I feel great about the floor plan I have laid out and the majority of the procedures, as well as the plans I
have for student relationships, and parent/teacher relationships. I really liked the ideas I came up with
for the beginning of the year bulletin boards. I am confused and unsure about what to do for/go about
the substitute, discipline, motivation, diversity, and conflict mediation plans; partially because its still
something new to think about and I feel like I should have guidelines for what to put.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN DRAFT

Using your own educational philosophy, you are to develop a classroom management plan for your
classroom. You will address all of these components using what you have learned in class and your own
research during field experiences and your informal case study. All of your plans should reflect your
philosophy and will be scored with a rubric (provided by instructor). You will use Livebinders to organize
and store your work. You will need to submit the link for your Livebinder for this plan via your portfolio.
English Education majors should develop or continue to use their digital portfolio from other classes for
this work.
Still need:

Tornado drills
Food/Drink/Gum
Hall/Locker/Office Visits
Tardies
Supplies

Respect
Responsibility
Accountability
Absences depends on what the school policy on that is; I would think the usual x amount of unexcused
absences means you fail the course, and the usual x amount of excused absences (doctor appt. family
related matters, etc.)
Homework it is the students responsibility to complete all homework assignments and projects in a
timely manner.
Missing/Late Work one letter grade off for each day late (if graded)
Bathroom just get up and go; unless school has passes for the bathroom, then use those
Collecting papers I will collect papers in a timely manner (early and on time)
Passing out papers goes in a circle; I pass stack to one student who then passes to whichever side so
the papers literally make their way around.
Fire/Tornado Drills whatever the school policy is on that
Food/Drink/Gum - I will allow snacks in class (if youre hungry, youre hungry), but they are not allowed
to be seen and they must be quiet (bars are good), can be in a bag if it is a plastic Ziploc bag. Chew
quietly. No chips, nothing super smelly. Only water, or closed container drink (travel mug is fine). If gum
helps you think, then fine, but no smacking or bubbles.
Hall/Locker/Office visits if their locker is close by, then by all means go and get what is forgotten; if
elsewhere in the school (left it in another classroom by accident) take a hall pass and go get it (if its
class work or daybook). If its a utensil type thing, they can use the classroom supplies. No going to
locker or hall for vague reasons.
Tardies: I will accept up to five minutes late to class for a logical reason (not outside school related, like
forgetting something in your locker and running back to go get it). I will also accept notes from parents
and doctors as reasons later than 5 minutes. After 5 minutes though, I start teaching and it is the
students responsibility to find out what was missed (student accountability here).

Supplies I plan on having a segment of a wall set up for needed supplies (saves space versus a cabinet)
like pencils, pens, paper, scissors, glue sticks, etc. Have really gaudy pencils and pens so students dont
want them so they can remember to bring their own.
Parent Communications Plan email me, Facebook, Skype, and Remind any or multiple of those options,
possibly all, depending on what works best for the parent.
10/05/2014
Class Schedule (to establish routine) Writing into the Day, Announcements, Lesson,
Activities/Discussion, Whats coming up next (this includes homework for the day), Writing out of the
day (or free time if the class is finished with everything).
Bulletin Board (beginning of Year ideas)
Getting to Know You via Social Media, have sections for FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. Have
students put up one thing about them in as many sections as apply, put myself in as well (ex. Pinterest
and/or Instagram/Snapchat is a photo, Twitter is a Tweet or hashtag, About Me for FB).
Adventures in English The Hobbit Im going on an adventure! Adventure Time, Superheroes, Oh the
Places Youll Go! Treasure Island, LOTR, Narnia, Once Upon A Time, Quest for Camelot, Redwall series
Coat of Arms what represents you?, Tolkien Races, Harry Potter Houses, Divergent Factions, Hunger
Games Districts, etc.
Student Relationship Plan students are responsible for their own work, they are responsible to each
other, student/class contact list (so they can contact each other if someone is missing/absent; this falls
into the accountability section rule); hopefully I can get the students to respect each other and have
their relationships with one another at the very least be friends; the classroom is a community;
everyone has to work together as well as individuallyteamwork.
Grading Plan Dr. Hartmans form of grading, rubrics, level of understanding for various categories;
Ranking, Evaluating, Judging article. I hope to be diligent with grading, Im currently setting the
window for response time is within a week (for large things like papers and projects; for small things by
the next class period), unless I am behind for some reason, then within two weeks. I set that time frame
because I know how frustrating it is to not have a grade back that was supposed to be done earlier.
Classroom Floor Plan see My Pictures
Attendance plan whatever the school policy is; a certain amount of absences equals failing the course.
Discuss all of the above during the first two days of lessons, explain about my hearing loss, go back to
first two chapters of TSYM and look for management ideas. Information sheet and expectations for
classroom behavior and quiz; evaluations at beginning and end of semester (this sentence is all TSYM
info).
