Classroom Management Plan
Paragraph 1: Introduction and Expectations My philosophy of education is that all students
can learn. I recognize that students learn in different ways and have varying levels of proficiency.
However, I believe that the high expectations that I will have for my students will be a great asset
in my teaching career. I believe that it is important to share these expectations with both students
and parents. My students will be reminded of learning and classroom expectations by printed
representations such as posters and bulletin boards. Students will also be reminded of our
classroom philosophy and expectations through frequent conversation and discussion. Parents
will also receive monthly newsletters and frequent written communication. It is important that
both students and parents are aware of the foundational philosophical belief system of our
classroom.
Since I believe that all students can learn, my expectations will be based upon the core
standards necessary for each student to master. With this, I expect my students to leave my
classroom everyday reflecting the lessons and how they can contribute to their own learning. My
students will be focused on what is currently being learned and what is to come after. For my
classroom, my students will need personal goals and dedication to learning. I will allow time at
the beginning of the day and at the end to discuss our focus and any questions my students may
have.
Paragraph 2: Policies A policy is an expectation set for students. These policies should allow
the classroom management to excel. Some policies that I feel are important to a classroom are
come to class prepared, all materials for class should be kept in desks, classmates will not bully
one another, and the classroom rules should be followed. I will allow time within the first day to
go over these policies and give examples for each. To ensure these policies will be followed, I
will send a copy to the parents. I will also have these policies displayed in my classroom.
Paragraph 3: Procedures A procedure is an established way of doing something. These
contribute to classroom management because it gives more organization and expectations for the
year. My students will enter the class by starting on review questions from the day before. To

exit, they must explain what they learned and their favorite part of the day on exit slips. My
students will be seated in three clusters (convenient for group work and discussion) and I will
take attendance as they arrive. By the door, I will have a sign out sheet and passes to take when
they raise their hand for the bathroom or a drink. On the first day of school, I will explain these
procedures to my students. This will become a routine for each student.

Paragraph 4: Rules A rule is an expectation set for the students to achieve every day in the
classroom. Rules given in a class sets standards and prevents future discipline problems to arise.
Rules must be set for academic work and classroom conduct. These rules should be posted in the
classroom as a reminder throughout the school year. Some rules for classroom conduct include,
seating arrangements, what to do as they find their seats in the morning, leaving the classroom,
and consequences for rule violations. On the first day of class, these rules should all be
addressed. Some of these rules, such as consequences for misbehaving, should be readdressed
and reminded throughout the year. For academic rules, students should complete their
homework, makeup any missed work, know the consequences for incomplete work,
consequences for cheating, neatness, and group work.
Paragraph 5: Closure Student engagement is vital to a classroom. Students cannot fully learn
and understand material if they are not engaged. I will monitor engagement by frequently asking
questions and using exit slips. This contributes to classroom management because this ensures
my students are on task and learning.
