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.

After modeled and directions are given, I then have students repeat the directions for me so that there is no confusion over any of the activity.
Supportive Discipline Measures: Supportive discipline measures are measures taken to get student back on task. Reactive strategies are interventions that are put in place once the demanding behavior occurs. This is the consequences to the behavior and is used to cut the behavior short and minimize the damage of the
