My classroom management plan contains four categories: Expectations, Purpose for Learning, Organization, and Behavior Management. I believe a successful year of teaching comes from maintaining a strong classroom managment system. I spend the first three to four weeks of school modeling and practicing my expectations, routines, and procedures. Under each category, I have identified elements that I plan on implementing in my classroom.
