Classroom Management

My class has a standard management plan. I think this is important because often in kindergarten students are learning the boundaries of what is alright and what is not. The rule is that if you are disrespectful,rude, or acting out you must move your name down the paper. This is very effective for the children and they have the fear of their parents getting the call. Another management is separating the children that are more talkative is around other people. This could be a problem because it isolates them but the class does enough thinks that it makes it alright. Finally, since many of the problems for these children is dealing with cutting in lines and always being first. The teacher ensures that cutting is not tolerated and if you do you sit down and have to walk back. Also, there is a specific person that gets to walk in the front of the line to ensure that every child gets a chance.

  1. I agree that her classroom is pretty standard for classroom management and making sure the kids know right from wrong. I've noticed that she also has two separate desks away from the group for two students who commonly misbehave in the class. Do you think that's a good way to set up a classroom?

  2. Sounds like the teacher has a handle on how to effectively manage behavior. It has the visual reminder that is important to younger students and the plan in place for disruptions.
