2 I. Philosophy and Reflection Classroom Management Plan 1. My ideal classroom is a safe and comfortable place where students of different cultures and backgrounds are encouraged to learn, they are able to express themselves and most importantly they are able to develop social skills that will help them live productive and happy lives. To be able to create a safe, comfortable, adequate and peaceful atmosphere in the classroom, it is extremely important to develop effective discipline plans and programs that are easy for students to follow. In her article, Classroom Management: Techniques, Polices, Procedures, and Programs to Ensure that Discipline Rules in your Classroom, Janice G. Logan presents a series of three actions that teachers must consider when planning a classroom management program: 1. A program of discipline must teach self-discipline 2. Students must know what the standards are in the classroom 3. The adjustment of behavior must fit the occasion and the environment (p.3) By implementing these actions into my classroom as part of my classroom management program, I will teach self discipline to the students in several ways. During the first day of class, I will ask my students for their names. I will practice matching up their names to their faces. Throughout the first week, I will also have a brief small group discussion session (4-5) in order to promote the following class- worldwide discussion and so that my students have the opportunity to get to know each other better. The small group discussion will have a break the ice effect that will make students feel more comfortable when talking in the second language. However, despite how important the classroom is for individuals to meet and interact, the learning and teaching plan of producing self-disciplined independent thinkers should be introduced to students by the teacher from the beginning of the year. The plan created by the teacher must as well have strong potential so that the students can analyze what they have learned and in turn they will be able to apply that new knowledge into their everyday lives. II. Expectations/Policies/Rules/Boundaries Helping students develop respect for themselves, others, and their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas and judicious approach to discipline (selfdiscipline.) In his book, Classroom Management that Works, Robert J. Marzano supports the intuitive notion that, well- articulated rules and procedures that are negotiated with students are a critical aspect of classroom management affecting not only the behavior of students but also their academic
3 achievement. (p.17) A discipline program in the classroom will be a success when the voice of the students is heard, and the environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. The small group discussion is one way to encourage such dialogue. I believe children can develop their self-discipline when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. With the students help, I will set fair and consist rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. III. Mental set I believe children have greater respect for their teachers, their peers and the lessons presented when they understand the purpose of the importance of education in their lives. The first step to help students understanding the importance of education is by knowing them. Knowing the students I can anticipate misbehavior in class, encourage them according to their necessities and eliminate misconceptions and stereotypes. IV. Student responsibility for management and getting off to a good start Student Learning Plan High School Señora Miller Spanish II Week: 08/ 31 to 09/04/ 2009 Student Learning Plan Teacher: Dulce Miller Subject: Spanish II Grade: Date: 08/ 31/ 2009 OBJECTIVE: By working in individually, the Spanish II students WBAT design 7 to 8 classroom rules and procedures that will help them behave better in the school and consequently learn more, fully completing the assignment.

Later on the teacher will pass out to the students cards with misbehaving classroom scenarios. The students will read the scenarios and will write a possible solution for the problem and a possible solution that will prevent that situation.

