Norms and Routines

Establishing a safe and productive learning environment begins with a plan, one that is
founded on established theoretical foundations and professional practices. For this task,
you will act as a teacher creating a classroom management plan for your future class
based on a school you would work in. In your plan, you will customize the essential
pieces of a safe and productive learning environment that encourages positive social
interactions, individual and collaborative learning, and appropriate classroom behaviors.
You will then justify the effectiveness of your plan by explaining the relevant theories
and classroom management practices that support it.

A. Develop a classroom management plan for a class you aspire to teach in the future
by doing the following:

1. Describe your future class by identifying the grade level and content area, if
applicable, and two types of instructional activities specific to your class that are
relevant in a classroom management plan.

Note: Examples of information you might include in your description are as follows:
If it is a secondary science class, will there be laboratory activities as well as direct
instruction? If it is an elementary grade, will there be centers?

2. Explain your personal philosophy about your (the teacher’s) role as a classroom
manager. Include your responsibilities in establishing a positive, safe, and
productive learning environment that is inclusive of diverse student populations.

3. Identify three specific goals of your classroom management plan.

4. Describe your classroom layout for the class described in part A1. Include your
and the students’ seating arrangements and the placement of classroom
materials and resources (e.g., computers, displays, lab equipment, supplies)
needed to conduct the class activities identified in part A1.
a. Explain how the classroom layout could change between the layout described
in part A4 and a layout for a different type of activity (e.g., direct instruction,
learning centers, group work).

5. Describe two specific classroom routines, including one procedure associated

6. List three specific classroom rules that support teaching and learning in your
classroom.
a. Explain how these classroom rules will inform and be supported by the creation
of norms in your classroom.
b. Explain how these classroom rules will be communicated to students.
 7. Describe positive reinforcement and consequences you will use to help students
adhere to classroom norms, rules, and procedures.

8. Explain how all students will be actively involved in the plan and what their roles
will be in participating in a productive and collaborative learning environment.

B. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is
quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your
