Homework: Classroom Management
Imagine you are preparing for your first semester at an elementary school in your home district where you will be teaching a sixth-grade class, and you were assigned a homeroom. You are well-aware that classroom management is one of the biggest challenges for a new teacher, and you are planning ahead of time how you will apply what you have learned about enforcing desired behavior and establishing rules and procedures with students.
• Part A: Classroom Management Models
Research various classroom management models and theories.
Create a visual organizer that compares at least 2 different models/theories and includes the following:
o Name of model
o Model description
o Theorist
o How each model functions in the classroom
o How each model promotes appropriate behavior
o How each model is used to create a positive learning environment
• Part B: Classroom Expectations
Create a table that lists routines and procedures students will be expected to follow in your classroom. Include the following routines and procedures:
o Entering the classroom
o Exiting the classroom
o Turning in homeworks
o Obtaining materials
o Going to the restroom
o Getting out of their seat
o Checking devices in and out
o Include the following information/columns for each routine or procedure:
o Steps for accomplishing the routine or procedure
o Consequences for not following the routine or procedure
o Method for teaching the routine or procedure
• Consider the roles in which students' diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences, abilities, developmental levels, and skills might have on your plan as you formulate your responses.
Part C: Analysis
Choose 3 of the routines or procedures listed in your table from Part 2 that you believe are most important, and write a 260- to 350-word analysis that addresses the following questions:
o Why are these routines or procedures critical to your success in the classroom?
o What classroom management model(s) do these routines and procedures follow?
o How will these routines or procedures promote student engagement?
o From a legal and ethical standpoint, why is it important to have routines and procedures in place?
o How did you consider the diversity of your students when creating and communicating expectations?
o What impact do preparation and instructional planning have on whether students follow these routines and procedures?
o Compile your visual organizer, table, and analysis into one document for submission.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
