As a future teacher and future parent, one thing I will want to make sure that it happens, is that my children are in a safe and protected enviornment at school. I will do everything I can do keep my children safe, and therefore as a teacher it will also be my responsibility to see that the children in my classroom especially are kept safe as well. So, then the question would be: What constitutes a "safe" classroom enviornment ? Well, according to M. Lee Manning and Katherine T. Bucher's book on Classroom Management, a safe school is a place where the business of education can be conducted in a welcoming environment free of intimidation, violence, and fear. I want my classroom to be a safe and welcoming environment where children feel comfortable and want to be there.
As a teacher one way that I would model safe behaviors, is to have classroom rules that my students know and obey. I will also make sure that I apply those rules in my classroom and if they are at any time broken, then there will be consequences of that choice that was made. I will respect my students and in return expect them to respect me. I will model and teach my students to respect each other and each other's belongings and space. I will teach the students to solve conflicts without making the problem worse.
The establishment of a safe classroom environment is extremely important to my classroom management plan. In order for the students to learn you must make sure that they have a safe and comfortable learning environment. One way I will impliment safety into my classroom is that I will not leave my class unattended even if it is for a minute or two. If I must leave the classroom, I will make sure another teacher knows and can oversee the classroom until I get back. I will not allow or put up with bullying or any other form of violence or misbehavior. Without a safe classroom environment, children will not be able to learn as effectively as they could. As a teacher, I will model appropriate behavior and hope that my students will follow by example.
As it was stated in the paragraph above, learning is dependent on a safe classroom environment. If there is violence, bullying, or conflicts in the classroom then the children will not be able to learn in that type of environment. Children should feel comfortable and safe at school. They should be able to focus on learning and doing assigments in class. If other outside things are happening in the classroom, it will only hinder the children from learning. Having a safe classroom environment is an essential part of a child being able to learn and pay attention in class. As teachers, we should do everything in our power to make sure that our students have the best possible learning environment that we could possibly give them.
