I believe that classroom management should be a system that optimizes student learning. Classroom management should be a cooperative agreement between the teacher and student in which each share responsibility for ensuring its success. In my opinion, students and teachers should work together to decide on the expected behavior that should be seen in the classroom, so that everyone agrees and is on the same page. Once these procedures and rules are established, it is the students' job to meet these expectations, and it is the teacher's job to facilitate and continue to guide students and keep them on track. Thus, it is a partnership, not a dictatorship. I believe that the cooperative model is the most effective, and thus this is what my philosophy aligns with most. Classroom management systems should be adjusted according to the needs of the students, and according to what is working and what is not. It is a continuing growth process.
My peer's words connected perfectly with my model. Terms such as, "Working together," "cooperative" and "community" is exactly what I think my classroom should look like. I believe that my model demonstrated this community with the teacher and the students all connected in a circle, in a cooperative system. This is the system that I would implement in my own classroom, and these words that my classmates used to describe my model is how I would like my students to feel in the classroom.
