Two Approaches to Classroom Management

Reflection

       Each of the classroom management strategies that we discussed, “Love and Logic” and “Discipline with Dignity” are approaches that I would like to implement in my classroom because they match my ideal teaching style. I know that one of my strengths is building relationships with people and working with students one-on-one. Both of these approaches emphasize the importance of building connection and trust with your students. I hope to make connections with my students starting from the very first day of class when I get my own classroom. From there, I feel that creating a classroom management plan by taking crucial aspects from each management approach will help me create the ideal classroom environment for me as a teacher. Personally, I believe that these two management strategies will serve my students really well and give them just the right balance of cooperation with adults and independence that they need to acquire self-motivation and development as a learner.
