Classroom Management Goals
As a new teacher I want to make sure I have the best management plan to make sure my students are behaved well and are able to succeed in life. I want my students to move on and be great in the future.
Lee Cantar
Lee Canter a philosopher of education created the assertive discipline method. This is "more than just putting marbles in a jar."(Canter, 1976). Although that incentive works well, incentives are not everything. "The key to Assertive Discipline is catching students being good: recognizing and supporting them when they behave appropriately and letting them know you like it, day in and day out." (Canter, 1976). I believe strongly in this. For example a child is not going to do something if no one is watching or praising them for it. If a student knows that their teaching is watching them showing good and helpful behavior they will continue that. I will be doing this in the classroom. That is why I have the good helper tickets. This will encourage the behavior.
William Glasser
William Glasser is another theorist I would use in my classroom. He believed that people learn by example. To follow this I personally would model good behavior when interacting with the class and other teachers. I will teach with examples. For example if there is a craft I will make one first so the students can see what they are making. "By providing students with a stimulating learning environment, teachers in fact begin to encourage the students to confront issues and topics in a comfortable and safe manner” (Vincent, 2006). With my classroom management plan I will ensure the children with a safe environment to learn and grow.
