Classroom management is posing more problems to teachers than it has in the past. More students are finding it necessary to challenge authority rather than go with what they are told to do. Given these situations, teachers are forced to find new approaches to connect with their students. The philosophy that is the most compatible with my personality and teaching style is the collaborative theory of classroom management. This theory is based on the belief that influencing student behavior is the joint responsibility of the student as well as the teacher.…
Unsuccessful, the lack of knowledge in this field of classroom management has been negative for years. Good learning skills require talking, sharing, experimenting and also positive group work. Naturally, teaching a positive good planned and busy lesson will help keep away classroom management problems. The way a classroom is setup is an important factor that influences a student's learning. In one study of 82 teachers, 64 said that classroom management was a weak area for them that they needed help on.…
In terms of setting up and organizing a classroom, introducing and applying the rules comes before building relationships with the students because even though the relationship aspect is important, the students need to learn how to behave and follow the rules accordingly. Putting rules into place and building relationships with the students are equally important but, if I had to rank them, rules would have to come first. It is very important that the students know the rules of the classroom in the beginning because if they do not know the rules, the students automatically assume that there aren’t any rules and they can just walk all over the teacher. This is bad because the teacher ends up loses her authority as a higher figure. If a teacher…
The study used 15 seniors who went through a three-and-a-half day training by trained teachers. The result was the teachers felt more prepared and confident in classroom management because they were able to reflect on their field experience and develop concrete connections between the classroom management techniques they used and the result it had on the student and/or…
Practicum Application Number One Teachers of all early childhood classrooms must ensure they have a plan for classroom management. Classroom management includes the establishment of a positive learning environment or encouraging classroom, physical arrangement of the classroom with learning centers, determination of developmentally appropriate lessons and activities involving movement, routines and schedules, behavioral management, and organization of learning materials (Gartrell, 2014), This practicum application involved observing two kindergarten classrooms, Ms. Jones’ and Ms. Young’s classrooms, to determine the management theory or theories involved, as well as appreciate the differences in teachers’ management styles. The setting of this practicum application was Samuel Chase Elementary School, a Title I school in Prince George’s County, Maryland with a fire last October affecting the kindergarten and first-grade classes this year.…
As a first-year teacher, my goals are to establish an classroom environment that provides students with enriching instruction and rigorous learning activities that enhance their academic achievement and passion for learning, create engaging lesson plans that accommodate each student’s unique academic needs and personal interests, develop an effective classroom management plan that anticipates and prevents behavior issues whenever possible, treat students with respect and addressing issues constructively when they arise, and deliver assessments that provide accurate data so that I can reflect upon the instructional strategies and learning activities utilized to analyze the effectiveness of the chosen techniques to improve my teaching skills.…
As an educator, providing a safe and comfortable classroom environment and maximizing all opportunities for students to learn are very important factors when establishing and maintaining a good and healthy relationship and student’s behavior. My philosophy of classroom management; I will provide a system that will establish and maintain a well-managed classroom environment to enhance student learning opportunities.

It is important for me, as an educator to provide students with rules, consequences, classroom procedures, and a reward system in my classroom.…
My worldview may differ greatly from my peers because I am very young to the profession. The best system that I have seen work to help explicitly and systematically teach classroom expected behaviors is the CHAMPS system. (Sprick, 2010) Classroom management is an area that will continue to change and grow with my teaching…
Looking back at my fieldwork, I am apprehensive about how much experience I actually have spent in a classroom teaching. However, I also know that my time student teaching will overturn this thought and replace it with the amount of experience I did gain. I also recognize that I need to work on my classroom management skills, which I hope to learn from my cooperating-teacher. While I do have general ideas on how to manage a classroom, and even some specific strategies I would like to try, I know that this is something I will have to fully learn by being in a classroom. As a college student, one does not really get to practice classroom management skills, so I believe that my time in an actual classroom will help me develop the essential skills necessary to ensure that my future classrooms run safely, smoothly, and…
Section I: Teaching My idea of great teaching is the ability to bring enthusiasm and creativity into the classroom, by doing this you inspire students to cultivate a love of learning, creating lifelong learners. I believe that teachers should expect great things from each student, regardless of talent, ability, or disability. Teachers should connect with students personally as well as academically. My belief is the act of teaching is actually a learning process; a great teacher will learn from his or her students, teammates, parents, and the society in which they live.…

A successful classroom must be a safe learning environment, offer positive encouragement to encourage students to make the right choices, set rules that are understood by the students, and creating responsible students who can take control over their own work. This type of classroom is a major goal of mine because I feel as though the students would really benefit. I am committed to creating a safe environment and creating positive reinforcement within my classroom.…
Philosophy of Classroom Management and Discipline: My personal philosophy for my classroom management and expectations in my classroom are set clearly through the use of classdojo and classroom laws. Classroom laws are the “rules” that are set within the classroom by the students. This is a list that usually on the first day of school is created as a class. Students express their ideas and thoughts on how the classroom should be ran and what is expected from them and me as a teacher.…
All in all, this assignment showed me that classroom management is such a vital part of the educational process, but it doesn’t have to be scary or overwhelming. By understanding students, trying various techniques, and staying organized, classroom management will fall into place, and students will…
Classroom management is crucial for every teacher to have in a successful learning environment. I believe that students need to be controlled and disciplined; students at this age need to be guided in the right path. They are capable of self-discipline but need to be shown what the rules of the classroom are and what is the expectation of the teacher. I believe that students are basically good but that the environment around them influences them tremendously. If they maintain busy with instruction then they will not have time to be disruptive and they need to be guided to behave appropriately.…
Final Exam: 1. The quote, “Classroom management is 90% of the job. The remaining 90% is delivery of instruction,” means to me that good classroom management is needed, but you need to teach the students so they can connect to the science they are learning about. The room should be arranged nicely and clear, specific rules should be in place for the daily routine and housekeeping of the class. As their teacher, I should have high expectations and plan accordingly.…
