My Classroom Management Philosophy
lassroom management philosophy
Introduction
For any education setting to achieve its goal, classroom management must be put in practice. Classroom management is the process that schools and teachers create and maintain the appropriate behavior of students in a classroom setup. The main aim of implementing the management strategies being to improve students’ academic engagement (Emmer Sabornie, 2015). About Alfie Kohn theory, an ideal classroom is the one that curiosity and cooperation are emphasized above everything else. Alfie argues that student's interest should act as a governor to what is taught in class. Also, Kohn states that if cooperation in mind is used to run a classroom, and students curiosity is also nurtured, students will not work inappropriately and hence rewards or punishments will be essential ( Kohn, 2004) philosophical statement My commitment is focused making my classroom a safe environment and a challenging one. It is my goal to make my classroom an environment which is safe and demanding. Furthermore am committed to the students through the syllabus and also …show more content…
socializing with them to understand them one on one. It is my duty to motivate to participate in class and learn from each other as well from me. Fairness is what I am struggling to practice so that the students can trust me. Also, an equitable classroom and one that is democratic is all that I want so that my learners can be able to study. It is my joy that I maintain a calm attitude with the class. It is my desire that they feel comfortable asking questions about anything while in class, even if it means asking about me. I question the learners of their life outside the school walls, and they answer comfortably because they have a feeling that someone minds them. From my personal view, I perceive that my attitude for the class is not authoritative. I believe in giving my students the freedom to do what they like. Without forcing them to do anything, students can be part of their learning ( Kohn, 2004). I believe that when students discover that they are involved in the learning process, they will get even more motivated and participate in class and as a result, learn.
Classroom expectations and rules. The best rule for my class is that where we respect each other, with that other rules are insignificant. I believe having respect for my students and encouraging them to comply with each other can lead to a learning environment that is safe where learning can take place (Osula & Ideboen, 2010). I would mind not in cases where students clothe in clothes that cause less or no disturbance to the learning process. I would treat this as an old rule, and as long as the clothes do not raise attention, then the learners are free to wear. If the behaviors in the class are out of control, I may recommend creating a classroom institution.
I prefer students make their rules and discuss with their colleges, this would lead learners to follow the rules and also fail to fight against the consequences implemented. I would also include parents by sending copies for them to sign for them to be part of the classroom proceedings. In order to understand what is working and what is not I would implement class meeting, they would form good grounds to discuss classroom issues and school issues at large. I would suggest them to be treated as open forums for sharing ideas and giving suggestions. I think these dialogues would be vital in creating an environment where learners feel autonomous and fully controlling their learning. I want to form a forum where students can respect their race, language, and culture (Chen and Yang
2017).
Classroom routines. Concerning classroom routines I want to be consistent with my students, this can be achieved by having an assignment on the chalkboard that they have it in their notebooks each day as they reside in their homes. I will collect the books twice a week for grading, and this will help students do all their work in their notebooks. To verify the validity of an assignment, I will stamp the learner's books. About my professor, who claims that homework is a distinction between the "haves" and the "have not." I consider this to be a clear line since my class there is a group of who doesn't do their work, those who does and others who even have tutors to help. On classroom attendance I would grade on; homework, class attendance, group participation, tests and also quizzes.
Strategy to manage routine behavior Concerning Bill Rogers commonly known as Mr. Rogers, dealing with students requires logical and humane approach. They need systematic methods and techniques to manage, prevent and correct. To be a teacher requires control of personal behavior while handling students. This means that you do not have to be a strict disciplinarian. There is a need to distinguish responsibilities and rights and how to balance the two. Learners have the right to feel secure or safe they need to be respected to establish a learning environment. Also talking over noise is not a way of solving issues. There is a need to develop attention. For example, if a teacher gets into a class and finds students making noise. It would be unwise to shout to them. His or her presence is enough to make the noise quit. The teacher's behavior is the key determiner of the student's reaction.
How the classroom supports emotionally safe environment that fosters learning and deals effectively with emotions, conflicts, and serious behavior problems. Rather than concentrating on misbehavior in the classroom, we value focusing on the right attitude and behavior. Focusing on parents’ involvement in the school programs will help students’ feel safe, hence enhancing learning. Rewards are also a better way of fighting emotions when rewards are withdrawn; people tend to move back to their previous actions (Kohn, 1994). Also, encouraging students for the tasks that they have completed works effectively.
