Classroom Design
My classroom design allows me to have easy access to creating small groups due to how the tables are set up. The students are set up so they all can easily see the board. I will not have to teach to the back of any students. At the far end of my classroom, I set up a whole group carpet area. In the middle, I have set a large circle rug in front of a SmartBoard. This is where I can host morning meeting and large group activities. Now the left back corner is designated as the reading corner. This is a quiet place for students to relax and read. I will have bean bag chairs there to make the students comfortable. When we have time to spread around the class, this layout will allow the students to have many places to go.
Classroom Management
This brochure I can provide to parents to help show what my expectations are in the classroom. The brochure shows my classroom rules, my plan for when a child does not follow a classroom rule, and what happens when students follow the classroom rules.
Token Economy
Collaboratively, I made a token economy behavioral plan to help a student in a classroom to try an create positive behaviors. Token economy allows for positive reinforcement towards positive behaviors that a student may normally struggle with completing. We created programs to promote positive behaviors to work towards gaining prizes.
School Wide Behavioral Plan
In class, we made a school wide behavioral plan. We had to create a school or look up a school to base our school off of. Next, we created a behavior matrix to show the rules around our school. We also discussed how we would implement this program into our school and how teachers would be educated on the way it works.
