Academic Success Plan
Whether it's in education, professional or otherwise, success is always our happiness in
everything we do. To achieve our goals, we need good planning and organization. Planning is
comparable to a compass, a tool that directs us to our destination. If we do not have good
planning, we will be like a lost person on his way. Wong, Wong, Rogers, and Brooks (2012) state
that classroom management is viewed as an organizational and structural process by effective
teachers. This organization that should take place the first two weeks of the class allows students
to learn and succeed in their school journey. Planning facilitates the task to the teacher and
student by establishing the class's routine, organization, structure, and expectations. I am
convinced that without planning, we will experience poor time management, and the teacher can
be overwhelmed by his work and the students' education.
Part 1: Classroom Management Plan
There are many ways to motivate and increase student engagement in classroom
activities. I can list a few: teamwork, valuing the student's culture, praising the student for
positive behavior or hard work, knowing the level and abilities of the student. Group work has
several advantages. It allows students to learn from each other by sharing their experiences or
knowledge. It strengthens their friendships and makes the class more enjoyable. Students who
work well or behave well in class also need to be recognized for their hard work. Therefore, it is
crucial to let the student know that his work is considered by praising him. This reinforces the
student's motivation and commitment. The student is also motivated when he is completing work
that is appropriate to his level. Work that is too hard or too easy for the student will tend to
demotivate the student. So, it's essential to differentiate as well.
