Classroom Management Plan 3
Personal Statement/Philosophy
My personal philosophy is a mix of a few different philosophies that
we learned about this semester. However, I believe that I lean toward
Canter’s Assertive Discipline model the most. The main idea of Assertive
Discipline is that teachers have expectations at how their students
should act in the classroom and that there are explicit rules and
consequences to these rules set in place in the classroom. Consistency is
key when it comes to any and all classroom management plans. Students
have to be made aware of the rules and expectations and the
consequences that accompany these rules.
Classroom Rules
My classroom rules will be created by me but will become a
classroom contract that will be signed on the first day of school by each
of the students in my class. I will already have the rules written on a large
piece of paper and have it hanging up in the classroom where everyone
will be able to see it. I will then go over the classroom rules explicitly on
the first day of school. Once I go over the rules in class, I will then have
the students sign the bottom of the poster that will be hanging up on the
wall saying that they agree to my classroom rules.
During morning meeting time, I will go over the classroom rules with
my students. I will use a pointer to point to each of the rules and then
have the students to repeat after each rule that I say.

Classroom Procedures
Daily Schedule. Every morning the daily agenda will be written or
posted up on the board so that the students will know what we will
be doing during that school day. During our morning meeting, we
will be going over our daily agenda. They will be able to see the
pictures and know what is on the agenda next if they can’t quite
read yet.

Classroom Management Plan 7
Turn In Work. I will have a turn in box for when the students
complete any work at school. I will have a separate turn in box for
homework done at home. The students will be told that when they
are finished with something, they should turn it into the box.

in-morning-work.jpg
Raise Your Hand. When students need my help, they will do one of
two things: either come up to my desk or raise their hand. If I am
walking around, helping students, then students should raise their
hands so that I can come and help them on their work. If I am
sitting down at my desk, grading or something, then they should
come up to my desk and I will help them with their work.

Hand-Classroom-Rules-Poster-Boy-1880801-1459512037/original-1880801-1.jpg
Getting the Students’ Attention. Over the course of the year, I will
use many different strategies to get the attention of the students.
One of these strategies will be using a clapping pattern and having
the students echo the clap pattern back at me. Another strategy
that I will use to get their attention will be to say, “Macaroni and
Cheese” and the students will respond with “Everybody Freeze”.
One other strategy that I will use is counting down from 5. One
other way to get the student’s attention is 1,2, Eyes on Me. The
teacher will say, “1,2, Eyes on Me” and the students will reply, “1,2,
Eyes on You” and all eyes will be on the teacher as they say this. I
will utilize different strategies and see which work best with my
students.
Transition Time. When it is transition time, I will allow 5 minutes for
the students to put up the materials that they no longer need and
to grab the materials that they will need for the next activity. I will
allow talking during this time if, after the 5 minutes are up, the
students are sitting in their assigned seats, waiting for further
instructions.

Birthday Celebrations
o All birthdays will be celebrated in the classroom. If a child’s
birthday falls on the weekend, we will celebrate the birthday
on the Friday before or the Monday after. If the student’s
birthday falls in the summer, we will celebrate the child’s
birthday before school ends for the summer.

student in order to celebrate.
o All students will receive a small special gift from me on their
special day.
o All students will be encouraged to bring a birthday treat in on
the day of their birthday to celebrate with the whole class.

treat and then everyone else will be able to eat their treat.
Substitute Teachers

is located on the shelf beside the teacher’s desk. This binder
will contain emergency lesson plans for guest teachers with
explicit instructions and a daily schedule.

