Classroom Management

With middle school, keep it SIMPLE! Here is the long 

version of my classroom management style

Classroom Management

-Statement of Purpose:

Our classroom will bring students and teacher together for the

learning, creating, and appreciation of music. This will happen

in a safe, respectful, and cooperating environment to aid each

student in their quest for knowledge and skill.

-Rules:

1) Come on time and be prepared for class

2) Respect and care for one another.

3) Be responsible for your actions.

4) Respect our classroom and all instruments and equipment

-What to expect (A Love and Logic Classroom):

1) I will treat you with respect so you will know how to treat me

2) Feel free to do anything that doesn’t cause a problem for anyone else.

3) If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it

4) If you can’t solve the problem, or chose not to, I will do something

5) What I do will depend on the special person and the special situation

6) If you feel something is unfair, speak to me “I’m not sure that’s fair” and we will talk

-Class Entry:

1) Entry Respectfully 

2) Check board for instructions and agenda

3) Get out instruments

4) Prepare yourself, your instrument, and your music

5) Warm up

-Class Dismissal:

1) Do not pack up until told

2) Carefully put away instruments

3) Clean up your area

4) Wait for dismissal
