Explain how key elements of classroom management theories inform your personal philosophy to promote the following in students:a. Self-managementb. Self-efficacyMy personal philosophy for managing a classroom of diverse students has been developed through classroom lessons, studying various theorists, and personal observations. The following includes my philosophy of classroom management, procedures and routines, and how I will implement these in the classroom.
Theorists who have contributed to my beliefs include William Glasser, Jacob Kounin, and Albert Bandura with their theories about self-management and self-efficacy. Glasser defined the role of the teacher as a leader in the classroom rather than a “boss” (Glasser 1990). He felt that power should be given to the students in the classroom and shared by the teacher. This is the primary theory from which I have developed my own model of classroom management. The Choice Theory is based on the idea that students are responsible for their behaviors, and that each individual can control how he or she behaves. Self Management is promoted because the individual has control over how they act and think, with little control over how they feel or their physiology. The teacher can promote positive feelings with positive reinforcement. I feel that if students realize the power that they have over their own actions, they are more likely to be controlled in social situations both inside, and outside of the classroom. Kounin understood the importance of keeping a close watch on students. He felt that teachers should be able to see areas in which misbehaviors may arise, when students are bothered, and should be able to correct problem behaviors early on before they disrupt the classroom. By having set procedures and routines, as a teacher, I will be able to eliminate behavior problems before they arise by following this belief. Students will self-manage once the behaviors are learned because they will become familiar with what is expected of them. If a child is told to wash their hands upon entering the room on a daily basis, eventually they will wash them before being told. This is an example of self management. I think it is important to closely observe all of the students in the class. By praising positive or good behaviors that are observed, students will be more efficient in self management because they will strive to receive more praise on a regular basis. This will help promote desired actions from the student with fewer disruptions. It is also important to become familiar with each student on a personal level to better help in identifying problems when there are clear signs that they are about to arise. Kounin also believed that if students were engaged in their lessons, they would be less likely to misbehave. When students are engaged, they are concentrating on the lesson and activities (Kounin 1970). By finding ways to spark the interest of all students, I feel that I can make the lessons enjoyable enough for the students to want to be engaged.
Albert Bandura (1997) had major focus on Self-efficacy. He has described that if students do not perceive themselves to be competent in a task, they are less likely to engage in it. Assuming that this is true, if students are grouped with other students which they perceive as a higher ability than they have, they may feel as though they will fail and be less likely to engage to their fullest potential. On the flip side, if students are grouped with other students of similar ability, and they are able to actively participate in group discussions, and contribute to assignments, they will have a greater feeling of accomplishment leading to self-efficacy. I feel that it is important to understand what each students abilities are, as well as what motivates them in order to group them appropriately for assigned tasks.
The Self-Efficiency Survey: How to Organise Students to Self-Efficiency
In conclusion, we present a method to categorise students and students from different parts of the world who want to perform a task. Using this system, we find that those who are from Africa make up the largest group. These students and students from the UK are also the most confident and successful in an effort of identifying their goals and self-efficacy.
How will the self-efficacy of African students be assessed?
We believe that the goal should be to identify a student of European descent who can be said to be able to successfully manage and control his or her external environment and to have the capacity to deliver the tasks he or she is needed to, effectively. It should be done with the use of a questionnaire, using data on self-efficance and other relevant indicators.
Methodology
The data, for this research, were gathered among a sample of students from a group known as a self-Efficiency Survey. The participants (n=10,000) were classified into five broad groups: 4 European students, 11 Australian students, 1 North (African/Mauritian/Algerian), 1 British (non-European),”African”, (Middle Eastern/Middle East & North African languages, respectively), 2 European (Afrikaners, and non-Africans, respectively), 4 North (Europeans/Africans): “Eighty Percent are Africans, and the percentage is about 20% Asian”. For this group, the overall self-efficance of students for their ability to work in a non-European environment seems to be highest among students of different countries and groups of people. Since these students are most successful in their self-efficacy task to make them “fit” in the given environment (not only does they show very high self-efficacy, but also very high self-efficacy when they are doing their job correctly and so far, as a group of those studying at home).
To create this self-efficacy framework, we recruited 30 participants over the six academic year and used the same methodology as in the self-efficacy survey, with the subjects also giving a rating on a scale of 1 to 5 on the ‘Ease of accomplishing’. As far as we could tell, participants with the lowest score (I, 2 or 4) were not allowed to take part in any part of the work at home.
