CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN
30 points….3 per item
Due December 8-9
The Classroom Management Plan should include the items listed below. Unless otherwise noted in bold these are all completed OFs or FHW’s; you should make corrections and revisions and use new copies based on our comments. The order of these items is not the same as the order of the FHW’s. . This seemed more logical. Feel free to add items you think relevant to classroom management from this class or the school site. Keep this management plan for next semester; you may be asked to resubmit it for EDSS 459, to share it with your supervisor, and to include it as a component of a professional portfolio.
Please attach this checklist to your management plan.
1. Letter of Introduction to Students and Parents (to introduce yourself, your qualifications, your role next semester); emphasize working with mentor teacher teacher. Keep to one page. (FHW #5)
