Consequences

Disruptions will not be tolerated in my classroom. The following is a succession of consequences that will be carried out in class in the event of a disruption:

1. Give the student-in-question “the look.”

2. Move closer to student-in-question.

3. Take away disruptive item or verbally ask student-in-question to “stop” while still continuing with instruction.

4. Ask student-in-question to move to another seat and resume learning.

5. Ask student-in-question to go to “time-out” and complete “time-out” sheet.

6. Phone call to parent or other responsible party.

7. Administrative discipline (send student to the office).

Rewards

Praise- I will positively reinforce all of my students.

Positive Notes Home- I will write letters focusing on positive achievements within my room, to send home to the students’ parents/guardians.

Preferred Activity Time

Small group lunches in room with teacher- I will allow all of my students to have a chance to have a personal lunch with me, in small groups of about 3.

Calls home to parent- I will call parents home with examples of the achievements and progress their children are making; generally parents get negative calls, so this will be a great way to reinforce positives.
