How to Incorporate School Activities in a Classroom Management Plan

Teachers rely on classroom management plans to act as a guide and a contract between them and their students. The classroom management plan states the teacher's intentions and philosophies about education, describes the atmosphere of the classroom, lists the goals for the classroom, identifies the rules that the students are to follow, explains what the consequences are for not adhering to the rules, and talks about miscellaneous issues that the teacher deems important. When designing a classroom management plan, incorporate a section about school activities so that faculty, parents and students can see what your thoughts are on projects outside of a lecture-based format.

Instructions

    • 1

      Make a heading labeled School Activities within the body of your classroom management plan. Select a place for the section that is relevant to the section that proceeds and follows it.

    • 2

      Explain why you are committed to encouraging school activities. Talk about the benefits that activities offer students, how they impact their learning, what the students can expect to gain from the activities and how this falls in line with your teaching philosophy.

    • 3

      List the types of school activities you are interested in planning. You might include field trips to museums or historical sites so that students are exposed to authentic artifacts to enhance their knowledge of a subject. Or, you can say that you will host art activities to teach students new information through hands-on projects.

    • 4

      Discuss how often the school activities will be incorporated into the classroom curriculum. Explain your reasoning for the frequency. For instance, you may write that you will host one school activity for every new quarter of the school year, or that each new lesson is assigned its own activity to jump-start the students' interest.

    • 5

      Clarify how the teacher participates in the school activities, and whether students' parents are involved as well. Some school activities may call on the parents for their financial contributions, their time to volunteer and help out, or just to participate as spectators.

    • 6

      Reread your section on school activities within your classroom management plan. Make sure it paints an adequate picture of what you envision your activities to be like.
