My Classroom

Management Plan McDonald, 2019 p. 265 Consider the following three aspects: Philosophy – the study of the fundamental nature of

knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when

considered as an academic discipline. Theory – a supposition or a system of ideas

intended to explain something, especially one

based on general principles independent of the

thing to be explained Practice – the actual application or use of an idea,

belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating

to it Positive Learning

Behaviour:

Your personal

management plan Letter to Families As an appendix, prepare a one-page document which communicates the nature of

your design and its merits to families. Your letter should be clear, accessible, and engaging. It should contribute to

building/sustaining strong and respectful relationships with families. This component of the assignment is not included in the word count. Things to consider:

The letter needs to be on one page. The letter needs to make clear the nature of your design and how it is of benefit to families Write as if you have not met the families – this is your first introduction.

Use accessible language – avoid acronyms or colloquialisms Make the letter engaging Use language that makes clear to the reader that you are respectful of the parents and willing to

engage them in their child’s learning

Ethical and Professional Requirements Consider weaving these into your assignment and perhaps a short section that outlines

that this was done and what was considered. The path provides wheelchair access (addressing ACECQA’s National
