Presentation Transcript

My Classroom Management Plan: 

My Classroom Management Plan Totally Rewritten (almost!) -Austin Anderson Note: Teal color text indicates ideas from last year; there have been considerable refinements for the sake of sanity.

Definition of Classroom Management: 

Definition of Classroom Management Everything a teacher does to maintain an environment where positive learning happens instead of unnecessary distractions

The Positive Learning Environment: 

The Positive Learning Environment From Sanctuary of Learning to… something a little more… RELAXED (but under control)

The Structure Creates Freedom Philosophy: 

The Structure Creates Freedom Philosophy Freedom to concentrate Freedom to succeed at complex tasks Freedom from worries and teasing Freedom from telling each other to “Shut up!” Freedom to learn (my strident refutation of the “I don’t want to be a dictator” fallacy)

The Minimalist Philosophy: 

The Minimalist Philosophy Less is better / KISS Selectively swimming against the current

The Big 5 of Classroom Management: 

The Big 5 of Classroom Management How and when do students speak? How do students leave their seats? How does class begin? How does class end? How and when do students leave the room? (because everything else is basically window dressing)

The Principle of Respect: 

The Principle of Respect Respect yourself. Respect each other. Respect the teacher. Respect our learning environment. Respect our time together. (almost too general to enforce)

Class Rules: 

Class Rules Have pencil and books ready when tardy bell rings, and begin working. Listen when spoken to and never interrupt the lesson. Ask permission to leave seat. No food, gum, or drinks. Show respect at all times.

Consequences: 

Consequences Warning (record on clipboard) Detention (copy paragraphs) Office Referral (Individual) Rewards Star of the Day (name on board) Student of the Week (voted by class) Wall of Excellence

My Bathroom Policy: 

My Bathroom Policy Students given passes made of colorful card stock Two per student in the beginning One more halfway through May be traded – who cares? Present restroom pass to ask permission for hall pass

My #1 Good Intention Not Followed Through On: 

My #1 Good Intention Not Followed Through On (contacting parents)

My Most Spectacular Failure Which Seems Silly Now in Retrospect:

My Most Surprising Success:
