Classroom

Management plan
By Anusha Dadwani
 This is my classroom plan which will showcase how I
would like to set up my classroom; what first day
activities I would introduce, what rules and procedures
the class would have, how the discipline system is going
to work (rewards and consequences), and what I would
Introducti do for student engagement and build up motivation. This
classroom management plan is going to be practicable for
pre-k to 2nd grade, so the classroom will be self-
on contained. This plan will help me prepare for when I have
my own classroom and I have to make sure I have the
class set up to function suitably. It will be a guideline
from which I can set up the classroom and also a way for
me to efficiently be able to manage the daily tasks that
comes with being a teacher.
 My beliefs about classroom management are that the class should
be inviting, safe, where students and teachers are a team and they
work together to build a successful class. It should be a place
where students feel comfortable enough to be able to share their
thoughts and feelings without feeling that they are going to be
judged. I want my classroom to be a place where students enjoy
the learning process and are also able to take ownership of their
learning. I want my students to be excited to come to class and

Philosophic learn. My philosophy for teaching is that to be able to incorporate

different learning styles to the lesson plan and to the class to
ensure all my students are able to reach their goal to grow and

al learn. I want my lessons to be set up in a way that meets the needs

of all learners. I would like to have a class where equity is more
important in terms of meeting the needs of the students. I believe

statement that a classroom should be a place where students get the

resources that they need in order to become successful learners.
My approach towards teaching and classroom management is to be
able to intrinsically motivate my students to monitor their own
behavior and perform in a manner that is desired in the classroom.
I want to ensure that my students are enjoying, learning, and being
involved so much in the classroom that they barely have time to
deviate from the preferred conduct.

Transition Break
 Every transition the students
get one GO NOODLE/ JUST
Dance song to take a break
from learning. Once the
transition is over the students
get to move on to the next
lesson. This is a great way to
take a break from the lesson
and make the classroom an
exciting place.

 Discipline System
Class Dojo – is a good way to give rewards and
consequences. This way students can get points
for good behavior and points are taken away for
undesired behavior. It is an also a good way to
communicate with parents and they can monitor
student's behavior.

points gets to be STAR STUDENT OF THE MONTH”
