Final Project
I. Philosophy of Classroom Management/Environment
My philosophy of discipline is based on PBIS. I use PBIS positive behavior combined with Flip-It and natural consequences. I have a routine for my class to follow. I praise those that I see following the routine frequently with fist bumps, high fives and “Wow” I like the way so and so are staying in line. This technique makes others want the praise and they will stay in line also. If a child misbehaves I will go sit with them and redirect them. Redirection is my form of natural consequences. If redirection doesn’t work for them I will play with them in another area until they settle down and are ready to go back and …show more content…
The first table will contain the following labeled bins. One bin will be used to drop off finished assignments, another for notes from home to school, and a third bin for finished makeup assignments. The other table will contain bins filled with fun activity pages from all content areas that are available to the students when students have completed all of their assignments. These fun activity pages are also available for extra practice at home. I will post my classroom expectations on a poster inside of the door to the right at student height. I will talk about my expectation starting the first day of school. I contribute this idea to Harry Wong. Starting everything from the first day of school. Also I would say Dr. Starmack has said, “If You Want It Teach It” many times throughout the semester. I will have two bulletin boards both across the room from the door. The first bulletin board will be all about PBIS. I can’t reinforce the importance of my belief in PBIS. The board will have information on it for parents, staff and students. The second bulletin board will be an interactive board for students to use. It will based on current and upcoming lessons. The board will contain activities for the students to engage …show more content…
Classroom Rules/Expectations
My Classroom Rules
1. Show Respect
2. Be Ready to Learn
3. Act Responsibly
4. Work as a Team
Following Expectations/Rewards The class will decorate the border of a piece of poster board. The poster board will have all 28 students names on it. There will be gold stars given for a desired behavior. Every other Friday students can receive a prize based on the number of stickers that they have earned. At first stickers will be given out frequently for good behavior. As time progresses throughout the school year stickers will be given out for increased student expectation and less frequently.
Consequences for Not Following the Expectations Ignoring the misbehavior. (Taking the focus off of the child when they want your attention). Distracting the child, giving them time to redirect themselves. I will use the following five-step process when a child is not following the classroom expectations.
I will identify the behavior directly after it occurs, using the following five steps to follow through:
1. Identify the misbehavior
2. Give a warning
3. Give a consequence
4. Tell them why their behavior was undesirable
5. Return to positive behavior
