A few rules and procedures I plan to implement in my classroom are that I expect
students to participate and follow instructions. One of my biggest pet peeves is when
students say things like “wow that was so easy I don’t know how anyone wouldn’t know
that” so I want to talk about how everyone understands things differently, at different
paces so we should always be respectful to our classmates no matter what. I plan to
have assigned seating because this can help students both behaviorally and
academically if the seating is strategic. Using a verbal cue seems to work well in
classrooms I have been in and this would be something I would want to try as well.
Again, these are easier rules and procedures to enforce when students look at the
teacher respectfully due to the relationship that has been built.
Another thing to keep in mind is how I will interact with parents. Parents care
about their child’s success and take offense if the first conversation I have with them is
a negative one. To insult a child is to insult their parent. One way to prevent starting
problems with parents that I want to do is to call them the first week of school and tell
them how excited I am to have their child in class and tell them one positive interaction
I had with their child. I also want parents to feel welcome and included in their child’s
education, so I want to share a website with updates on our classroom learning and
activities and always allow them to give me suggestions and come help in the classroom.
They could submit suggestions through a google form on the class website.
