MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY...




It is my philosophy that as a teacher I have the responsibility to teach my children to the best of my ability and to develop strategies to help them reach their full potential as well as a responsibility to enable my students to become active and informed citizens in our society and prepare them for a life beyond school. My classroom is the basis for this and that is why I will do my best to cater to the needs, abilities and interests of all my students. In creating a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment my students will feel accepted and appreciated. I will give my students the respect they deserve and embrace diversity and in turn will gain their trust. My classroom will be a place where my students will want to come to every day and leave at the end of the day with a smile on their face and a sense of achievement.


What Classroom and Behaviour Management Plans Are Not According to Dr Mac

A rigid set of rules

A list of consequences for misbehaviour

An outline of acceptable punishments

A plan to keep kids in their place

A way to exercise power and absolute control

A framework for handing out punishments


BUT SHOULD INVOLVE: (Rowan et al)

What kind of classroom environment you want
A statement of beliefs about how people need, want and deserve to be treated
A mutual understanding of what is good/ bad behaviour
A mutual understanding of consequences
A mutual understanding that you are responsible for your behaviour and that we can all change it.
