1. Classroom Management Plan!
Kirsten Dale!

2. Statement of Purpose
Together we will collectively build a community of learners
and respect will be its foundation. Our classroom will be a
welcoming, safe, and positive environment which promotes
learning. We will strive for personal and academic success as
individuals and collectively as a group.

3. Rules
-Respect one another, your teacher, and school materials
-Bring all the necessary materials to class
-Be at your desk and ready before class starts
-Keep your cell phones on silent and use them outside of class time

4. Procedures
Before Class:
-I will write up assignments and other important items
!
!
-I will make sure all my materials are prepared before class starts
-ex: videoclips preloaded on the computer with the projector plugged in
!
Beginning of Class:
-Greet each student with a handshake at the door
!
-Students put their homework in an assignment tray before the bell rings
!
-Students take a seat and have their books and writing material ready

5. Procedures
During Class:
-Transitions will be used, such as verbal cues or countdowns
!
-I will incorporate one activity which is worked in groups of two or more
!
!
!
Wrapping up Class:
-The last few minutes will be allotted for a review and questions
!
-I will close the class with a daily “mind-blowing science fact”
-ex: horned lizards shoot blood from their eyes as a defense mechanism

6. Negative Consequences
-Verbal reminders of rule they are breaking
!
-Recess or lunch detention
!
!
-Call home to parents
!
-Send the student to the principals officers

7. Positive Consequences
-Verbal praise to individuals and groups
!
-Tangible awards can be given, such as funny science pens or
stickers
-ex: “Geology Rocks” stickers
!
-A large group award for a good test performance could be a
class which they can watch a documentary which is still relevant
-ex: They can watch the Insects episode of BBC Life if they
have just finished a segment in entomology

8. Action Plan
*Under Construction*
!
Disruptive behavior will be dealt with immediately. I will start with
surface management strategies and will progressively move to more
serious intervention techniques. My responses will start on the first day
and remain consistent for each student and throughout the school year.
