My classroom management philosophy is based upon Marzano and Love and Logic. Marzano’s use of engagement in the classroom encourages the students to increase their attention and focus, motivating them to practice higher-level thinking, and promote meaningful learning experiences. I will incorporate engagement to keep the students' interest at hand by using games, friendly controversy, and questioning strategies throughout the day. The use of Love and Logic in the classroom will allow each student to feel welcomed by enhancing their self-concept. I will incorporate Love and Logic through choices and encouraging each student to feel they are needed for the group. Each student will be respected, loved for who they are, and have the freedom to be who they want to be, furthering them to grow in their academic ability. They will build their self-concept positively by having independence to contribute to their growth as a student.