What are the main challenges?
While we have studied the self-efficacy of European students, we think that these are mainly questions on self-efficacy that are used as the criterion for evaluation of education. We suspect that when comparing to the self-efficacy of Africans and Africans, Africans may not perform well on the self-efficacy task satisfactorily and that most Africans may not successfully deal with themselves in non-European environments. This is true even if this is one of the most common reasons for African student difficulties. In addition, it is possible that African students may feel self-aggrandising when confronted with certain difficulties encountered by other African-Americans in their own country.
As a result, we must

2. Explain how key elements of classroom management theories inform your personal philosophy to encourage the following:a. Student motivationb. Student engagementThe teacher is responsible for creating lessons to engage students, no matter what the subject material involves. All students should be very clear on what the expectations are for both behavior and academic performance. If they are working within groups they should have the expectation that every group member is responsible for contributing to the assigned tasks and supporting one another in the process. Students also need to be aware of the time allotted to complete their assigned tasks. The teacher should continually assess that all students are on task by monitoring behavior and progress through observation. It is the teachers responsibility to intervene if a group is not managing themselves and allow them the opportunity to work it out or choose to work independently.
Lesson plans should engage students in learning, but also be enjoyable. Students should be able to give input for what is important to them. The students should also be a part of the decision-making processes. They should feel valued as members in the learning community. If students are engaged in a lesson that they find interesting, misbehaviors tend to be minimal or non-existent since theyre focused on the task at hand. The teacher will communicate what the expectations are of the students in regard to the quality of their work, their conduct during classroom activities, homework assignments, subject goals, and any other expectations that are reasonable for the grade level that is being taught.
In addition to clear expectations, the teacher will set up a reward system for both the class as a whole, as well as on an individual basis. The teacher will review the behaviors that will earn the class a reward along with a clear number of behaviors that will be needed. For example, the teacher may reward the class with a marble every time a positive behavior is observed that is completed by the entire class. This could be anything ranging from all homework assignments being completed on time by the entire class to all students being in their seat and ready to begin a new lesson within a time limit after changing classes. The teacher may require any number of marbles to earn a reward for the class. Once the class has earned the required number of marbles to earn a reward the teacher may suggest several rewards which are acceptable.
Beware the above phrasing on the subject of the class. The teacher is only going to reward the group that does homework and that does not work well. However, a positive response from the classroom may be needed to help them accomplish this goal. An example of this is not to ask them to be quiet and listen with the others, but to give them a chance to start acting and learn quickly. Once they are in this position they may be able to change the course of the class more easily.
Classrooms
Beware the above phrasing on the subject of the class. As far as the teacher and school are concerned the class can be a very dynamic and dynamic environment. But if it is being used for any reason as this is an isolated situation that can be solved at a given time, it could well be considered bad. For example, one could break the class or create a conflict of interest. This could be a group issue, for example, the principal may have to get rid of an older, lower quality group member, or they could lose control. In either situation a teacher may end up giving the class an opportunity to improve the situation in the most positive way that they think they are allowed. For instances, a child may become disruptive during some class activities and they may make it hard for the teacher to concentrate on the task.
A teacher may try to make these conflicts of interest worse by encouraging class members to become “leaders” that become the norm (or not). In such a situation the teacher may consider trying to motivate them to change classes in order to have less stress in class and make the school more efficient. This could be an example of the type of teaching that could be applied to different members of the class. In practice, this could be what might begin the teacher to start doing the less stressful job of “be a leader”. Another way of doing it is to place an agenda on something. For example, it may be something like a problem you’d like to solve in a problem group where the student might not be working to solve it the first time.
When doing a school project or meeting, the class will be likely focused on the individual aspects of the work. Thus, if the teacher fails to give the group assignments or group members all the issues that they asked for, the group will likely fall apart. They may even have to walk through the class and meet new students. Sometimes this can end up being problematic depending on what is happening in class.
The best way to approach this could be to change the assignment (i.e. one’s assignments are often the next-to-last students or a new group has joined) or assign all questions from a group to the class. This change could be difficult because there is not enough time to fix the problem. If only the group members actually work on the problem at the time, then the teacher may not have any idea what needs to be done during the first week of classes. In such situations a change in assignments would have a profound impact on the work of the teacher and the kids. This would help create problems as well as be an opportunity for teachers and students to achieve more efficient and productive work.
I can also write about the type of teacher that
