Motivation Strategy
The issue of teacher motivation deserves specific study since the character of the instructor is important both in the lives of individual students and in the greater society (Stirling, 2014; UNESCO, 2015). Similarly, motivation also can increase cognitive process. According to Kong (2014), motivation can usually influence what and how the information is processed. Furthermore, motivation as stated by Bhoje (2015) will result in the enhancement of energy as well as the effort to do things. In the same vein, Suhag et al. (2016) assert that motivation can intensify the commencement and perseverance of events.
several motivations can be used to creat a classroom plan
Establish Clear Goals and Expectations
Focus on growth
Rewards and Recognition
Students’ Interests
(1). Set Clear Goals and Expectations: It’s less likely to expect students to have high motivation if they don’t fully understand what goals they are supposed to achieve. Therefore, it’s extremely important for teachers to let their students know clearly what they are expected to learn at the end of every lesson or unit. For example, students are being required to master 100 new English words to get get high score in final exam. Students may strive to study hard to achieve this expectation.
(2).Focus on growth
There is another way to improve students’ motivation is to focus on their growth and build
growth mindset. An overwhelming and seem unachievable task may frustrate students .
Teachers should set small and achievable goals for students to improve their self-
esteem .When students can see every step of success, they will be more motivated to have
strides toward tougher goal.
(3). Rewards and Recognition
Every student is eager to be recognized and get reward by their teacher.Most of them are greatly motivated by rewards or recognition. Therefore,setting up a reward system is a veryuseful methods to keep students’ motivation. However, teachers should choose different types of rewards based on the age of students.Tangible rewards does work to motivate students. In fact, recognition and praise also work to help students bulid sense of accomplishments.They will be motivated to keep up the excellent work.
(4).Students’ Interests
There is a saying that interest is the best teacher of student, this kind of method may improve students’ intrinsic motivation.For example, when I am teaching language art, I will find a book with interesting topic to attract students’ interest.we can see that learning is incorporated on students’ interests, their motivation is being boosted.Therefore, we can find out a favorite interest of those students to help them keep motivation

School Policies
School policies are critical ways to provide rules and guilines that implement school procedures and embody values of school.They are typically established by the school administration to ensure a safe ,inclusive, and productive learning environment.However, in some extent, certain school policies may have influence on teachers’ strategies of building their classroom management plan. Here are some school policies that may impact classroom management:

Discipline and Behavior Policies
Inclusion and Special Education Policies
Attendance and Tardiness Policies

In a conlusion, it’s essential for teachers to have good knowledge of school policies and align with classroom management plans to support the overall policies of school.
Here are some school policies that may impact classroom management
1. Discipline and Behavior Policies: In order to set the expectations for students to conduct and behave properly,school-wide discipline policies outline the consequences for misbehaviour which include procedures for addressing bullying, disciplinary measures and disruptive behaviour. These policies should be taken into account before setting classroom
management plan to maintain a positive and orderly learning environment.
2. Inclusion and Special Education Policies: These policies are set to help students with
disabilities or special needs,such as accommodations, individualized education plan,or behavioral intervention plan. I should take into consideration the special needs of diverse learners and make sure their inclusion and engagement.

The rules that I have applied for better management of class
Class rules are essential for better management of class, rules are too strict or too flexible will not result in good classroom management.Depending on my teaching styles and the purpose of what I want in class. Here are some key rules that The rules that I have applied for better management of class below:
Based on the past teaching experience, I set up the classroom rules above, the students have been consulted on these rules and agree to obey them to form a better studying environment.

