Description of behavior reduction strategies and how they will be utilized..
Using the “Class Profile” document, choose a grade level and develop a comprehensive classroom and communication management plan. Many of your prior assignments can be complied and revised, based on your instructor’s feedback, tocomplete this benchmark. Your comprehensive classroom- and communication-management plan should include the following elements:
1. Introduction with purpose statement for creating a classroom and communication management plan and table of contents.
2. Drawing of your classroom arrangement.
3. Description of five classroom routines and how you will teach them, including the use of technology.
4. Description of three classroom expectations and rules and how you will teach them.
5. Description of behavior reduction strategies and how they will be utilized.
6. Description of how you will communicate with and establish and maintain positive relationships with families.
7. Description of how data related to student behaviors and responses will be collected and used to inform classroom-management practices.
8. An overall intent to create a positive, student-centered, supportive learning environment.
Your plan should be supported by research.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required.
