Based on the Teacher Talk classroom management profile questionnaire, my teaching style is authoritative. The authoritative teacher is able to place limits and controls on the students but simultaneously encourages independence. When a student is disruptive, this teaching style offers a polite, but firm, reprimand. At first, I was surprised by my results, believing that I was more of a Laissez-faire teacher.

For example, I exhibit a warm and nurturing attitude toward my students and expresses genuine interest and affection.

Though it might appear chaotic, my classroom will include a great deal of structure within my classroom. I like organization and a clean

First, it is imperative to get to know the students from the beginning. I will allow my students to write down the classroom rules that they think I will implement and add any rules that the students did not come up with, I will make a big poster with those rules and have all of the students sign a contract. Furthermore, I will be considering the school policies when developing a classroom management plan and use them as the basis system while I create my own. I will stablish clear and consistent boundaries in the class since without those boundaries it is not possible to have a functional classroom. Verbal and non-verbal reinforcements are to be used consistently to keep a positive atmosphere in the classroom.
