Classroom Management Plan
Community
In a positive classroom community, students feel respected, supported, and included. It fosters a sense of belonging and collaboration among students. Classroom community is important to students because it creates a safe and conducive environment for learning, encourages participation, and enhances social and emotional development. To build a classroom community, I will incorporate aspects of Dewey’s theory of experimentalism, Vygotsky’s emphasis on social factors in learning, and Piaget’s recognition of individual cognitive development (Karpov, 2020; Latasha, 2020; Pakpahan & Saragih, 2020). This means incorporating hands-on activities that leverage students’ experiences, encouraging collaboration and problem-solving, and adjusting teaching strategies based on students’ cognitive abilities and developmental stages.
Activities
Classroom activities will include a mix of whole-group instruction and collaborative learning experiences to cater to different learning styles and preferences. Drawing from Dewey’s emphasis on experiential learning and Vygotsky’s focus on social interaction, activities will be designed to allow students to express themselves creatively and engage actively in the learning process (Taber, 2020; Ye & Shih, 2021). To ensure engaging activities, I will regularly assess student interests, provide choices whenever possible, and incorporate elements of inquiry-based learning, problem-solving tasks, and project-based activities. Feedback from students will also be solicited to continually refine and improve activity planning.
Seating
The classroom environment will be flexible and adaptable to accommodate various teaching and learning activities, including whole-group discussions, small-group collaborations, and individual work. Students will have some choice in their seating arrangements to accommodate their preferences and optimize their learning experiences. Flexible seating options such as movable chairs, bean bags, standing desks, and floor cushions will be provided to support comfort and engagement during class activities.

| Community | What does a positive classroom community look like? Why is classroom community important to students? What steps will you as the teacher take to intentionally build classroom community? |
| Activities | What sort of activities will you plan for your classroom? Are these activities whole group instruction or more collaborative learning experiences?? How will you allow students to express themselves and be creative through the activities you plan? How will you ensure that you will always thoughtfully plan engaging activities with opportunities for creative thinking and learning?? |
| Seating | At this point, you’ve talked a bit about the typical classroom activities that will take place. What will your classroom look like to accommodate this type of teaching and learning??? Will students have a choice in their type of seating? Please provide a nicely organized seating chart/graphic that depicts seating and any major “zones” in your classroom. |
