A classroom management plan is a contract you make with your students that promises you will protect their right to learn and enjoy school without interference.

And once it’s presented to your class, you’re bound by this contract to follow it every minute of every day and without exception.

Otherwise, if you don’t, you’re breaking your word—and your students’ trust.

A classroom management plan has two, and only two, purposes:

1. To state the rules of the classroom.

2. To state exactly what will happen if those rules are broken.

That’s it.

Classroom management for me seems to be difficult. I’m certainly not awful at it, but I bet that I spend over half my energy thinking about it or dealing with it. There must be an easier way. Anyway, this is one of the few blogs I’ve seen devoted to it - there must be more - leave me a comment if you know any.
