MANAGEMENT
PLAN
The basic teaching philosophy and approach towards
managing the classroom-learning environment

PHILOSOPHICAL BELIEFS
All behaviors are an expression of love or a call

for it.

When a student acts out, teachers tend to take

it personally. The truth is, it is rarely ever about

the teacher. It is almost always about the student
himself and his unmet need.

A STUDENT-ORIENTED
ENVIRONMENT
My teaching philosophy is that teachers should create a student-

centered learning environment, design and adjust lessons

according to the students needs.

Instead of trying to figure out the best way to make our teaching

job easier, try to think from the students perspective and figure
out what the student needs.

Once we establish this mindset, we will be able to increase the

quality of communicating with students and families, which is a

crucial component of teaching.

RESPECT AND RAPPORT

Oftentimes misbehaviors and conflicts are caused
by misunderstanding and lack of communication. A
big topic I will continue addressing to my students
is learning to embrace differences.

RESPECT POSTER

HIGH EXPECTATIONS LEAD

TO HIGH ACHIEVEMENT
Encourage students continually even when they give up

on themselves.

Correcting Papers/Tests
Allowing students to make corrections is a good way to let

them know that we have high expectations for them.

Students can gain a better grade from making corrections,
and by raising their grades, they could more confident and
understand the joy of learning and improving.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES
DAILY ROUTINES
Filling out the Planner students will look at the calendar as they

walk into the classroom, learn their tasks of the day, and jot down
the tasks onto their planners.

Do-now Activity: every morning, the journal prompt will be

displayed on the Smart Board, students will grab their notebooks

from the journal box and start writing.

Silent Reading: students will bring a book to read as they finish a

task or a quiz early.

Wrap Up: at the end of each period, students will arrange tables

and desks back in place and stay seated until the bell rings.

CLASSROOM
PROCEDURES
TRANSITIONS
Attention-getter: a horn/clap once
Give students warnings to alert that an activity is

ending

Put a timer on the screen where the alarm would go off

Verbally count down

Provide entities that will be needed for the next

activity in advance

CLASSROOM
PROCEDURES
GROUPING THE STUDENTS
Daily grouping: think/write, pair, share
Activity grouping: 3-4 people a group
Learn student interests and individual needs
Learn students strengths and weaknesses
NOT grouping students who cannot get along
Pair two students when I know both of them would benefit

from the discussion

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES
WORKING WITH STAFF AND/OR VOLUNTEER
Allow time for students to talk to other staff and

volunteers from outside of the school. This will

help them develop a sense of community.
Encourage students to ask questions and
introduce themselves to the guests.
Guide students to write thank-you letters.

POLICIES AND RULES

Our code is to beLOCOS
Learners: play hard, study hard.
ThOughtful: be considerate. BE NICE.
RespeCtful: see respect poster.
RespOnsible: you are responsible of what you do.

Safe: stay healthy!

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Extrinsic: sticker, school supplies
Intrinsic: smile, praise, the priviledge of tutoring others

responses to negative behavior

The purpose of consequences is to help students recognize
their misbehavior and promote compliance. I will have students
fill out a form when I encounter negative behavior. I would also
have them come stay in my classroom for 5 minutes after
1. school.
Circle: I was not being
Learner
Thoughtful
Respectful
Responsible
Safe
2. How can I improve my behavior next time?

ACTION PLAN
1. Preparing materials: posters, behavior reflection

forms, and awards

2. Print out a survey to learn the students opinions.
This way, once the classroom policies are
established, the students would feel responsible of
following rules that they have chosen.
3. Emailing parents the final product of the
classroom policies, make it explicit that it is the
result of a whole-class discussion, and leave my
contact information for further questions.
