Classroom Management Plan

Professionalism

One of my main goals as a future educator is to shape professionalism in my classroom. It is my goal to be professional with students, their families, other educators, and administrators in the organizations within which I will work. I aim to be professional by giving all students a chance regardless of their individual characteristics and backgrounds. I aim to teach all students with the belief that they can learn. I will take the time to understand every student’s individual needs and concerns. I want to create an environment where students with special needs can achieve academic competencies like the rest of the classroom. I will communicate effectively and with a lot of care so that all students are involved. Most importantly, I will create an environment that supports individual and collaborative learning. When students desire to learn, they will find the resources they need to do so. I believe that learning takes place beyond the classroom. That is why my professionalism considers the importance of involving families in student learning. I will engage students’ families in conversation and decision-making so that they can have an impact on the students’ learning at home. In doing so, I want to use communication strategies that encourage parents from diverse backgrounds to be involved in their students’ learning processes.

Student Engagement Strategies

Student engagement relates directly to their motivation and, hence, success in the classroom. In my future classroom, I plan on using different student engagement strategies to encourage personal interest in learning and self-motivation to achieve success within and outside the classroom. Engagement also fosters social interaction, which is critical to child learning and development (Axelson & Flick, 2010). The participation in the classroom that is caused by student engagement encourages the students to learn together and develop their social interactions.

There are different strategies that can be used to foster an environment of student engagement. One of these strategies is connecting learning to the real world. When the class content is relatable, the students are excited to share more about their lives and how they relate to what they are learning (Parsons & Taylor, 2011). Additionally, engagement can be encouraged by using teamwork and collaboration strategies in the classroom. Encouraging students to work together in teams enhances their ability to contribute to content in an environment that makes them comfortable (Barkley & Major, 2020). There are also some modern strategies that can be used to encourage engagement, such as video games and video assignments for students. In my future role as an educator, I will be using these other strategies to encourage engagement among the students.

Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is centered on the idea of diversity. I believe that no student is exactly the same as another. Children have different personalities, learning abilities, social backgrounds, demographic characteristics, and many other factors that affect their learning. I believe that regardless of the students’ characteristics, they have the ability to learn. The only difference is that some will learn faster than others, and some may need some modifications to learn effectively. I believe that understanding the diversity in the classroom is an important part of classroom management. Identifying the needs of each student helps to design strategies for teaching and behavior control that best fit the characteristics of each student (Grand Canyon University). This approach also gives every student the opportunity to learn regardless of their differences.
