In addition to substantial professional knowledge and effective instructional practice, learning comes from a safe and enriching learning environment. Part of the learning environment involves a consistent classroom management plan. Every new group of students brings a new set of parameters for classroom management. At the core of my classroom management style, I want my students to have a voice within the learning environment, which will in turn give them a sense of ownership over their own education and classroom environment. With this sense of ownership, I will enforce clear and consistent rules that focus on developing a student’s character and citizenship skills.
