My students will develop a community that respects each other in the classroom as well as out of the classroom. Once these goals have been met I feel that the rest of the year will be smooth sailing! (Gallagher, 1999-2012). In the field of education, good classroom management is essential ( Froyer & Iverson, 1999) . Encouraging and establishing student self-control through a process of promoting positive student achievement and behavior is what every classroom needs.
This in turn should create a caring, happy atmosphere in the school which can enable effective teaching and learning. The school has its own code of conduct which all members of the school are to support. The school code of conduct is as follows; This is our school we will: • look after everything in and around it • follow instructions first time • always do our best work and let others do the same • treat everyone as we would like them to treat us • move sensibly round school and always walk inside. The school looks out for positive behaviour done by pupils and emphasis is placed on the acknowledgement of this. There is to be a clear understanding by staff, pupils are parents of what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
I will create this environment through an engaging curriculum, personable interaction, topic orientated discussions, and group work. Since my license will include an endorsement in Special Education my classroom management will include a focus on flexibility defined as the ability to respond to the moods, emotions and the capabilities of my students on any given day. Meeting the needs of my students, based on their individual need, will be a crucial part of my classroom management structure. I will accomplishment this by promoting self-management and self-efficacy in my students to the best of their abilities. Creating a predictable, consistent, and success-oriented environment will promote self-management in my students by creating, basic, daily routines with limited changes (Savage & Savage, 2010).

A paraprofessional is a certified teacher aide assigned to a classroom or specific group of students to assist with learning. Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade classrooms should be required to be appointed a certified paraprofessional to ensure that all students get the proper educational reinforcement necessary. A certified paraprofessional is able to help any student, in any type of learning situation. Many are placed in classrooms to help students that have learning disabilities. These disabilities can range from dyslexia to autism, to physical disabilities that effect the learning accomplishments of the student.
All staff working with children needs to have a CRB check done on them as it is to certify that the adult has not been convicted in any crime in any shape or form. It protects the pupils by ensuring them that the adults employed to work with them are suitable and do not pose any risk to them and it protects adults in the school as the correct procedure have been followed regarding in the employment of staff. Following the visitors procedure is a very safe practice set in school to protect both pupils and adults as all visitors gaining access to the school will be registered in the record book of visitors i.e. all person visiting the school will have to sign in their names and time of arrival and departure, the reason why they have come to visit and whom they are visiting; their car registration number is taken where applicabable and very important of all a visitors badge is given to each person visiting the building.

He states, “Every teacher should realize the dignity of his calling; that he is a social servant set apart for the maintenance of proper social order and the securing of the right social growth.” He believed that the teacher should become a partner in the learning process. He states, “The teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas or to form certain habits in the child, but is there as a member of the community to select the influences which shall affect the child and to assist him in properly responding to these influences.” Teachers need to be aware of and never suppress a student’s interests.
