Classroom Management 1 1

Classroom Management
Classroom management is established through the use of positive discipline that is centered on a
classroom community that promotes the six pillars of character that District 308 encourages;
trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Daily predictable and consistent
routines are a part of the curriculum throughout the day to support learning while aiding in building
positive behavior and controlling negative student behavior. My role as the teacher is to serve as a
positive role model by following the classroom rules along with my encouraging and optimistic attitude.
Positive praise is given on a regular basis. My behavior plan reinforces appropriate student behavior and
utilizes natural/logical consequences with direct instruction. These all lead in providing students with a
safe atmosphere to allow them to feel respected, valued, and comfortable so they have more engaging
learning experiences and contribute positively to the community.
Every student is a part of our classroom community and are given clear expectations and logical
consequences. Together, classroom rules will be created. My role during this process is to guide students
to create appropriate classroom rules that foster a positive learning environment. A sample list of rules
would be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Always try your best

Be kind to yourself and others
Be respectful
Help each other
Be safe
Logical consequences will be given if rules are broken. If students make the mistake of breaking a rule, I
let them know that mistakes are forgiven and I guide students to take ownership of their mistake by
having them state what the negative behavior was, what they should have done, and what they can do if
the problem arises in the future. I see this as a teachable moment for students to understand that they can
learn from their mistakes. Students are encouraged to work through problems that they are able to
appropriately solve on their own.
Individual Behavior Plan

My positive classroom management plan allows for mistakes and promotes individualized intrinsic
rewards by using the clip chart management plan. Students begin the day Ready to learn by being a
positive part of our classroom community, and by following the classroom rules or displaying the six
pillars of character, students are able to clip up to Good Day then to Outstanding and lastly to Great
Job. If a student clips up to Great Job, parents receive a letter written by the student and myself
praising the student and giving examples of the positive behavior used.
If a student is having a challenging day and not following the rules, he or she will clip down to Slow
Down, acting as a warning to turn the behavior around. If negative behavior continues, the child will clip
down to Teacher Choice (where logical appropriate consequences will be given to the student along
with encouragement to change the behavior). Lastly, if the student continues the negative behavior he or
she will clip down to Parent Contact. Parents will be contacted and notified of the negative behavior(s)
that the student was participating in along with the logical appropriate consequence given.
If a student makes a mistake and has to clip down, but turns his/her behavior around to positive, he/she is
able to clip back up!
Whole class behavior plan

Being a part of a classroom community promotes collaboration, strong social skills, responsibility,
respectfulness, and teamwork which aids in students social and emotional development. As a
community, there is a promotion of fellowship, and therefore I feel that it necessary to encourage students
to be rewarded when they are working positively as a whole.
As a whole, I reward students through the use of extrinsic motivation. When the class is entirely
participating in positive behavior and exhibiting star behavior (better than expected behavior and
positively working as a community), then students will earn a star for the Star Jar. The goal is to fill the
jar with 20 stars to be able to earn a sticker or pencil along with a chosen fun day such as pajama day.
