Personal Classroom Management Style
My Management Style
I approach classroom management with a Authoritative style. "The authoritative style is characterized by behavioral principles, high expectations of appropriate behavior, clear statements about why certain behaviors are acceptable and others not acceptable, and warm student-teacher relationships." (Wenning, 2004)
This management style leaves me with both high involvement and high control over my classroom. This style corresponds well with my personality, as I believe in creating a classroom that welcomes and nurtures all students, yet provides direct, explicit guidelines and consequences for students' actions.
My personality seeks to make learning a collaborative and enjoyable process. I love learning and forming partnerships within the classroom and want to share my excitement for learning with my students.
I believe the classroom should be a safe environment for all who enter and should create a climate, which fosters students' learning and places all individuals on a route to success.
I also believe effective classroom management should guide students to take ownership of their classroom behavior and their learning. Authoritative classroom management leads to students with greater independence, who become socially competent and responsible. (Wenning, 2004) Using this style of classroom management, I will strive to guide my students towards great accomplishments.
