but also in everyday life. Respecting others is essential for students in developing relationships with peers and teachers. Students who learn to respect each other and authority will develop into productive citizens. It not only allows them to respect others, but also to respect themselves and to make good choices.

Of course, the teacher does not have total control over each student, there are means by which an instructor can yield the results she/he is looking for. Although our authors both bring up strong points about the use of cell phones in classrooms, they sometimes overstated the degree to which they are disruptive. The authors also give a good idea as to how the reduction of cell phone use would help classrooms become better learning environments with more respect for instructors and peers and how one’s grades have the possibility of improving once their cell phones have been put away. If purely stating these ideas to students would not help the students use their phones less, then incentives or penalizations can be offered by the instructor to make such a problem

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.

The first managerial approach I plan to adopt is the Authoritative Approach.

Petra Nemcova once said, “We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.” (Brainy Quote) A natural disaster is unpredictable and will obliterate anything in its path. Families and victims go through sorrow and nuisance. I watched many emotions arise and spirits emerge when I saw the victims of the earthquake that happened in Haiti six years ago.

Kelly Bryant: Teaching Philosophy In my view, an effective teacher must be: • well-organized: I found that students are more likely to accept what they are learning when it is logically presented in an orderly, precise, and clear manner. • accessible to students: by relating to students and being accessible, one creates an encouraging learning atmosphere that kindles their minds' fire. • knowledgeable in current trends in research and practice: it is critical for a teacher to keep up with changes in current research and practice. I want to be a teacher that inspires her students to learn, not just the particular subject that I am teaching, but I would love for my students to develop a passion for learning in general while they are in my classroom.
