I chose the SPE 220 artifact “Classroom Behavior Management Plan” to align to Common Core Standard #10 because it collaborates with learners to clearly identify learning expectations through rules and procedures (as listed in the CBMP). It also shows collaboration with school professionals in listing a crisis plan and meets the needs of diverse learners in the consequences section. For example, this section offers options such as: choosing a “brain break” video.
SPE 220 was very helpful in expending my pedagogical knowledge by teaching me how to deal with different behaviors in a classroom. Having a crisis plan and an action plan are the two most effective and important parts of the plan. It really made me think about what consequences and rules I would implement in my own classroom. A statement of purpose, as well as procedures, are very important as they ground you and structure how a classroom will be run to align with metacognition. From a smooth day to a day with multiple challenges coming up, this assignment taught me that being prepared with a classroom behavior management plan is essential.
