Classroom Management Plan

Ms. Aguilar

My Philosophy
My classroom philosophy and goal is to treat every student as an individual and to modify and
adjust to the needs of each student. Each student is different and may require different types of
rewards or different types of consequences. I want to be aware of all my students needs and help
them to be successful by supporting them in whatever way is best for them.
Why Classroom Management?
Having classroom management is extremely important for an educator to have a successful
learning environment for their students. First the teacher will need to create an effective learning
environment where students feel safe. I plan to have a community in my classroom where
students always feel safe and have a place where they can learn. Students are not able to be
challenged or learn without having this kind of environment.
General Rules
1. Be Respectful
a. Use kind and friendly words
b. Actively participate

The behavior chart will be used for the students to monitor their own behavior. It will give them
a sense of responsibility for themselves and a choice on how they want to the day to go if they do
have to change their color. The students will be able to see that even if you do get moved to a
warning you can always fix your behavior and go back to making good choice. My main goal
with the behavior chart is to help my students become responsible for their actions and monitor
their own behavior.
Agendas:
My students write in their agendas every day, the agendas go hand and hand with the rule of
being responsible. Students are expected to write their homework assignments in their agendas at
the beginning of the day and get it signed by a parent each night. If students receive a
consequence during the day it is noted in their agenda for their parents to see along with the
consequence that they received. This is an important form of communication between the
classroom and the students home. It also keeps the parents informed of their childs behavior for
each day. The agenda will also be used in positive ways as well, students can receive a positive
note home for their parents to see for going above and beyond the teachers expectations.
