Inclusive Classroom Management Case Study

Great Essays
I aim to build a democratic, respectful, inclusive classroom culture. I will develop positive teacher-student relationships as Grossman (2004, p. 25) states that these are all vital aspects of effective classroom management. Respect for others and themselves is the cornerstone of my classroom atmosphere. Learning can only occur in an environment where each member feels safe, valued and appreciated as stated by (Coag.gov.au, 2015). For example, I will show consideration for my students by addressing them respectfully and by name.

Incentive theory is endorsed by behavioural psychologists together with B.F. Skinner who endorses the ‘incentive theory’ within his philosophy of ‘radical behaviourism’. Furthermore a stated by Education.com, (2015) that we often see students’ motivation reflected by their personal time invested as well as cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement in school activities, this belief signifies that an individual’s actions always have social consequences. If actions are positively acknowledged , people are inclined to continue to act in this manner however , if negatively accepted , this behaviour is less likely to repeated

    Inclusion BC (2012) states that ‘for inclusion to be successful, teaching assistants must have a strong belief that everyone belongs’. The writer strongly supports the statement as she personally feels that teaching assistants should have a strong faith that every student is belong to the same institution especially students with SEN and Disability have their place under the normal mainstream setting in a school. Teaching Assistants play the primary role in promoting inclusion in a classroom by supporting individual pupils with special needs, whole class or even groups within a class (Crownshaw, 2013). According to BLS (2012), a teaching assistant plays several roles to support inclusion in an institution such as providing extra assistance to students with special educational needs, assisting children individually or in small groups to reinforce learning concepts presented by teachers and observing students' performance, and record relevant data to assess progress.…

    The most important factor in supporting positive classroom behaviours is to create a classroom that makes a student feel safe physically and emotionally. The brains of students are in the process of developing neural networks and can be moulded by the environment that they are in (Rossouw, 2014). In my classroom, I want students to feel calm through consistent student teacher interactions and encouraging students to develop their love of learning, without fear-based learning strategies. Creating a safe environment connects to AITSL (2011) standard 4.4 which is to ‘manage student safety’ and it is through the efforts of teachers that an environment can be created to be safe for students. Rossouw (2014), stressed the importance of implementing…

    Respecting one another will be an expectation in my classroom and there will be no tolerance for being disrespectful. I view students as equals because they are at school to gain an education and just like I expect them to listen and respect me I will do the same for them. They will learn better and listen if I demonstrate that I care for their best interest in learning. I do not believe that establishing a democratic classroom and giving students responsibility is letting them take over the classroom because students will have their own opinion, they are all unique individuals who not only learn differently but have a different way of thinking and allowing them to have a say in their own learning is not letting them control the classroom. It is the teacher’s responsibility to set rules and expectations in the classroom and control students who are repeating bad…
