Classroom Policies

The primary goal of my classroom management plan is to preserve the learning environment for every student.

Classroom Rules:

You may engage in any behavior that does not create a problem for you or anyone else in the world.

If you find yourself with a problem, you may solve it by any means that does not cause a problem for anyone else in the world.

You may engage in any behavior that does not jeopardize the safety or learning of yourself or others. Unkind words and actions will not be tolerated.

Consequences for choosing to break the classroom rules:

Eye message from the teacher/proximity
verbal reminder of choices
1st logical consequence-- (recovery in room) removed from the situation so that student may have time to rethink choices. Further logical consequences may or may not be applied, depending on each individual situation.
2nd logical consequence--(recovery out of room) student will be provided an alternate recovery area in a different classroom and will be invited to return when they feel he or she may manage themself according to the class rule. Further logical consequences may or may not be applied, depending on each individual situation.
3rd logical consequence--(recovery period out of room) student will be provided an alternate recovery area with administrative involvement. Further logical consequences may or may not be applied, depending on each individual situation.

Rewards for exemplary behavior