Conferences
o 2 weeks before parent-teacher conferences, I will send out a
letter and an email to all parents to inform them of the days
and times that conferences are being held. I will also include a
sign-up sheet in the letter and email so that the parents can
sign up for a time and day that works for them. I will be willing
Classroom Management Plan 19
This way, even before the school year begins, both the child
and their parents will feel like they know me when I meet
them for the first time.
o I will send home weekly newsletters to keep the parents
informed of the goings-on of the classroom.
o I will email and call home when needed. Not only about bad
things but about good things as well.
o I will have parents fill out a questionnaire about their student
so that I have a better knowledge base regarding their child.
o Daily folders and Friday folders will be sent home and will also
be a way to stay in contact with me regarding their child and
any comments or concerns that they may have.
o I will keep a daily communication log and keep track of all
forms of communication that I have between the parents of
each student.
Classroom Management Plan 21
Community Building
I want my future classroom to have a positive learning environment
and one way to do this is start building a classroom community the very
first day of school. By building community in my classroom, my students
will be able to get to know each other and develop meaningful
relationships with their peers and with me, their teacher. Also by building
a sense of community in the classroom, the students will be able to
realize that my classroom is a safe environment where they can just be
themselves. When there is a strong sense of community in the classroom,
learning thrives and therefore the students thrive in their academics and
their social relationships with their peers and with me. The following are
some different ways of promoting a strong sense of community in the
classroom.
https://fwsu.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/dsc_0094.jpg
Student of the week. Every week there will be a different student
of the week. They will be the line leader for the week and will get
to be my helper throughout the week. They will get to do a Show
and Tell on the Monday of their week. They will have a special seat
in the classroom and get to wear a special necklace that says, “Miss
Hedrick’s Student of the Week”.
Show and Tell. Each week, on Monday, the student of the week will
be able to bring in item(s) that represent themselves to share with
the class. This will encourage community building and helps the
students get to know one another throughout the year.
Birthdays. Birthdays will be habitually celebrated in my classroom.
Every month we will celebrate the birthdays of the students. We
will celebrate birthdays that fall on the weekends the Friday before
or the Monday after, and celebrate birthdays that fall in the
summer at the end of the school year. Each child will be able to
bring in treats from home to share with the class to celebrate their
special day. They will also receive a small birthday gift from me on
their special day.
Classroom jobs. By letting each student have a classroom job, they
will not only learn responsibility but it will also help to build a
positive learning community. These jobs are ways to help keep the
classroom looking nice and will help the classroom run more
Classroom Management Plan 23
smoothly. Jobs will change monthly and will be rotated through the
students. Some of the jobs that will be included are: Line Leader,
Door holder, Paper Passer, Board Eraser, Table Cleaner and Trash
Collector. (this is not an exhaustive list of classroom jobs).
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/563935184569574549/
Name Games. On the first day of school, I plan on playing the name
game with my new students. I will have everyone stand in a circle in
the room and we will go around and everyone will say their names. I
will also ask that each child does a dance move while saying their
name. This will be a fun way to learn the names of their peers and
the students will be able to build a good rapport with their peers.
As the teacher, this will help me to learn the students’ names and
encourage a positive learning community to begin to bloom.
Displaying student work is another method of building a classroom
community. I will have a bulletin board set up where I can display
Classroom Management Plan 24
student work. This will show all the hard work that the students
are doing in my class and showcase what they have been learning.
Students will be able to praise one another, building their peer
relationships, and building strong community ties within my
classroom.
http://ilovemyclassroom.blogspot.com/2013/11/tried-it-tuesday-and-helpful-hints.html
Brain Breaks. I will be using GoNoodle in my classroom as a way to
get my students to participate in the classroom. Other YouTube
videos will be used to provide my students with small, fun breaks
that allow them to be silly. This will help to build a positive
community because it will show that we all can have fun and be silly
together and not be judged or laughed at.
Classroom DoJo. I will be using Class DoJo points in my classroom.
I will be monitoring the students and will award points for good
behavior and take points away for misbehaving. I will be able to
award whole class points along with individual points and this will

Samples/Visuals
Clip Chart. I will be using a clip chart in my classroom along with
DoJo to monitor the students’ behavior on a daily basis. I will
have each students’ name on a clothespin and each morning they
will all start out on the green “ready to learn” chart. As good
behavior is shown, students will be clipped up and as bad
behavior is shown, students will be clipped down. Here is an
example of a clip chart that I might have in my classroom.

ssroom.jpg
Daily Take Home Folders. Each night, the students will take
home their daily take home folders. These folders will contain
their homework and their daily behavior charts. I will write their
number that they were on each day on their chart each day.
These folders will come back with the student each day and will
be sent home every night. Here is an example of a daily take
home folder that I will be using in my classroom.

Evaluation
I realize that not everyone will agree that my classroom management
plan is a success. After a few weeks of using my classroom
management plan, I plan on going back over it and reflecting on it to
see what I need to change for it to work better in my classroom. I will
determine what is working great and leave those parts of the plan
alone and I will tweak and modify the other parts that are not working
as well based on the needs of the students. I value feedback so I want
to have a way for students, parents and administrators to voice their
opinions about my management style and any suggestions that they
might have.
For students, I will know that my rules and clip chart are working if
they are following the rules and responding to the rewards and
punishments that I have in my classroom. Also, I want to set up a small
box that will set on my desk, which will be labeled as “Suggestions,
Comments, Concerns”. I will provide scrap pieces of paper and pencils
for the students to be able to write down their feelings regarding my
classroom management plan. I will then take into consideration their
suggestions when trying to re-evaluate my classroom management plan.
For parents, I will be sending home a weekly newsletter that always
has my contact information at the bottom so that they can voice their
concerns regarding my classroom to me personally. I will have my
school email, my personal email, my home phone number and my school
phone number listed on the weekly newsletter, so that parents will
have a multitude of ways to reach me and voice their opinions.
For administrators, I will reach out in the first few weeks of school
and ask to be observed. I would like to get constructive feedback
from my principal on how my classroom management style is and if it
seems to be working. I will also reach out to my fellow teachers in my
school building and ask for opinions, feedback and suggestions on
improving my plan. I understand that my management plan is a work in
progress and can always be worked on and improved on and I will
treasure any input anyone gives me.
