Definition of Classroom Management: 

Definition of Classroom Management Classroom management encapsulates any rules, regulations, procedures, consequences, and rewards that are necessary to create a positive learning environment for my students.

Philosophy of Classroom Management: 

Philosophy of Classroom Management Discipline becomes necessary when the positive learning environment is disrupted. Rules, regulations, procedures, and rewards should be designed to make keeping that environment in the best interest of my students.

The Positive Learning Environment :

Entering the Classroom: 

Entering the Classroom Please enter quietly and find your seat. Complete today’s Daily Oral Language. Once finished DOL, you can either write in your journal or read while you wait for Mr. Elias to begin class.

Tardy Policy: 

Tardy Policy A student is tardy if he/she is not in his/her seat when the bell rings. If you are late, it is your responsibility to enter the classroom quietly and take your appropriate seat. Join your classmates in paying attention to today’s lesson. If you are late, you will immediately receive a detention with Mr. Elias. Failure to follow the above procedure will result in further consequences.

Collecting Homework All homework will be collected during Daily Oral Language. If homework is not passed in during this time, it will be considered late. You lose one letter grade (8 points) for each day homework is late. After one week’s time, you cannot receive higher than a 50% on any assignment.
