Management Skills
Classroom Rules
• During morning routines, students recite their classroom rules and their promise every morning, which reminds them the expectation throughout the day.
My Promise
Each day I’ll do my best,
And I won’t do any less.
My work will always please me,
And I won’t accept a mess.
I’ll color very carefully,
My writing will be neat.
And I simply won’t be happy
‘Till my papers are complete
I’ll always do my homework,
And I’ll try on every test.
And I won’t forget my promise---
To do my very best!
Classroom Rules
We raise our hands to speak.
We work quietly at are seats.
We use voices soft and sweet.
We keep our places tidy and neat.
We are helpful, friendly and fair.
Be nice.
Do what you know is right.
Consequences
• My mentor teacher uses a management skill called behavior faces. It consists of three different faces; happy, straight and a sad face. During the day student’s numbers are all on the happy face and if they break a rule in the classroom, they are asked to bring their numbers down to the straight face. If they further misbehave in the classroom, their numbers go down to the sad face. Before releasing students for after school, faces would be circled onto their Homework log sheet corresponding to their behavioral in the classroom. Parents are well aware of the outcomes of each of these faces and it is their child’s responsibility to explain their behaviors in the classroom, whether if it a happy face, straight face or a sad face. Parents are also responsible to sign this log sheet on a daily basis. If they have any concerns or questions in regards to their child’s behavior, they are welcomed to either call the teacher or write a comment on the space provided in the log sheet.
Reward System
• There are so many ways that students can receive a reward by showing good behavior and following directions in the classroom and outside of the school premises. Prizes are given out for those behaviors at every end of the day. This can be done for individual students or as a group. An example of group points is when group accumulates points every time they follow directions instructed by the teacher. Fifty points should be accumulated in order to receive a prize at the end of the day. Individual prizes are given for those students who uses their school t-shirts on Fridays, finishes their school lunch, birthdays, and demonstrates positive good behaviors in the classroom. Praising student’s good behavior is another reward strategy that we use in the classroom. By praising other student’s good behavior in the classroom, students tend to imitate that good behavior in the classroom. Using these reward systems in our classroom are very effective, because it not only reward students for their good behavior but it helps other students strive to do their very best in the classroom.
Classroom Responsibilities
• At the back of the classroom, a responsibility chart is visible for students to see what their responsibilities are in the classroom. We randomly change responsibilities every week. Every Mondays, during our morning routines, students look at the chart and see what they are responsible of doing throughout the week. This is one great strategy that every teacher should have in their classroom, because it not only teaches them to be responsible, but also a great help for the teacher.
Transitioning into Subjects
• Before transitioning unto other subjects, teacher provides a directions and expectations of what to do before they move into the next subject. Group by group are then instructed to follow the directions instructed by the teacher. Group points are sometimes given when is being rewarded for following directions during transition.
