    McKel Gurney outlines a comprehensive classroom management plan in three parts: preventative techniques, supportive techniques, and intervention techniques. Preventative techniques include establishing clear rules, building community through activities like sportsmanship PE and community circles, and assigning class jobs. Supportive techniques focus on actively supervising students, praising good behavior, and maintaining routines. Intervention techniques involve one-on-one conversations, consequences for misbehavior, behavior contracts, and communicating with parents through planners, newsletters, and a class website. The plan aims to create a safe, engaging learning environment where students learn life skills like responsibility and teamwork.

    Management Plan
    EDU 5310
    By: McKel Gurney

    Preamble
    When it comes to a classroom management plan there is not
    a correct answer or one way to have management in the classroom.
    Classroom management is constantly changing and certain plans
    work with some students and some dont. However, it is crucial to
    have a plan set in place so that your students know where you
    stand and that you are consistent. When teachers have good
    management they are creating a safe environment for students.
    This allows students the freedom to learn and to take risks. Along
    the lines of a safe environment students need to know that the
    teacher cares about them and that the teacher knows their
    students. It is also important that you, as the teacher, follow to who
    you are and also what to what you do (Smith, 2004, pg 7).
    Teachers want to teach their students. Often times teachers
    get so caught up in teaching the common core when it is also
    important to teach students life skills. When management is in
    place, students are learning real life skills. They are learning about
    discipline. Students are also learning the valuable skill of a
    democracy. Having a classroom management plan in place has so
    many benefits and is crucial to have a successful learning
    environment. Therefore, creating a classroom management plan will
    make your job as a teacher easier in the long run.

    Preventative Techniques
    Classroom Rules
    1. Be Respectful
    2. Be Responsible
    3. Be Safe
    Building Community/Team Building
    Sportsmanship PE (SPE) This enjoyable behavioral method is
    key for a positive classroom. SPE teaches students many life skills
    that can be used throughout life. During SPE they learn about being
    respectful and kind to one another. Expressing positivity towards
    others is key. Each day they will have the opportunity to play a
    game as a class and have to work together and any negative
    comments will result in elimination of the fun time and students
    have to go back to the classroom and get back to work. Other skills
    students learn about during SPE are leadership, intrinsic motivation,
    and inclusion of others. All of these contribute to a positive
    classroom community.
    Community Circle - Each morning as a class we will meet and talk
    about events happening in the news and in our school. We will talk
    about good news happening in each other lives. We will play teambuilding games some mornings or read picture books and determine
    the theme of the story. This is a way to start our day off right.
    Class Jobs
    Throughout the year, jobs will change every two months. Students
    will create resumes as well as fill out job applications for the jobs
    they would like. When students have a role in the classroom they
    tend to be more engaged. Also, students strive to be on their best
    behavior so they can become the class president. They also are paid

    every week for their job. The website we will use as a class is
    www.mykidsbank.org.
    Students will also understand our classroom rules through paying
    rent for their desks. Also, if they need another pencil it is a price
    they will have to pay for one. All of these items teach the students
    responsibility, respect, and of course being safe.

    Class President Student who follows directions


    and is a good example to the rest of the class.
    Ambassador Takes over if president is not there.
    Also, welcomes new students to class and fills
    them in on all the classroom rules and procedures.
    Library Aides Takes books down to library, cleans
    up classroom library daily.
    Lunchroom Aides Cleans up table when finished
    eating lunch.
    Banking Specialist Every Friday they enter in
    paychecks and additional money given out. Helps
    other students with banking.
    Attendance Helpers pass out tickets each day for
    our attendance incentives.
    Technology Specialist student will help substitute
    work technology. Student turns on and off lights.
    Custodian Every Friday takes garbages to the
    door. Also, empties recycling bin.
    Paper Passers Students that will pass out papers
    at the end of the day.

    Engaging Curriculum
    In this day and age it is crucial that students are engaged in
    learning with all the testing and push for college attendance.
    Therefore, in our classroom it will be key to have students moving
    around and analyzing their own work. There will be a lot of
    integration of subjects to allow students of every kind to understand
    the curriculum. Along these lines, students will be required to think
    deeper and more critically about subjects and help teach other
    students along the way.
    Classroom Arrangement
    Students will often be in groups of four or five students. This allows
    for collaborative learning. It is important that students learn the

    skills of working with others throughout the year. Therefore, being in


    tables allows for this collaborative learning to happen. However, if
    students cannot handle being in tables we will change their desks
    into rows until they have learned when the right time to talk is.

    Supportive Techniques

    Circulating Classroom making sure students are on task

    Divide side conversations stepping between


    conversations students are having during instructional time

    Proximity allowing the lesson to move more freely without


    taking breaks to address misbehavior

    Task breakdown letting students know how long on they


    have to work on specific tasks

    Body Language showing confidence and excitement

    Praising Behavior Look for students on task and praise


    with a lot of enthusiasm (1:3 Ratio for everyone one
    misbehavior, praise three)

    Routines - Staying consistent!

    Intervention Techniques
    One-on-One Conversations
    Throughout the year, I will have individual meetings with my
    students to get to know them better. However, if we have issues
    that arise I will make sure to have one-on-one conversations with
    my students. These conversations will let the student express freely
    what is happening and in which ways we can fix the issues. Also,
    these conversations show the student you care and want what is
    best for the student.
    Consequences
    1.

    4.

    One warning
    Fine
    Stop and Think Desk
    Call Home

    Contracts
    Contracts will be created if a student has a continual behavior
    problem. We will discuss many options for this child and positive and
    negative consequences for him or her. This contract will also be

    communicated with guardian at home (preferably at parent teacher


    conference).

    Communication with Parents


    Planners
    Every student fills out his or her planners at the end of the day. They
    take the planner home for their parent/guardian to sign. This allows
    parents to know what homework needs to be completed and what is
    happening in the classroom.

    parents/guardians of events coming up in the next month. It also
    informs them of what is being taught and learned in the classroom.

    Our class website will have all the information we are currently
    learning about. It will have links for games that children can play

    that are educational. There will be a calendar with all the homework
    assignments on it for students who lose or need an additional copy.
