Classroom management, the scariest aspect of teaching in the eyes of many teachers; yet I feel prepared and excited to embark on this journey and test my theories in a real classroom. Classroom managements means the way in which a classroom is set up; including, but not limited to, the physical set-up, the rules and guidelines, the teacher personality, and the consequences of rule breaking or misbehavior. In my opinion, the classroom is meant to be fun but have very specific strong guidelines that have consequences when those lines are crossed.
My personality is an odd mixture of strict and easy going. I know how to have a good time, but I also expect rules to be followed. I grew up in the belief that rules are

If the students know that you will not follow through on punishments, you will have to become a strict disciplinarian and a
“mean” teacher to regain control over the classroom; yet even that may not work.
This belief in maintaining control of your classroom is echoed in the theorist
Harry Wong. He agrees that it is easier to maintain good classroom behavior than to change inappropriate behavior once it has established itself in your classroom. He believes, and I agree, that the best way to accomplish this is by being clear with the students. Have a few clear rules and guidelines with consistent consequences for misbehavior; by doing this, the students become accustomed to following the rules and it cuts down on the misbehavior that you would have to deal with if you did not have rules and consistent penalties. Wong also points out that it is important to reinforce the rules and remind the students of what they are required to do in your classroom. This can be accomplished through the posting of the classroom rules and procedures as well as following through when misbehavior occurs.
Another theorist who has good ideas on how to prevent misbehavior in the classroom is Fredric Jones. Jones believes that nonverbal language is very

I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career. Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself. Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher. It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be evolving as necessary as I gain more experience and insight into the field of teaching. Also, my classroom management plan may need to be altered to fit my specific group of students.
Classroom management is the process by which teachers and schools create and maintain appropriate behavior of students in classroom settings. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students, while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. Classroom management is really hard and there are many theorists that talk about it and each is different from the other where each theorist has his/her own ideas and thoughts. Some of them are mentioned below.
This ClassDojo is an online electronic classroom management communication system, it is used to assist teachers, record, and track students’ behavior in real time by adding and subtracting points. The students are recognized with points for the following participations: been on task, helping others, participation, persistence, teamwork and working hard. The program automatically assigns fun avatars for each student. This communication system can be access and monitored by the student’s parent. I look forward to using the ClassDojo in my next classroom. I can see how this would be a great tool along with tangible rewards can helps the classroom behavior to a minimum.
A teacher in the classroom setting is considered a professional in that environment because they have the training and skills necessary by which to create a setting which is conducive to learning. To aide in the establishment of a setting which is conducive to learning the teacher must create guidelines which help to provide structure for expected behavior as well as for the dissemination of information between teacher and student. Organization and careful planning are two elements which help to
My philosophy of classroom management is to allow students to be responsible for their own behavior at all times. I believe allowing students to be responsible for their behavior and actions allow them to have a sense of freedom. When students have freedom, they seem to be more successful and respectful. Classroom management is more successful when the class is student-centered. Students should be included in the planning of classroom rules, room arrangement, and communication should flow smoothly between teacher and student. Although the class is student-centered the teacher should be in control of the classroom. The teacher should know what is going on at all times, plan interesting and informative lessons, and be
Creating an Ed Plan is one of the most important things you will do during your semesters at Columbia. I would even say that it is more important than taking the classes. The classes get you your degree, but your Ed Plan tells you what you need to take, when you need to take it and it helps you achieve your academic goals. Because your Ed Plan is so significant, you need to prepare for it. To do so, get a course catalog. The catalog helps you pick which classes you want to take to help you reach your goal, whether it be getting a degree or transferring. The catalog shows when classes are available and how many units the classes are worth and if the classes are transferable. The catalog also shows degree patterns. Planning for the Ed Plan appointment is important, but do not stress too much; ed plans are changeable. All you need to do is think about a major that interests you or a job you might want to have, and make an appointment with a counselor. I

Developing an ideal classroom that is well-managed does not require any special power. It requires a simple skill called thought and heart. One of the key components of becoming a successful and ultimately great teacher is how you manage the classroom. Sports analysts say the most intelligent quarterbacks are the best game managers. Teachers play the quarterback role and Game Day, with the offense and defense out on the field, is the classroom of students.
Classroom management is a key element to establish a successful learning environment in any classroom. An effective classroom management plan creates a positive learning environment. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behavior. Students’ behavior is influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Teachers need a diverse array of classroom management skills to facilitate learning. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning. Students in effectively managed classrooms know and follow clearly defined rules and routines. A classroom management plan should provide
As suggested by Newman (2013) classroom management foundation is based on established procedures and systems incorporated to produce an environment that place emphases on student learning. This is to say, classroom management plans are educators assessments and exploits meant to form an atmosphere favorable to learning. Classroom management may seem to be a
Classroom management focuses on the way the classroom is run. It is proactive and requires preparation on the front end before activities begin. Classroom management is initiated by the teacher and the students react appropriately. Classroom management allows procedures, in
