Classroom Management PlanMr. Schoning’s High School English Class
Statement of Purpose(The mission statement of this classroom)
Statement of Purpose should be:
brief
focused
direct
clearly understood, and lacking “teacher jargon.”
If any of these things are sacrificed; I risk the kids not understanding our purpose, which would render the exercise pointless.
EXAMPLE: This classroom is an environment of respect and excellence. Everyone who enters this room will strive to do their best, support each other, and accept challenges together.
Rules: what I expect from the students. I need to make these:
positive. State what I do want, rather than what I don’t.
in simple terms.
measurable and observable.
EXAMPLE: Bring your notebook to class everyday.
Procedures: Instructions for students on how to do what I want them to. The
procedures will answer:
Why?
When?
Who?
Where?
How?
What?
EXAMPLES: Walk the younger students to lunch. Walk in the hallways at all times.
ConsequencesMay be positive or negative, but all consequences should:
be clear and specific
be directly related to rules and procedures
be hierarchical/have a range of intensity
be natural and appropriate in the school environment.
EXAMPLE: Free time to quietly use technology in the classroom. Not: Going to a movie with the teacher on Saturday.
Action Plan (Communication)
Teach all the previous items to the students.
Communicate the same to parents and other school staff, administrators.
Review the plan regularly (reteach if necessary).
