2 WHAT Comprehensive Classroom Management Tool WHY The purpose of this tool is to provide educators with indicators of successful, evidenced-based classroom management practices. In an effort to assist teachers, new and veteran, with their classroom management needs, this tool was developed to be used in its entirety or broken down into pertinent sections, based on needs. First, it can be used in planning to help set up classroom management practices. It can also be used as a reflective tool. In addition, this document can be used for assisting teachers in instructional and classroom management practices. Another way of using this tool would be for coaching, modeling and/or mentoring. Maximize Structure and Predictability Physical Organization Schedules and Routines Transitions Post, Teach, Review, Monitor and Reinforce Expectations Positive Classroom Environment Culturally Responsive Classroom Actively Engage students in Observable Ways Big Ideas Review and Introduction of the Lesson Active Teaching I Do Guided Practice We Do Independent Practice You All Do/You Do Lesson Closure Student Engagement Explicit Corrective Feedback Instructional Match Pacing Specially Designed Instruction for Students Who Need Support to: o Independently Manage Behavior Requirements of Class o Communicate in Standard Ways o Independently Organize Self or Materials o Learn English as a New Language Use a Continuum of Strategies to Acknowledge Appropriate Behavior Use a Continuum of Strategies to Respond to Inappropriate Behavior WHO Teachers Instructional Coaches Behavior Specialists HOW Teachers can selfassess their current practices using this document as a planning and/or reflective tool. Instructional coaches can use this tool to guide coaching conversations for planning or reflection. It can serve as a tool for guiding lesson demonstration for modeling classroom management practices. Behavior Specialists can use this tool in trainings while aligning it with classroom management practices. Participants can use it for action planning and as a pre and posttest assessment of classroom management practices. 1
