Professional Development Workshop: Integrating Technology in the Classroom
Wow! You've learned a lot already from this module, and I am sure you are eager to put your knowledge into practice! The purpose of the readings and viewing materials was to ensure that you had a thorough base of knowledge to begin formulating your own unique classroom management plans. While we are not ready just yet to transition to a final product yet, we are ready to jump right into a huge component of any classroom management plan: the discipline plan. By now you should know what type of disciplinarian you are, so make sure to create a plan that is conducive to your own personality type.
Hesitations or fears? No worries, you can always change your plan, especially once you begin teaching in your own classroom. The focus now is to create a simple plan that you could use with any age group. So...get creative and have fun!
Are you ready to create?! It's time to construct a brief introductory Discipline Plan which will be one of the primary components of your cumulative classroom management plan.
To begin, devise a list of rules that is simple, yet as we have discussed, is age-appropriate. We are teaching a wide array of students, as our population ranges from 18 to 80! Your plan should include the following:
-

-
Rationale for why they are important
-
Consequences and benefits of following guidelines
-
How you plan to discipline student in accordance to CEC's Code of Conduct policy
