    Philosophy of Classroom Management

    I believe that classroom management is particularly important in a band setting because,


    depending on the size of the program, the class sizes can be very large. As a result, it’s important
    that rules, expectations, and procedures are clear from day one. Another reason why classroom
    management is so important in a band classroom setting is because students are routinely
    handling very expensive, and often delicate, equipment and instruments. To avoid damage to this
    equipment, it’s important that students are taught how to properly treat school instruments with
    care and respect.
    One of the biggest influences on my classroom management philosophy is a book written
    by author Miles Corwin titled: And Still We Rise. There’s also a great book titled These Kids are
    out of Control by Heather B. Cunningham, Erika Gold Kestenberg, Lori Delale-O'Connor, and
    H. Richard Milner. Both of these books showed me just how important it is to support the
    students of diversity in my classroom. Many teachers and schools practice either a zero-tolerance
    approach to classroom management or have an emphasis on non-compliance rules. It’s clear
    from the two aforementioned readings that these approaches disproportionately affect students of
    color. Knowing these facts will allow me to empathize and form positive connections with all of
    my students in the classroom.
    There’s another great book on classroom management, titled Teaching Hope and
    Resilience to Students Experiencing Trauma by Douglas Fisher. This book, as well as Miles
    Corwins’s previously mentioned book, opened my eyes to the power and positive influence that
    student-teacher relationships can have on behavioral issues. My number one classroom
    management strategy will always be relationship-building because I believe that it’s by far the
    most effective method out there. Having a positive relationship with a student helps to establish
    trust and a mutual respect between the student and the teacher. This ultimately leads to less
    behavioral issues in the classroom. Great teachers are able to build positive connections with all
    of their students and thus it will be my goal to do so.
