Artifact # 8
Classroom Management Project- an evaluation of how classroom management and physical settings affect the learning environment.
Context
This project was created during my undergraduate studies at Appalachian
State University.
Impact
Evaluating classroom management is useful in many ways. I learned
effective management procedures and the variety of ways to physically set
your classroom to create a valuable learning environment. Exploring
these topics gives me a good idea of how my own classroom will operate.
Alignment
It is imperative that classrooms be set in a way that is conducive
to learning. The classroom becomes the primary learning environment
for students. During this project, I learned settings of the
classroom must support active student involvement and learning (Tech
Comp 12.4). Discipline, classroom organization, and routines
are essential to a productive learning environment. Communication
is necessary in every classroom, and it comes in many differnt forms.
By setting routines, effective disciplinary action, and overall classroom
organization, communication is taking place nonverbally which is conducive
to an effective learning environment (INTASC
