EDUC 232 Management Plan 2.1
EDUC 232 Management Plan 2.1
It is important for me to have strong classroom management skills to ensure every class
runs smoothly and as planned in my lessons. Every class time will have objectives. An effective
style will help my students and I utilize our time together. This can happen with organization
and routine in our daily schedule. By having high expectations of my students, they will also see
value in using our time together efficiently for learning.
I have an authoritative style of classroom
management. There will be rules that are the same for
all students. Students will know what I expect of them
when entering my room. While I am the leader of the
classroom my students must also have a say in what is
going on within the room. It is their learning that we are
concerned with so, it is important for our classroom
structure to reflect what makes them productive. As
partners in certain aspects of the environment we can
create an atmosphere that is cohesive to learning.
Rules for all of my students will be the same and
everyone will be treated fairly. The problem is that what
is fair is not always equal for all students. Each students
will be treated as an individual but, still be expected to
live up to my high expectations. Everyone will know that
breaking of the rules will have consequences and these consequences will be agreed upon by
the whole class before problems even arise. Out of respect for my students, these
consequences will be dealt with privately.

Parents as Partners:
I will plan to use the app Socrative, as a way to keep in contact with parents. This app
allows for me to email, call, and text any device. It will be an easy way to provide daily updates
on what we are doing in the classroom to all parents. It also allows for me to contact individual
parents on student progress. This app will also help with parents who want frequent updates
on their child. It will eliminate the amount of time spend on sent multiple individual emails
daily. Along with this app I plan to have a classroom website. This website will include
information on all assignments and due dates. I will also be posting student work to provide an
authentic audience for my students. For parents that do not have the technology need for
these app or website, I will provide a newsletter. I will not provide one for every member of the
class. I will know who I need to send a newsletter hope with because of the survey I will give
parents on open house night.
Parents will be encouraged to take part in their students learning through the use of
technology. I will also invite parents to experience what it is like to participate in our classroom.
Parents are welcome to come on Fridays and actually take part in the class lesson. They may
come on another day if they give prior notice. This opportunity is open to all parents and I will
encourage all types of parents, whether they are already extremely involved or not at all.
Every issue with a student will first try to be settled at school. If it is a small infraction,
there is no need for parents to get involved. Students need to learn to settle problems on their
own and learn independence. While I intend to contact parents if there are issues in class that
cannot be settled at school, I will also contact parents when their child has a great day or does
someone I think is noteworthy. Parents should be proud of their children and know that their
teacher is proud of them as well. Because of this contact with parents, parent-teacher
conferences should bring no surprises. Parents will already know their childs grades and their
effort put forth in class. I will use this time mainly to show student work that will help support
the conversations we have had previously.
