My Classroom 
Management Philosophy

I believe in order to have a successful classroom, I need to establish rules and expectations right from the start of the school year. By making it clear to students what the expectations are when they step foot into my classroom, that I will have less behaviour problems and students will have no surprises. These rules and expectations could be done collaboratively with the students and we could hang them on the wall as a constant reminder.

​

I also believe establishing relationships is extremely important in backing up my rules and expectations, they will together, be the backbone of the classroom culture I wish to aim for. In addition to setting out rules and expectations, I will designate specific areas of my classroom to make it clear to students where they can find important dates as well as where they can hand in work. These organization tactics will aid in keeping my classroom neat and tidy as well as keep students on top of their work, because they will know exactly what dates that their work is due and where to hand it in.

 

Lastly, one of my most important values in managing my classroom is to model to students the expectations I have of them. This modelling will include respectful and welcoming behaviour as well as completing work in a timely manner.
