My Classroom
I strive to provide an organized, routine driven, inviting classroom environment. To ensure my classroom runs smoothly I rely on my classroom management practices. I base my classroom management on 2 basic guidelines, known expectations, and a reward based system. I base my expectations on respect and listening. Beginning the very first day of school I ensure my expectations are laid out clearly to the students, as well as discuss these expectations to include the students thoughts about what respect and listening looks like in a classroom setting. Through my three years of teaching I have found this to be crucial to a successful school year. I like to include reward based systems in my classroom because I find they create a more proactive approach rather than a reactive approach. I have used things such as the app "Class Dojo," charts, and reward jars. I work hard everyday to perfect my classroom management techniques and classroom environment, I am always willing to try new things to reach my goal of the "perfect" classroom.
