INTASC #_____5______

• Brief Description of Evidence:
     This artifact is an example of a classroom management plan that can be used in any classroom. The students would be allowed to make suggestions and revisions to the plan. The students will be involved in the structure of the classroom, its management and organization. There is a place on the management plan for the parents, teacher and student to sign. This is to ensure that all parties agree on the guidelines in the classroom, therefore they understand that there are consequences for certain actions.  

• Analysis of What I Learned:
     The most important thing that I learned while creating this management plan is that the students make a choice to behave in a certain way. It is necessary for the students to know that they are responsible for their behavior and they will be held responsible for the consequences that accompany certain behaviors. In addition, I learned that it is important for the students to feel that they are involved in the organization of the classroom. If the students contribute to the environment, they will be more likely to follow the guidelines and feel more satisfied with the classroom structure.     

• How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the INTASC Principle:
     This artifact demonstrates the ideas of classroom management because it involves the students in the creation of a management plan such as this one. It also takes into account the consequences for violating the set of classroom guidelines. It clearly states what is expected of the students. The management plan also takes into account the primary goals of the classroom and paves the way for a classroom to be successful.
