Philosophy of Classroom Management

In all the classes I’ve been in growing up, there have been different ways of

managing the classroom that i have seen to be successful, and some not so successful.

Being a teacher is not a duty you should carry on lightly. Teachers should think through

every important concept before determining how the will manage their classrooms. In

setting up a philosophy and a plan for your classroom, you need to come up with ways

to be both in control, but to also give your students an effective learning experience.

Building a relationship with your students is the most important thing in giving the

students in your classroom an effective learning environment. When I become a

teacher, I will make sure that I form a relationship and understanding with my students.

To start, I will incorporate interactions during my lessons by calling on and asking

questions to my students that will make them feel engaged. On the first day of class I

will want to get to know my students and have them get to know about me. I will go over

the rules and regulations of the classroom and also have them listed around the room to

set reminders. When I become a teacher, I will want my students to feel respected by

me and all of their peers. I will set up rules about mean comments and anything that will

bring the other students down or in bullying other students. Growing up in school, I have

found I can learn easier in a classroom where I know I am free to express myself

knowing that bullying is not something that would happen in the classroom.
 When setting up rules and regulations, I will make sure I am firm on my rules so I

don’t feel like I’m getting pushed around by my students. I think often times in having a

comfortable environment, some students might take advantage of it and break your

rules so you need to be firm and set up your own rules and consequences for those

rules.

Being a teacher is a big responsibility, although rewarding. Sitting down before a

school year and planning out my classroom management each year will be the most

important step oh how I will interact with the children and how I will give them the best

learning experience they deserve.
