Chapter 10 Assignment

For this Assignment I will be talking about my philosophy of classroom management. I

will also be talking about four things that I will have in my classroom with my students and that
is creating a positive learning community and environment like cooperative learning and my
classroom setup. I will talk about my planning and procedures for the classroom and how I will
be Involving parents. Then I will talk about my classroom rules and consequences.
The first thing I want to have in my classroom is having a positive learning community
and environment around me. I want to make sure that my students feel welcomed in the
classroom and that the students are in a positive environment with each other and that they can
get along well and also let them know that they will have to listen carefully so that they
understand what I expect from them when they turn in their work. An Example that I have is A
positive classroom climate which is an environment in which learners feel physically and
emotionally safe, personally connected to both their teacher and their peers, and worthy of love
and respect(KAUCHAK AND EGGEN).
Next I want to talk about my planning and procedures that I will have in the classroom.
For planning is I would greet students at the door and I would introduce myself and welcome

them with a smile. I would also explain and practice class routines and I would also discuss
class or individual goals and expectations and also review, explain, and discuss school rules and
procedures. I would also help students introduce themselves and prepare nametags to help
everyone feel more comfortable. I would also explain my procedures for the classroom as for
entering and leaving the classroom, handing in and returning papers. I would make sure they
understood how to access materials such as scissors, paper, pencils, making trips to the bathroom
and making up work after an absence.
The next things I feel is extremely important are communicating with the students and try
to find ways by involving parents. I would include things like maintaining communication by
frequently sending home packets of student work, descriptions of new units and other
information about academic work. I would also let parents know when their child did a really
good job on an assignment and that they made a big accomplishment by either e-mailing them or
send home a newsletter with the student so that they can show what they accomplished in the
classroom. I would also make sure the parents understand that I was available to them to address
any questions either through meetings, email or phone. I feel that if I communicate well with the
parents the better relationships I will have with the students.
Now I will explain my classroom rules and consequences that I will have in my
classroom. Show respect to myself, others, and the classroom. Be prepared and give your best
effort. Try not to do anything to keep the teacher from teaching anyone, myself included from
learning. The consequences that I would have in my classroom are change seats, student/teacher
conference, office referral, and other appropriate action. At the start of the school year I would
let the students know of these so that they know what to expect from me with my classroom rules
and consequences.

In conclusion this is my Philosophy of Classroom Management and how I would break

it down with all of my students. As I said before I want my students to come in and have fun and
be positive with each other and let them know that we are here to learn and get better at anything
whether your good at it or not. I also feel that the more planning and procedures you make the
better you are prepared with your students and the easier it is on you as a teacher especially if it
is your first year of teaching. Involving parents is a great idea to do because it helps you
determine what the child needs help at and what things they are good at and the more
communication you do with the parents the better relationships you will have with them. The last
thing I want to talk about with my Philosophy of Classroom Management is making classroom
rules and having consequences if students dont listen these are critical in classroom management
because it will tell you how prepared you are with your students and if your students are not
following the rules it is good to have consequences because that lets the students know they need
to listen to you more.
