About this classroom management planner

A classroom management plan sets out how your classroom runs before problems arise: a few clear rules, the routines students practise (entering, transitions, handing in work), how you’ll recognise good behaviour, a calm ladder of responses to misbehaviour, attention signals and how you’ll keep families informed.

New teachers often need one for training, and experienced teachers refresh theirs each year.

What’s on the page

  • A header with teacher, class, year.
  • Labelled boxes for Classroom rules, Key routines, Recognising good behaviour, Consequence ladder, Attention signals, Communicating with families, Supporting individual needs, Notes.

Tips

  • Keep rules to 3–5, phrased positively.
  • Teach and practise routines in the first two weeks.
  • Aim for far more praise than correction.

Made to fit, then printed

Everything on this classroom management planner can be changed before you print: the title, the colour, the paper size and orientation. The page is drawn on your device and nothing is uploaded. Find more printables.

Frequently asked questions

What’s a consequence ladder?

A sequence of increasing, predictable responses (reminder, warning, time away, call home) applied calmly and consistently.

What paper size should I print on?

Choose A4 or US Letter before downloading, and print at 100% or “Actual size”. Portrait and landscape layouts are both available.

Can I remove the atifo.app line at the bottom?

Yes. Switch off “Show atifo.app credit” in the Look section and the PDF has no branding at all.

Can I fill in the classroom management planner on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Switch on “Fillable PDF” before downloading and the PDF gets typing boxes and tick boxes you can use in most PDF apps. Or print it and use a pen.

Will it print well in black and white?

Yes. The layout uses light fills and clear lines that print cleanly in grey. Choose the “Grey” colour to save colour ink entirely.