Apply Effective Discipline Strategies
It’s inevitable to see poor behaviour and discipline occur in the classroom. Worrying about it consistently is useless. I tend to focus on how to deal with it with effective discipline strategies.Students need to realize that the rules are not there to make their study more complicated but to help them more succeed in class .
Be respectful of classmates, teachers
Show your respect to teachers, classmates and people around you at all times.Using appropriate language and well-manner should be taught by teachers .Being a kind person to help people in need. In such way, we can create a warm and welcomed learning environment.
The rules that I have applied for better management of class
Listen to the teacher and follow instructions
During the course of class, pay attention on what are being taught without disruption and disturb other students surrounding.Listen to the teacher or student who is speaking carefully.It’s extremely important for every student to promote high productive learning environment.
No food or drink, except water
Drinking or eating food in the classroom may be spilled here and there. It will also distract from the class.Therefore, food or beverage is not permitted without allowance by teachers.
Since I apply these management plan, I feel easier to manage my classroom during the course of class.Students have developed awareness of what they shoud do or not when they enter the classroom.It’s very useful to improve teaching productivity.
To ensure smoother student movement and learning, here are some classroom procedures I have considered implementing:
1. Establish procedures for how students enter and leave the classroom.They should learn to
enter and leave quietly without disturbance. Outline procedures for how students should exit
the classroom,ensuring an orderly transition.
2. Determine how attendance will be taken,such as using a sign-in sheet or a digital
system,Establish procedures for reporting absences,late arrivals or early departures,including
any required documentation.
3. Establish daily or weekly routines to provide structure and predictability. This may
include procedures for turning in assignments, distributing and collecting materials, group
work, and independent study time. Consistent routines help students develop good habits and
maximize instructional time.
4. Set procedures for classroom discussions and student participation. Establish guidelines
for active listening, taking turns, asking questions, and offering constructive contributions.
Encourage students to engage in respectful dialogue and provide opportunities for everyone
to participate.
5. Outline expectations for keeping the classroom clean and organized. Teach students how
to maintain their personal workspace and encourage them to take responsibility for tidying upafter themselves. Establish procedures for organizing materials, returning books, and
maintaining a clutter-free learning environment
Rewards and Recognition
The rewards help students reinforce the classroom rules and build up good manners. Appropriate rewards can help teachers to promote teaching productivity.Here are some reasonable rewards I have incorporated into my classroom management plan.
1. Put a small gumball machine and use it as an opportunity to get prizes. Students with good behaviour , raise hand to answe questions positively, help students learn better will get a chance to get a small candy
2. Verbal Praise: One of the simplest and most effective rewards is verbal praise. Recognize and acknowledge students’ efforts, progress, and accomplishments through specific and genuine compliments. Verbal praise can boost students’ self-esteem, reinforce positive behavior, and create a positive classroom atmosphere.
3. Stickers and Tokens: Stickers and tokens are tangible rewards that can be given to students for demonstrating desired behavior, achieving goals, or completing tasks. Students can collect these stickers or tokens and redeem them for small prizes or privileges later on.
Rewards and Recognition
4. Certificates and Awards: Recognize students’ achievements and milestones with certificates or awards. These can be given for academic excellence, improvement, good behavior, or other notable accomplishments. Celebrating students’ achievements publicly in
front of their peers can be motivating and build a sense of pride.
5. Privileges and Special Responsibilities: Granting privileges or special responsibilities can serve as rewards for students. For example, allowing a student to be the class helper for the
day, choosing a preferred activity, or earning additional free time can be motivating and reinforce positive behavior.

Communication
When communicating to the administration, learners and parents about plan or disciplinary rules. Here are several form to deliver communication.
Parent-Teacher Meetings
Website or blog
Schools maintain websites or blogs where they can share general information about the school, such as the mission and vision, staff profiles, academic programs, extracurricular activities, and important dates. These online platforms can also serve as a means of communication by providing announcements, news, and resources.
Online platform
School Website and Newsletters
Schools often send out newsletters or regular email updates to parents, students, and administrators. These communications can include important announcements, upcoming events, curriculum updates, reminders, and relevant resources. They help keep everyone informed about school happenings and provide a platform for sharing information.
Regular parent-teacher conferences provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions about a student’s progress, strengths, areas for improvement, and goal setting. These face-to-face meetings allow parents and teachers to share information, ask questions, and work together to support the student’s educational journey.
.
Many schools use online platforms or parent portals to provide access to student grades, attendance records, assignments, and other relevant information. These platforms allow parents and students to stay updated on academic progress and communicate with teachers.
5. Schools may have official social media accounts on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to share updates, showcase student achievements, and engage with the school community. Social media can be an effective tool for quick communication and fostering a
sense of community.

classroom procedures
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a classroom management plan,several key aspects can be considered:
Measure the level of active participation and interest shown by students. Are they actively involved in the learning process?Do they willing to contribute ideas,ask questions, and seek opportunities to further their understanding. We should consider the student engagement.
Assess whether students are achieving the desired learning outcomes or goals set in the plan, Are they demonstrating a deep understanding of the subject matter?Are they able to apply their knowledge and skills effectively.Learning outcomes is one of the evaluation of plan.
Collaboration and Communication: Assess the degree of collaboration and communication among students. Do they actively engage in discussions, group projects, and peer feedback? Are they able to effectively communicate their ideas and perspectives?
Reflection and Metacognition: Consider whether students are engaging in reflective practices, such as self-assessment and metacognition. Are they reflecting on their learning process, identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement
Teacher Role and Support: Evaluate the role of the teacher in facilitating student-driven learning. Are they providing guidance, resources, and mentorship to support students’ learning? Do they offer timely feedback and create a supportive learning environment?
By assessing these factors, educators can gain insights into the effectiveness of the student- driven learning plan and make adjustments to optimize the learning experience for students. It’s important to remember that evaluation should be ongoing and adaptable to the evolving needs of the learners.
