Classroom management models provide a foundation for your classroom management plan. By basing your classroom management plan on research-based models, you will foster student learning by proactively establishing clear expectations and guidelines, creating consistency, and promoting positive behaviors. Approaches to classroom management guide decision-making to meet and support learning for all students.

There are several excellent research-based classroom management models, including but not limited to: Character Education, PBIS, Fred Jones/Incentive Charts, Canter Model/Assertive Discipline, StopLight Approach, and Glasser Model/Choice.

Research and select three classroom management models that are appropriate for early childhood classrooms and create a graphic organizer that can be provided to other early childhood teachers. Include the following in your graphic organizer for each classroom management model:

• Name and description of the model
• How the model reinforces positive behavior
• How the model provides opportunities for redirection , teachable moments, and/or logical consequences for discouraged behaviors
• Strategies provided within the model that can be used in the classroom
• Strategies provided within the model that families can use at home for behavior support and learning

Support your graphic organizer with a minimum of 2-3 resources.