Student Learning Plan Teacher: Dulce Miller Subject: Spanish I Grade: Date: 09/ 02/2009 OBJECTIVE: By working in small groups, the Spanish 1 students WBAT recognize 5 out of 8 strategies that will facilitate the acquisition of the Spanish language for them, fully completing the assignment. PROCEDURE: Warm-up: In a piece of paper the students will write the names of characters on TV shows that speak Spanish. The teacher will present a P.P.P. to the students that explains 8 important tips that will teach the students how to study in a foreign language class. After watching the P.P.P., The students will play the game:
6 The Language Treasure Inside a treasure box, the teacher will place the 8 tips that will help students on their way to Spanish proficiency. Every team will choose a captain. The captain will pick a card with one of the tips from inside the box. Tips that will help you in your way to Spanish Proficiency : 1. Be Patient Don t expect to learn Spanish too quickly. You may become frustrated when this doesn't happen. Take your time and don't expect to be perfect straight away. Learning a new language should be attempted in small, manageable steps. Congratulate yourself on progress made and try to steer clear of setting unrealistic goals. 2. Learn Spanish Abroad You will learn fastest when you are exposed to the language you are trying to learn on a regular basis. You will find your mastery of Spanish will improve significantly if you combine what you learn in school with practice in practical, everyday situations. 3. Actively Involve Yourself with Spanish Literature You don t have to read an entire Spanish newspaper every day. However, by attempting to read a couple of small articles regularly, you can pick up common words and phrases. Reading newspapers and magazines can help you gain more confidence in your Spanish reading and writing ability. 4. Use Flashcards Using flashcards is a great way to remember important Spanish words you come across each day. If you keep hearing a word while you are out and about, write it on a flashcard. Also, if there is a word or phrase you find difficult to remember, write it on a flashcard. Review your flashcards frequently. 5. Watch Spanish Movies and Television Shows This is an easy and fun way to learn Spanish. Try to get as much exposure to Spanish film and television as possible. Also, watch English-language movies that have Spanish subtitles. Try to match the words spoken to the words written on the screen. This is particularly helpful in picking up different accents and trying to comprehend the Spanish language when spoken at a faster pace.
7 6. Label Your Surroundings Buy a pad of stickers and go around your house and stick a Spanish label on things. Every time you go near a labeled item, say its name out loud. You will never forget the meaning of 'el baño' (the bathroom) again. 7. Learn With a Friend Studying and learning Spanish can sometimes be a frustrating and lonely process. Your motivation may drop from time to time. The best way to overcome this is by finding friends who will support you when progress seems elusive. Learning Spanish with a friend also ensures that you have an opportunity for practical and oral learning outside your classroom. Homework usually only involves reading and writing. 8. Join a Spanish Learning Community Online, or in your local community, you will find a surprisingly large number of people trying to do the same thing as you. Sign up for online support and guidance, and attend and participate in local Spanish group meetings. We live in an age where information and guidance, if you want it, is easy to obtain. Take advantage of these resources. Later on, the teams will create a poster that explains their strategy. The students will also give examples of how to accomplish these (tips) strategies. Resources: CLOSURE: The students will write on a blank card one tip or strategy that will help them on the process of learning a foreign language. The students will use the cards as tickets to leave the classroom. ASSIGNMENT: (5 points) The students will develop an idea or strategy that will help them in the process of learning a foreign language. Student Learning Plan Teacher: Dulce Miller Subject: Spanish II Grade: Date: 09/03/2009
8 OBJECTIVE: By working individually, the Spanish II students WBAT create a 5 letters acronym that will help them to remember a strategy for taking tests, fully completing the assignment. PROCEDURE: Warm-up: On a transparency, the students will analyze the mystery word of the day: Acronym. Later on, the teacher will explain to the students what an acronym is: HOMES is an example of an acronym that is a real word you can use to remember the names of the five Great Lakes: Michigan, Erie, Superior, Ontario, Huron: In HOMES, H is the first letter of Huron and helps you remember that name; O is the first letter of Ontario, and so on. The teacher will present to the students the five strategic steps that will help them when taking a test: D= Directions Read the test directions very carefully. Ask your teacher to explain anything about the test directions you do not understand Only by following the directions can you achieve a good score on the test. If you do not follow the directions, you will not be able to demonstrate what you know. E = Examine Examine the entire test to see how much you have to do. Only by knowing the entire task can you break it down into parts that become manageable for you. T = Time Once you have examined the entire test, decide how much time you will spend on each item. If there are different points for items, plan to spend the most time on the items that count for the most points. Planning your time is especially important for essay tests where you must avoid spending so much time on one item that you have little time left for other test items.
9 E = Easiest The second E in DETER reminds you to answer the items you find easiest first. If you get stuck on a difficult item that comes up early in the test, you may not get to answer items that test things you know. R = Review If you have planned your time correctly, you will have time to review your answers and make them as complete and accurate as possible. Also make sure to review the test directions to be certain you have answered all items required. Resources: CLOSURE: The students will write in a blank card the DETER acronym: (Strategy can help you do your best on any test).the students will use the cards as tickets to leave the classroom. ASSIGNMENT: (5 points) The students will develop an acronym that will help them memorize new strategies or tips and that will help the class remember how to take a test.

12 Spanish Assignments and Homework Presentations Content and presentation are two very important components when presenting homework assignments for the Spanish class. The content of the homework will help you to review the material of today s class, and it will also provide you with extra practice as well as reinforce or extend learning outside the boundaries of the classroom. On the other hand, neat assignments and homework presentations will demonstrate how well organized clean and dedicated you are. Remember that at school you are not only learning different subjects, but you are also preparing yourself for the future. This is the format that you will be using every time you hand out assignments for the Spanish class. Remember that you need to use clean and complete sheets of paper. Make sure to write the proper heading on top of your document. If you are not typing the assignment, please write it neatly. Without making any exceptions, I will not accept any paper that doesn t meet any of these requirements. The absences of any of these requirements will result in receiving no points for the assignment.
