Classroom management sets the tone for a learning environment that will meet the developmental needs of all children in a preschool classroom. The classroom management plan will address and lay the foundation for setting up and maintaining the classroom. Setting up and maintaining the physical space will provide multiple opportunities for children to explore, discover and grow. This refers to the arrangement of classroom furniture and materials which involves not only learning for children, but also caring for the surrounding environment and what it contains. Establishing a structure for each day and creating a classroom community are basically daily routines and schedules that create a sense of order. Creating a school community will create a positive social climate that will help children feel good at school and learn to perform to the best of their abilities. The atmosphere will be safe and comfortable and children will feel that this is where they belong. As a result, children will become independent and confident learners. The classroom should be the place where children know that no harm will come to them, physically or emotionally. Therefore a well-run classroom will need some ground rules to keep it safe. Having kids involved in deciding rules will be more of a cause than understanding and respecting what they helped establish. Before you meet with kids about classroom rules, think about which rules are absolutely essential to you: your non-negotiables. It may be helpful to think about specific categories first rather than the actual rules you want (Dodge, 2002). Rules should be posted where children congregate most. Where they can see and the teacher and children can review with them. Or… middle of the paper… A well-structured daily schedule blocks time and establishes a sequence of activities for a preschool classroom. When the daily schedule meets children's developmental and individual needs, classroom life runs smoothly and is enjoyable for everyone. Classroom management is a significant element in any educational context. Students should be in a safe environment for learning to take place. This does not necessarily mean punishing behavior problems, but rather a combination of setting the tone for the classroom, preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging programs, and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all students to learn is my main goal of implementing good classroom management: without it students would not be able to learn (Dodge 2002).
