    This classroom management plan outlines Holland Evermore's philosophy and strategies for creating a positive learning environment. The plan emphasizes an authoritative management style that gives students choice and encourages self-awareness. Clear expectations, modeling, and consistent discipline will establish a positive classroom culture. Students will help develop some class rules and procedures to promote ownership. A game-based learning model focuses on student-directed learning and de-emphasizes grades. The open classroom layout provides space for different activities and support for students who need extra guidance or a calm space. Behaviors will be addressed through questioning to help students understand inappropriate actions. Parents will be involved as partners through communication and opportunities to meet with the teacher and student.

    Classroom Management Plan

    Holland Evermore
    Drake University
    Fall 2015

    I. Management Style and Philosophical Beliefs

    Teachers are mentors who help students learn it is ok to fail, to get up and try again. It is ok to
    be different, that is was makes us great so be you and dont let anyone tell you differently. We
    help our students find a dream and achieve it, or find the path and skills they need to get
    there. Teachers mentor students to accept and respect themselves and others, to not stand for
    bullying. Teachers are the dream makers and students the dreamers, we encourage them to
    grow and give them the drive to reach for their potential.
    My belief of being a mentor and a coach to students is to help them develop their own cognitive ability to make choices, justify their reasoning, develop their own identity, and have the
    confidence to be themselves, and to keep trying until they achieve success.
    Classroom management is essential for our students to succeed. Good management allows for
    all students to get the instruction they need. With sound strategies for modifying behavior,
    scaffolding instruction, and establishing discipline we give our students the best chances for
    growth.
    My management style is an authoritative one because I believe in giving students choice, encouraging them to come up with their own ideas and to realize the reasons for their behavior.
    I work with the students to build their own awareness of their actions and to develop a desire
    to learn.

    II. Establishing a Positive Classroom Culture


    Setting clear expectations, modeling behavior,providing consistent but far discipline, getting to
    know your students, and incorporating their interests,create a positive classroom culture.
    Student Interest surveys will help you learn about your students and are is great tool to use on
    the first day of class to let students know you care. Another strategy to use is minor choice and
    allow students to elect representatives to govern the class. They elect key roles, time keeper,
    supply chief, attendance taker, pass patrol, and sketchbook monitor, or have the teacher govern
    the class. The teacher sets the expectations of each role and models what they are to do, and
    what will happen if the students do not meet those expectations. This minor choice sets a tone
    of mutual respect and collaboration with the students.

    III. Developing Classroom Rules and Procedures


    There are some rules and procedures that should be set by the teacher, but students should
    have a voice in creating some class rules. By doing this they take ownership of them and reinforces mutual respect. These rules and procedures should be clearly communicated to both
    students and parents at the start of class. The rules should be visible in the class as a reminder
    and reference.
    Game based learning (GBL) is the model I will use in my classroom, this allows students to
    guide their own learning, the teacher to identify the specific needs for the students, de-emphasizes grades and focuses on achievements, allows for students to develop wonderful ideas, and
    to develop essential life skills.
    I want to use this model in my class because it works with my management style and I have
    seen the effectiveness if the model in my practicum experience. GBL emphasizes student directed learning and de-emphasizes direct instruction. In the art room they choose what projects
    they want to do and what materials they want to use, their goal is to complete the different
    levels for each studio area.
    Students are provided a blue sheet that describes the levels by studio area, 2D, 3D, Craft, and
    Technology.(This is the model from my mentor teacher, but he levels are determined by the
    teacher) Then they complete level one for each studio, after that they choose what area they
    wish to work on. Instructional videos are incorporated to provide basic knowledge, and students check in with the teacher when they need assistance while the teacher is free to move
    about the class guiding students learning through questioning. The blue sheet allows for you to
    keep track of the students progress and by adding journals using google drives students can
    photo their progress and journal about what they are learning as a formative assessment.

    IV. Classroom Layout


    Rules and Seating Map

    Daily Objectives

    Schedules and Sign Ups

    Behavior Station

    Technology

    Help Center

    Visuals

    3D/Craft

    2D
    Messy Area

    This layout provides students to have the space they need and easy access to supplies for the area they
    are focusing on. There is a seating map in the front where students will label what area they will be
    working in, along with the daily objective and schedules. The Visuals are visual examples of skills, and
    expectations of work. Along the West wall there are storage areas for large projects and supply cabinets
    for the 3D/Craft area. The messy area is for painting, ceramics, any medium that can get messy. The
    help center allows for scaffolding by allowing the teacher to place students who need extra guidance to
    be in one place of focus, either by the teacher assigning them to sit there until they are ready to move,
    or by the student choosing to sit there for help. This allows the students who need less guidance to
    work freely from distraction. The behavior station allows for students who need a calm area, or have
    not been on task to have space to work without disrupting the rest of the class. The small storage in the
    center is for worksheet and sketchbook storage, and the large one is for small project storage for students.

    V. Monitoring the Classroom and Responding to Student Misbehavior


    By using GBL and the classroom layout plan I have illustrated, I will be able to move freely
    about the classroom checking in with students, monitoring there behavior, keep them on task,
    and address any actions that need it.
    Establishing a verbal and visual signal works best for getting the classes attention if needed,
    nonverbal signals can be used for students off task. When the behavior is more severe then I
    would speak with the student to address the behavior and use questioning to get them to discover why the behavior is not appropriate.
    If this does not work and the action continues I would use a PBIS behavior ticket and have
    the student fill it out themselves so they can think about the behavior.
    My main goal is to keep the student in the class as much as possible, if they are not in class
    then they are not learning. If the behavior is mild enough that it is not endangering or disrupting the class then I want to resolve it in class. Even if it means having the student sit in
    the behavior section and speak to me after class so I can still focus on the rest of the class.
    Then I can give the student the full attention he/she deserves when discussing the behavior.

    VI.Parents as Partners
    It is very important for me to include the students families as part of my class. This will help
    provide a more consistent education from the home to school, help with cultural needs of students, and establish and inclusive environment.
    I would like to establish a class webpage, or utilize what the school has, to create a place that
    both parents and students can go to see assignments, activities, projects, galleries of work, and
    get updates.
    I plan to email, or mail, updates to parents to make sure they have good feedback on their students. I will also establish office hours after school once or twice a week so parents have time
    to schedule meetings if they need to outside of parent teacher conferences.
    Keeping grades and progress updated is also important to keep parents informed. During parent teacher conferences I would like for the student to be a part of them so that they can show
    their work and create a learning plan together.
