Mrs. Brown’s Classroom Management Plan

To ensure that each child has a pleasant, positive learning experience, a classroom management plan has been developed. I believe a solid classroom management plan is one of the most important tools to be implemented in an elementary classroom. There are several areas that I feel are necessary to cover when planning how my classroom will be managed. This plan will help ensure control in the learning environment.

Setting and Maintaining Realistic Classroom Guidelines
• The room will have two major components, in which all rules are included:

1. Be Responsible 2. Be Respectful- This means for you and for others.

• Students will be involved in creating the rules and consequences at the start of the year.
• Be consistent in reminding the students of the guidelines, and enforcing the rules.


Classroom Rules:
• Follow directions and procedures
• Raise your hand to speak and wait to be called on
• Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself
• Teasing, name calling, or unkind words are not allowed
• Stay in your seat during instruction
Our classroom community is asked to politely remind each other of these guidelines. Infractions of the rules or procedures are often used as “teachable moments.” In the case in which these guidelines are not followed, the following consequences will take place.

Consequences
1. First time - Student receives “Warning” slip to place on desk as a reminder to follow the rules and turns pocket chart card from green to yellow.
2. Second time –Child turns card from yellow to red and goes to “Time Out.” On a “Think Sheet” child writes the problem behavior, what behavior should be displayed, what they will do next time, and whether they are willing to do it.
3. Third time – Child turns card from red to double red, goes to “Time Out” again, and completes “Think Sheet” with behavior ticket attached to be signed by a parent.
4. Fourth time - If poor behavior persists, student will be removed, supplementary work done in another class and conference with student and guardian.
*At recess time, teacher looks to the pocket charts for red to see who must sit at the fence for recess.
SEVERE DISRUPTION - child is sent to the Principal, parents called, “Think Sheet” and Discipline Ticket attached.

Positive Reinforcement and Encouragement
• Positive reinforcement helps students develop acceptable behavior.
• The goal is to help students become self-controlled, self-reliant, and self-directed.
• When praised and encouraged, students become more cooperative, well behaved, and self-confident.
Each day is a new beginning. When the children are "caught being good," there will be various individual or group rewards given from the class treasure box such as stickers, pencils, “no homework” coupons, computer game time, special privileges, a group game, use of the radio or an afternoon snack.
