Management Plan
Classroom Management & Teaching Style:
Art classrooms are often organized chaos. I believe that if you are an organized teacher, your students will be organized as well. Art is all about collaboration and bouncing ideas off of each other so there will not be many times that my classroom is silent. I encourage students to talk with others and to critique in-progress work to produce the best outcome for their work of art. I want to create an environment that is both friendly and professional for my students. I believe that giving students the freedom to work at their own pace teaches them responsibility. They are now required to plan for themselves and make sure things get accomplished. I am always willing to make alterations and different accommodations for students that need extra help.

Classroom Set-up:
Daily classroom routine: I envision everyday starting the same way. I believe that if you can establish a routine for students, they will be more likely to follow it. I will start every class by standing outside my door when students walk in. I like to shake every student’s hand when they walk into the door so that they know I care about them and that I saw them. This is my own way of taking visual attendance and checking in with each student individually. From there, I will introduce any what we will be doing that day and give them a schedule of events for the day. Students will then be released to begin working. Class will end every day with a thorough cleanup of the classroom. I will then make myself available to students during and after class if they need to talk with me.
Personal routines:
I am a very organized person so I like to have lesson and unit plans done ahead of time. My own personal routines will be completing lesson plans at least 2 weeks in advance. Although those plans may change, I like having them prepared so that I know the direction I need to be heading to. I will create weekly schedules for students that I will post online as well as in the classroom so that students can keep track of what we will be doing and when assignments are due. I will also prepare demonstrations and presentations in advance so that I am prepared and holding myself to the same standards that I hold my students to.
Positive & Negative Feedback:
Positive feedback is something that is very important to me. I want my students to know that I am noticing them and that I care about what they are doing. I have learned through my education courses that it is not ok to simply say “I like that,” or “that’s looking really good.” Phrases such as these are meaningless to students. You need to acknowledge what they are doing by saying things like, “I really like the choices of color you made, it reminds me of the ocean.”
Negative feedback is something that is difficult for me. I do not want to hand out consequences. I want students to realize that I have high expectations and that they need to follow those expectations to be in my class. If I have to deal with a disciplinary issue in class, I will first talk to the student one-on-one to assess what is going on. I will then ask the student to reflect on what happened and if there is anything I can do to help them through it. If the problems persist, I will take further action and eventually pull in higher authorities to help deal with it.
