MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

MY PERSONAL PHILISOPHY OF EDUCATION…

IN ACTION

In an effort to effectively facilitate and execute all components of MY PERSONAL PHILISOPHY OF EDUCATION STATEMENT, detailed above, I present the following classroom management plan for the purpose of achieving yearlong consistent progress through self-accountability.

Teacher & Student Unified Classroom GOAL… LEARN. TEACH. SUPPORT.

Together, as a class, we welcome and facilitate…
COPPERATIVE -- STUDENT LEAD --  TEACHER SUPPORTED -- SELF REGULATED -- daily AUTOMATION.
By the end of this plan, The TONE WILL BE SET & Expectations high, where they will remain.

Students will gain a detailed appreciation for freedom through understanding. Students will adhere to the expectations of behavior for creating an atmosphere of creativity, comfort ability, and safety through this open learning environment. This classroom is student governed, student led & self-empowered. This class will function at high energy daily, with communicated High Expectations as the norm. Together we will create structure through healthy decision making & adherence to classroom responsibilities. Remember, in this class we operate through good choices.  NOT RULES.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. — JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

 People only live up to the expectations you set for them.
When you create expectations, you change people's behavior. 

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS AND SHARED ACCOUNTABILITY
Purpose is for student understanding of explicit instruction with clear expectations relating to behavior, curriculum and self-regulated penalties for going outside these instructed and expected parameters of acceptable behavior.

  1. Begin each day with a clean slate.
  2. Grow confidence daily.
  3. Operate according to classroom Job description and beginning of the year contract.
  4. Create new Peer to Peer Reputations of accountability. No more pressure to be the class clown!
  5. Collaborate and decide with classmates.

***Each Student MUST start each and every day with our group SELF-AWARENESS AFFIRMATIONS activity.
