Current Personal Philosophy of Classroom Management Grand Canyon University: EDU-450 1/14 1. A teacher should act in the following ways: * Communicate in a way that is age-appropriate for the students in the classroom. * Always remain professional. I will never lose my cool when dealing with an uncomfortable situation. * Firm but approachable.
All students’ interests, strengths, and cultural backgrounds are welcomed and valued. I treat all students equitably and interact and communicate with them to make them feel cared for, listened to, and respected. My efforts to respond to all student questions and to remain patient and calm contribute to my comforting, welcoming classroom environment. At the beginning of the year, I communicate my rules and expectations clearly and directly. I require students and their parents to sign a contract stating that they have read and understand my behavioral and academic expectations and consequences.
Morrish's "Real Discipline" • It shows and demonstrates a clear understanding of human nature and how students will react. • It has three elements that make it to easily implement them. training, • It is based on normal expectations and stresses reaction more than initiation. • Students raised with this theory will learn respect and responsibility. • It is well accepted by the students and can lead to a very functional classroom.
Because everyone will discuss the rules together, everyone sort of become aware of each other's needs. Everyone in the class should try their best not to break the ground rules. You should not only follow the rules that suit your needs. You should follow each and every
As teachers, our classrooms continue to change as students grow and learn and as new students join the group throughout the year. I believe that the model you choose to implement is far less important than the attitude taken towards classroom management. If you feel that classroom management is a burden rather than an exciting challenge we face each day, you will most likely be burned out and leave the field of education. However, if you embrace the challenges we as teachers face each day, and look upon them as learning experiences to help mold the children that will inevitably become our leaders of
This means that your behaviour should be similar to that of other staff. You should try always to be courteous, patient and thoughtful of others. Remember you are a role model for the children at placement and need to behave in a mature manner at all times. 2. Time-keeping It might seem obvious but one of the most important things you must do on placement is to be there on time and, ideally, a few minutes early.
The vocational nature of the qualification that our students undertake is of a very structured nature with students developing skills required to undertake practical assessments, as a result of this the learning that takes place allows students to develop at their own pace and to a level that allows them to achieve their full potential. I also apply the same principles whenever I use a classroom making it a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning, I actively encourage students to participate in my lessons and I believe that no student should ever be afraid to ask a question or give an answer to a question in any of my classes. I make the work given to students appropriate to their ability and wherever possible use examples and illustrations that are relevant to their environment outside of school. In developing and promoting appropriate behaviour within school, we have adopted ground rules that students are aware of from the very beginning; we do not tolerate bullying, racial comments, discrimination of any form, inappropriate language or disrespectful behaviour all of which
Establishing good ground rules at the start of the lessons are an important part of the teacher’s role to ensure everyone has clear expectations within the classroom environment, this helps to ensure appropriate behaviour and respect for others within the class. The teacher should be ready to teach, be on time and available to greet learners on arrival to their lesson. Recording attendance at all teaching sessions is the responsibility of the teacher. It is important to be approachable with an open, friendly attitude whilst always working within professional boundaries and always respecting confidentiality. The teacher should have the ability to check learners understanding during lessons.
• avoid career- and health-threatening frustration and burnout? The establishment and maintenance of safe and supportive classrooms that contribute to high quality student achievement are critical skills that are rarely taught at the university. Consequently, those skills must be crafted and honed “on the job.” Each school and each classroom presents its own unique challenges, and because every year brings a new group of students, teachers must become lifelong learners. The foundation of this learning lies in just a few research-supported principles and actions, TeachSafeSchools.com and the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment have condensed the information for ready consumption. Everything starts with TEACH: T.E.A.C.H.
Next, the parents could have their children review their work at the end of every week. This procedure would help keep the parent and the child up to date with their work. Many times the child may not understand some of the work, so it is good for a parent to ask them questions. If the parents are having trouble answering their child’s questions, the next best thing to do is hire a tutor. Hiring a tutor is a way to improve the child’s educational experience.
