Classroom Management Plan Reflection

Creating a tangible classroom management plan can be crucial in students learning. The

environment of a kindergarten classroom influences the behavior of the children. An effective

classroom management plan can be essential for students to establish how to act or respond,

routines and procedures, and to develop emotionally, socially, and academically. The

environment of a classroom should allow for students to feel safe, supported, cared for, and

inspired. The environment should also create the feeling of being risk-free, having open

discussion, and open communication between student and teacher.

I learned through my student teaching to put my beliefs into action. When I showed my

students respect, cared for them, stated what was expected of them and what I believe they could

achieve, I could see a difference in their performance. As the students became more comfortable

with me throughout each day of teaching, this was displayed in their behavior and classwork. At

the beginning of the day, my cooperating teacher had a chart displayed on the smart board. This

list outlined what the students were doing for the day, what day it is (day 1, day 2…) and a

positive affirmation for each day. This could be “Treat others the way you want to be treated” or

“I can do hard things.” When the students see what their day will consist of, allows them to

become prepared to learn. This is something I plan to implement into my future classroom.

With the students coming back into the classroom from being on virtual, they had

forgotten a few classroom procedures. The cooperating teacher discussed what she expected with

classroom procedures and behaviors however, throughout the week she became lenient. I noticed

that the students realized that the classroom environment had become more laid back. Students

would get up in the middle of a lesson to sharpen a pencil, use the restroom, or come up and ask
questions while I am teaching. This is something I would not deem acceptable in my future

classroom. When students are walking around the classroom, this becomes exceptionally

distracting to many students and myself while teaching. I would be sure to establish class rules

and procedures for each of those instances. A few times, I would take it upon myself to remind

the students to stay seated, raise your hand, and wait to be called upon. However, I did realize

that this may have been an adjustment for students coming back from learning virtually. Overall,

my placement classroom ran smoothly with only a few things I would choose to do differently

when I have my own classroom.

I will begin teaching procedures and rules through explicit explanation and student

demonstration. Procedures for the classroom will be selected by assessing what will be the most

effective. Procedures will coincide with the chosen class rules, disciplinary plan, and what will

reinforce a functional classroom environment. These procedures will be reinforced throughout

the school year in order to maintain consistency and order within the classroom. These

procedures will be re-discussed after holidays, school breaks, and whenever students seem to not

be following said procedures. A productive classroom reflects in the teacher’s procedures and

classroom rules. These are subject to change throughout the year to better fit the student’s

behaviors, arrangements, and so forth. I plan to be flexible to change.
