Description
Assignment 1: Effective classroom management plans provide students with a positive classroom experience that can significantly improve student’s social and emotional well-being and increase academic success. A well-written and executed classroom management plan will foster optimal student learning by proactively establishing clear expectations and guidelines. Research-based classroom management models provide educators with strategies and guidance that can assist teachers in developing their own comprehensive management plan.
Research and select five classroom management models that provide evidence-based, positive guidance strategies that support the development of young children and are developmentally appropriate for early childhood classrooms. Based on the results of your research, create a graphic organizer that can be provided to other early childhood teachers. Include the following in your graphic organizer for each classroom management model:
Description of the model
How the model provides reinforcement for positive behavior
How the model provides opportunities for redirection, teachable moments, and/or logical consequences for discouraged behaviors
Strategies provided within the model that can be used in the classroom
Strategies provided within the model that families can use at home for behavior support and learning
Following your graphic organizer, write a 250-500 word reflection explaining the model or models that best align with your personal teaching and classroom management style, and your understanding of how young children learn. How will you integrate the model/models into your own classroom management plan? Justify your response with research.
Support your graphic organizer and reflection with a minimum of 3 resources.
While APA Style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
