Classroom Management Plan

Classroom Management Plan
Beginning of the school day
I will greet my students every morning as they enter the classroom. They will enter
the classroom and place their backpacks, coats, and other miscellaneous items in
their locker or cubby. From there they will place parent notes, permission slips, and
homework into the designated location inside of the classroom; they will bring their
personal devices to the device box for me to lock up until the end of the school day.
Students will pass around a sign in for attendance during their morning work.
They will also make their lunch choice on this sheet as well. Once all of the present
students have signed, I will get the sheet and enter the attendance into the computer
system.
After the students have put away their things, they will begin their morning work.
They will use a weekly sheet to place their answers. This will consist of four daily
questions related to the subject area(s). Students will have around 5 minutes to
complete this before class begins. If students finish early, they may read silently.
While students are completing morning work, I will enter attendance into the
computer and gather supplies needed for my lesson. I will make sure I have extra
pencils sharpened and pull up technologies I may be using.
Routine Procedures
Students need routine procedures for multiple reasons. Routine
procedures provide children with consistency that helps with behavior issues. Also,
having proper routine procedures ensure you are getting the most out of your allotted
instructional time.
Water Fountain
Students will use the water fountain during restroom

breaks, after recess, and after gym class. Students will say
the phrase one, two, three, thats enough for me when
using the fountain to allow other students opportunity to
get a drink as well.
Classroom
Transitions
Students will have (2) designated restroom breaks

throughout the day. One before lunch and one after
lunch. Students need to adjust to these times and will only
be allowed to leave class to use the restroom for
emergencies only.
Students will lay assignments in a stack in the middle of
their groups or tables. I will collect them and place them
in their homeroom classs assignment basket. I will collect
exit slips as they hand them to me as they leave the
classroom.
Students will line up by this saying: 1, get ready. 2, stand
up. 3, push your chairs in. 4, line up quietly. Students will
then walk down the hallway in a straight single file line, at
a zero noise level, keeping hands to themselves.
Pencil
Sharpening
Students may sharpen their pencils during morning/bell

work only. No students may sharpen pencils during
instructional time. Students should be prepared and bring
two sharpened pencils to classes daily.
Asking
for Help
During seatwork, students may raise their hand if they

need assistance. During centers and cooperative groups,
the student needs to ask a partner first, then other group
members, then the teacher as a last resort.
Restroom
Turning
in Work
To teach my students the procedure for lining up, I will practice the method
several times the first week of school. I will teach this procedure to all of my classes,
repeating it everyday. Students will make a habit of this procedure from all of the
practice they will receive.
Attention Getting Procedures

I will use multiple call and response ideas to gain the attention of my students. I
will keep a list of these around or near my desk to grab when I need a new idea. A few
of these are: hocus pocuseverybody focus!, mac and cheeseattention
please, all set?...you bet!, and hands on topthat means stop!
I will also be using claps to get students attention. I will clap a rhythm and the
students will repeat it back. This may take a couple of rhythms to get full attention. This
method also incorporates music into the classroom.
Centers
I will do a centers activity once or twice within a unit. Centers will be created
based on the material students are studying at the time. I will have 4-5 centers, based
on the number of students I have in my classes.
Rotations
Time at
Each Center
Where to
Go Next
When to
Leave Center
Centers will be numbered and laid out all over the

classroom. Students will visit the centers in partners or
small groups. Groups will be assigned numbers as to
where to start, then rotate around the classroom until
they have visited each center.
Student will have 10-15 minutes at each center,
depending on the length of the class period. A
countdown will be displayed via projector so that
students know how to pace themselves.
Students will visit centers in numerical order. For example,
students staring at 1 will go to 2; students starting out at 5
will go to 1.
Students will be given a 1-minute warning for them to
clean up the centers. The timer will sound when it reaches
0, and students will rotate to the next center.
Ending of the school day
During the last 10 minutes of the school day, students will silent read or I will play
an educational video that will enhance the unit I have been teaching. This will make
the going home transition time more relaxed. By switching between reading and
videos, students dont get bored with the same daily routine and they will receive
differenciated instruction to review at the end of the day.
Students will label assignments with their name, homeroom teachers last name,
and date and the top of the right hand side of their paper. I will gather papers after
each assignment by asking students to place their papers in the middle of their group
or table. This way I can quickly walk around the room and pick up each stack and put
them in their homeroom teachers basket. This will keep all of my classes separate and
easy to grade and record.
I will call students by group or table to get their stuff to go home. Parent pick up
students may be a separate, earlier group, depending on the schools release time for
pick up and bus groups. Once they get their things, students will return to their seats
and continue end of the day activities.
If students remain at the end of they day, they will be asked to work on
homework assignments or read silently. Students may also choose to help the teacher
with classroom chores such as straightening the bookshelf or sharpening pencils. I will
also be willing to help these students on assignments if needed.
Positive Relationships with Students

The first way to develop a positive relationship with your students is to start at
home. Parental involvement is the key to student success. I will start by mailing my
students a post card towards the end of summer, and sending the parents of my
students a letter to let them know I care and want to see their child succeed. Also, I
plan on creating a classroom webpage. This will help me keep parents informed of
upcoming projects, tests, and events held in my school.
I want to be a positive influence on my students. I want to make sure I tell them
something positive everyday. In my classroom, I will not only reward perfection but
development as well. Student will receive a reward for every improvement they make;
even if that improvement is simply going from a failing score to an apprentice score.
This will give students the confidence to do more and have the self-esteem to make
even more growth in the future.
Rules
Listen to the teacher
and follow directions
and procedures at all
times
Teacher will explain directions and procedures before

every activity. Teacher will also list these directions and
procedures on the board. There should be no excuses for
students not following direction and procedures.
Be nice and say nice

things to others
Students will be encouraged to use manners and

compliment others in the classroom daily. There will be a
compliment board in the classroom If students wish to
post theirs.
Be safe at all times (no

running, no hitting, no
throwing, etc.)
This rule speaks for itself. Students should not run, hit,
throw, etc. during any point in the school day. These
types of horseplay can result in accidents and will result in
a negative consequence.
Control our selves and

our actions (no
screaming, no lying, no
cheating, no disturbing
others, etc.)
Students will be asked to raise their hand if they have a

question, comment, or concern to prevent from calling
out. Also, students will have specific procedures during
group work that will not allow them to disturb other
classmates.
Do my best
Students will be encouraged daily to participate and be

the best student they can be. Teacher will often give
positive comments to the students. This rule means
students comes into class everyday, ready to give 100%
and has a good attitude.
Consequences
Consequences vary depending on the grade level. However, warnings will
come first at any age. After the warning, a student will be reprimanded for negative
actions. In a K-2 (primary) classroom, I would opt to use the clip chart method. When
using a clip chart, the student can move their clip up or down. Moving up for good
behaviors and down for negative. Each time a student clip is moved down, they lose
time off of recess or a different privilege. A student moving their clip to the very bottom
would require a parent contact. Students will color in a calendar daily and parents
must sign and return every morning.
In grades 3-5 (elementary), I would have students use behavior charts. Students
keep their own behavior chart, and are asked to mark when making bad decisions.
The first mark will be a warning, the second mark will be full loss of recess, and the third
mark will call for a parent contact. Parents will sign the chart weekly and students will
return at the beginning of each week. If student behavior is becoming an issue, it may
be time to try a behavior contract. I have attached my classroom behavior contract
on the following page of my classroom management plan.
