Classroom Procedures and Diversity 

Establishing classroom procedures and routines helps to optimize time for instruction and allows the learning environment to operate efficiently. Students and teachers need to have procedures for everything, based on the needs of the particular class.

For this assignment, identify a class of students in terms of grade level, K-8, and number of students in the class. Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation for the first day of school that will demonstrate how you will introduce expectations, processes, and diversity to your class.  

Your digital presentation must include three parts:

Part 1 – Introduction

  • How to introduce yourself to your students
  • How students will introduce themselves to each other
  • How the expectations, procedures, and behavior management will be introduced
  • How the procedures and expectations will be enforced, along with possible consequences

Part 2 – Expectations for Policies and Procedures 

Choose five policies and procedures, applicable to your chosen grade level, from the list below or of your own, and describe how to implement them in your future classroom:

  • Entering the classroom
  • Using the restrooms
  • When students may go to the trash cans
  • The use of technology in the classroom
  • Turning in classwork and homework
  • Talking to others in the classroom
  • Gaining student attention
  • Transitions

Part 3 – Incorporate Diversity 

  • How to address diverse needs in your class (e.g., a student in a wheelchair, a student does not speak English, a student who does not celebrate traditional holidays, a student who cannot eat certain foods because of religion, a student who is a different race than the rest of the class, etc.)
  • How to instructionally support various diverse needs, including language, family backgrounds, skills, and abilities in your classroom
  • How to develop a culture in your classroom that values each students’ diverse background
  • How to establish and maintain a positive and collaborative relationship with families.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Clinical Field Experience C: Behavior Management and Diversity 

Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Obtain permission from your mentor teacher to observe another classroom in order to see various classroom management styles.

For this field experience, observe another grade level or different classroom in the same grade level as in previous field experiences. Collaborate with your mentor teacher about behavior management and incorporation of diversity in the classroom.

Part 2: Reflection

In 500-750 words, summarize and reflect on the three field experiences. In your summary, compare and contrast the three classrooms, answering the following questions:

  • How were the behavior expectations different in the three classrooms?
  • Was the management of each classroom the same or different?
  • Did the teachers have different expectations for their students?
  • What adjustments would you have made in each classroom?

Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
