Classroom Managemernt Blog
My classroom management plan has changed so much since the summer. I don't call kids out for not having their supplies, I don't punish kids for not raising their hands, I don't give them punishwork basically except when they say shut up or call someone stupid.
I've gotten more creative in my punishments, I just do whatever I feel is the best at the time. For example, the other day, while playing a game, I had a student call a classmate a puta. I couldn't believe it, but I didn't want to bother the office (had some problems with support), so I made him stand in the corner while we played the game. It was very effective for him personally, as long as I made him face the wall. It was hard for him, but not humiliating. It was also very affective for the class. Basically, I do what I need to when the issue comes up.
