Personal Statement: My Philosophy In The Classroom

703 Words3 Pages

My philosophy in the classroom begins with the behavior of the classroom. The behavior of the classroom cannot be predicted for everyday but it can be managed and controlled effectively by having a good balance of discipline in the classroom. Establishing myself as the head of the classroom to my students will create a level of respect. I plan on showing my students the same level of respect that they show me in the classroom. I believe that students do not need to be controlled or monitored 24/7 just to behave in a classroom. When rules are established and enforced in the classroom students must be aware of these rules and the consequences. Making them aware of the rules and procedures for breaking these rules is how to effectively teach them self-discipline. If I am not clear with the students on what is not acceptable behavior, then I cannot assume for them to know what is unacceptable or not. …show more content…

I will give students the option to voice their opinions in the classroom and work with them to help reach the goals that they would like to see. I will work with the parents of my students to help them reach their expectations and to maximize their potential. With the established rules I will have, I will allow students input on should the consequences remain the same or should they vary upon severity. I will then discuss with the parents that the students helped me with establishing these consequences and that if there are any misconducts the students are well aware of the consequence because they helped form them. Managing my classroom is what I would love to do the majority of the time in the class in place of disciplining them. The difference I see between the two is that managing is allowing the students to be themselves and trust that they are doing their work and not just throwing discipline at them. Time wasted on discipline could be used on instruction in the

Andrew Johnson was doomed from the beginning of his political career when Lincoln asked for his vice-presidency. Johnson was an untrusted Southern Democrat that was not worth his weight in gold. After the assassination of Lincoln, the Radical Republicans had hoped his hatred for the planter aristocrats would help their cause in the form of the Wade-Davis bill. His rooted beliefs to help the less fortunate vanished when he realized his power over the southern aristocrats and passed the "10%" Reconstruction Plan instead. He pardoned the southern congress men, accused of treason, and continued to veto bills that would promote the freedmen.

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.

I clearly state the learning and behavioral expectations for my class and I uphold them. Most importantly I make sure to create each lesson to meet the individual needs of every student, so that everyone is learning. For instance, when working on math I create a math warm up that caters to all of the needs of my students. One math worksheet will have images of coins and they have to count the coins and write the answer or use a number stamp to stamp the answer. Then they will have to skip count by 1’s writing themselves, circling the answer, or using a number stamp.

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.

As aforementioned, I would collaborate with my students about the type of consequences that they would have if they made poor choices that broke one of the rules. The type of consequence that I would use the least in my classroom would be the conventional consequences. In my opinion, removing students from the learning environment, unless absolutely necessary, is a disservice to students. This is not to say that some of the consequences may remove students from their working environment, because they might, but students will always be in the classroom. To better explain my point, consider the following example: Joe is working with his group during math centers, and he begins to throw the manipulatives at his classmates.

Classroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students, while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom management is really hard and there are many theorists that talk about it and each is different from the other where each theorist has his/her own ideas and thoughts. Some of them are mentioned below. In Redl and Wattenberg 's theories, they encompass group dynamics, self-control, the pleasure-pain principle, and understanding reality.

With the ability of discipline in a classroom setting will teach the students that there are rules placed for a reason. I plan to use this by having basic rules that the students must follow at all times. For example, CHAMPS, SLANT, etc. If a student does not follow the rules, I will have to punish them by either giving them a warning, calling their parents, or simply writing them up. It will provide a safe environment for the students to be in everyday.

I am not sure that I have one type of discipline to follow. I believe choice theory, assertive discipline, and conflict resolution, will all be juggled in my class depending on the situation. If the students can resolve a conflict among themselves then I will let them do so. If the problem escalades then I will use a more assertive measure. I will have classroom rules that will need to be followed to prevent some misbehavior.
