Just as my philosophy of teaching is simple, I plan to keep my classroom management short and fun. The first thing to establish in the classroom are the rules. I plan on having the students come up with five rules that will maintain a safe, respectful, and fun environment. Why have the students create the rules? Number one reason is because it makes them feel important. Giving them some power will make them have more responsibility in regards to following the rules; it will also get them familiar with the rules because they will have created them. Second, as a teacher, I will need to find out ways to get the students’ attention. I believe yelling and giving punishments to the students for misbehaving is an outdated and negative technique. Getting the attention of the students without distracting the classroom will not only save me time but will also let the students know that I care about them. If the students know that I care about them, I will be able to get their maximum learning potential.
