Classroom Management
Classroom Management Plan
Descriptive Statement
This paper will discuss and explain my philosophy of classroom management, strategies, and theories that relate to this philosophy. It will also discuss my teaching style and how I will handle classroom discipline. Placing all these in a proper perspective will help me have an effective experience in the classroom, which will then create a positive learning environment for my students.
Philosophy of Classroom Management
My classroom management plan includes many concepts and ideas derived from various theorists. I believe that classroom management should be based around two concepts:
1.) A classroom should be managed so that misbehavior prevention is maximized 2.) Classroom management should be done in a non-threatening way. Philosophy of Classroom "Top Ten Beliefs"
1.) I believe that the more mature a student, the longer the lesson
This concept comes from Jacob Kounin’s Improving Discipline through Lesson Management theory, which is based on teacher’s strategies. Kounin believes that teachers should keep their students involved and have no down time. He also believes that classroom management and lesson management affect student behavior in school. To eliminate behavior issues in the classroom, a teacher should be aware of the teaching environment at all times. For this to happen, Kounin believes a teacher should have withitness, momentum, and smoothness.

I agree with Kounin’s theory of keeping the student involved but students should also be engaged. Depending on the student’s age and/or maturity level, a student can only focus on a lesson for a certain amount of time. To decrease stress and over-exposure of a topic, teachers need to know when they have reached a student’s satiation point. Satiation is Kounin’s term for a student getting all they can tolerate from a topic. He says teachers should make lessons as enjoyable and challenging as possible. A teacher can tell a student’s satiation point by
