Imagine you are preparing for your first semester at an elementary school in your home district where you will be teaching a sixth-grade class, and you were assigned a homeroom. You are well-aware that classroom management is one of the biggest challenges for a new teacher, and you are planning ahead of time how you will apply what you have learned about enforcing desired behavior and establishing rules and procedures with students.

Part 1: Classroom Management Models

Research various classroom management models and theories.

Create a visual organizer that compares at least 2 different models/theories and includes the following:

• Name of model
• Model description
• Theorist
• How each model functions in the classroom
• How each model promotes appropriate behavior
• How each model is used to create a positive learning environment
• Part 2: Classroom Expectations

  Create a table that lists routines and procedures students will be expected to follow in your classroom. Include the following routines and procedures:

• Entering the classroom
• Exiting the classroom
• Turning in assignments
• Obtaining materials
• Going to the restroom
• Getting out of their seat
• Checking devices in and out 
• Include the following information/columns for each routine or procedure:
• Steps for accomplishing the routine or procedure
• Consequences for not following the routine or procedure
• Method for teaching the routine or procedure
• Consider the roles in which students’ diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences, abilities, developmental levels, and skills might have on your plan as you formulate your responses.

  Part 3: Analysis

  
  Choose 3 of the routines or procedures listed in your table from Part 2 that you believe are most important, and write a 260- to 350-word analysis that addresses the following questions:

• Why are these routines or procedures critical to your success in the classroom?
• What classroom management model(s) do these routines and procedures follow?
• How will these routines or procedures promote student engagement?
• From a legal and ethical standpoint, why is it important to have routines and procedures in place?
• How did you consider the diversity of your students when creating and communicating expectations?
• What impact do preparation and instructional planning have on whether students follow these routines and procedures?
• Compile your visual organizer, table, and analysis into one document for submission.
