Classroom Management Plan (example)Expectations for Classroom Activities and Transitions:

During classroom activities students will be expected to use an inside voice while having a variety of different styles of learning. It could be group, partner, or individual activities. Transitions will happen after a brief five minute warning before it is time to move on to the next activity. At the end of a lesson we will take the opportunity to summarize what was learned from the day’s lesson or ask any questions that anyone was confused on.

Expectations should be that everyone does their absolute best no matter what.

Encouragement Procedures (Motivation):

To motivate students:

- Introduce new lessons with an engaging “hook” to interest them. This could be asking them what has been going on in specific subject area, bring in something that relates to subject, ask questions that will ask their opinion, or even a game that could tie in the lesson.

- Keeping a fresh positive attitude at all times so students and the teacher will form positive relationships will also help achieve motivation.

- Classroom reward system that includes the whole class for being successful and using good manners. Rewards by receiving compliments or doing a good deed to be acknowledged. Class will work together to receive an award!

- Motivation through noticing when someone is having an exceptionally good day or even a bad day by giving student a note to encourage them.
