Problem Prevention Plan Instructions

The Problem Prevention Plan will help you use your knowledge of effective classroom management. Develop a 2–3-page paper that explains your plans for the week as if it were for the first week of school. Section your paper by using the following headings:

Introduction

List of Rules

Appropriate Classroom Environment

Conclusion

Introduce your paper and describe the make-up of the school and class. Be sure to include the following: school setting, whether it is a public or private school, grade level and/or subject, class size, socio-economic status, whether the class consists of regular or special education students or is an inclusion class, if special equipment is needed, if there are ESOL students, a second teacher, etc.

Then discuss the importance of structure and rules in the classroom, list the rules, and describe how/who will be involved in making the rules and why. Discuss appropriate positive reinforcements and consequences.

Next, discuss what steps the teacher should take to create a positive and effective learning environment for all students. Throughout your paper, provide support of your discussions from developmental theorists such as Piaget, Erickson, Yvogtsky, etc. that correspond with your student’s stages. Also be sure to integrate a Christian perspective that is supported with scriptures.

Keep in mind that this information will be useful in developing your personal, customized learning theory for the final paper of the course during Module/Week 8.

Your Problem Prevention Plan must be in current APA format and include a cover page and reference page.
