Classroom Management Plan
_____________________________________________________________________________

We can’t think of a more rewarding or challenging career than working with 
children in a school setting. However, as you can imagine, having up to 60 
individual personalities working together can at times lead to conflicts.  
We are sure that you agree with us when we say that implementing a specific 
discipline plan and making that plan known and understood by all concerned 
can prevent most issues from occurring and/or escalating.
The format for our classrooms is a community-oriented program. In order to 
ensure that the community runs well, students and teachers must comply with 
certain obligations.  The following are the obligations for all members of 
our community along with examples of what that obligation looks like.

Be prepared:  being on time, getting a good night’s rest, eating breakfast, 
having sharpened pencils, correcting pen, highlighter, paper, an appropriate 
binder/folder, completed homework, and a good attitude.

Be respectful: respecting yourself and others, respecting others’ opinions, 
attempts at answers, religion, race, and/or gender.  Each person is 
responsible to return borrowed property to the owner in the same condition 
as it was borrowed.   All members of the community will listen attentively 
and respectfully without interruption.  Interruptions will not be tolerated.

Be resolute: Determination towards a job well done is a great way to reach 
intrinsic rewards.  It is very important that students learn the importance 
of follow-through, whether it is accepting consequences for actions (good or 
bad), or completing what you started-never giving up.  All members of the 
community are expected to uphold their name in this community.  And the best 
way to do this is to be a person others can count on and trust.

Do your very best:  Students are expected to participate and attempt to get 
the right answer.  Be a risk taker.  It is better to try and fail, then not 
to try at all.  Students’ primary focus is on their own individual growth as 
a person.  This includes being responsible for ones own actions.

Incentive Program
The best “things” we give our children are not “things.”  At this point in a 
child’s development many are starting to revert back into their inner self.  
As children grow and mature it can be a very difficult and overwhelming time 
for the entire family.  Therefore, we encourage you to really use positive, 
sincere, words when rewarding your child.  You will see us do this many 
times and in many ways.  Working together we can help your child by 
continuing to build on the sense of self pride, self esteem, and self 
confidence we know you have already established.

In order to provide a well-rounded experience for your child, there are 
three different types of reward.  They are individual, small group and whole 
class.  On an individual basis, students can earn teacher specific and 
sincere praise, Class Cash, intrinsic pride, and even raffle tickets.  In 
small groups students can earn sincere and specific group praise and/or 
group points towards becoming “Star Table.” And as a whole class, the class 
is able to earn specific and sincere praise, as well as, credit towards 
various class incentives.

Class Cash:  For behavior that is exemplary and on tasks, students will earn 
Class Cash.  They will establish and maintain a checkbook and savings 
account.  There will be a monthly auction where STUDENTS provide the items. 
Students can also be fined individually or as a whole for a violation of 
school and classroom rules.

Raffle Tickets:  Tickets earned by students for various great behaviors.  
Raffle tickets are then tossed into a box and on Fridays the drawing is 
held.  Students win various prizes.  If any parents have the desire to send 
in items-it is greatly appreciated.

Star Table:  From time to time students are made into teams.  These teams 
will work together to earn the title of “Star Table.”  With that title, the 
winning team is allotted special privileges for the entire following week.

Consequences:

As students are rewarded for appropriate participation students are  
also held accountable for NOT following the class/school obligations.  To 
ensurea fair and consistent program is developed, the following steps will 
be utilized:

1st Warning 	Verbal warning	Clear explanation of desired school behavior 
is given. 
 
2nd Warning
“pull” behavior card to green	Verbal.	Teacher verbally, restates 
expectations

3rd Warning
“pull” behavior card to yellow	Verbal and Loss of 1 recess	Isolation in 
another room and a time out paper is completed-student returns to class when 
the paper is completed.  Teacher/student conference @ lost recess

4th & FINAL Warning
“pull” behavior card to red	Verbal and Loss of 2 additional recesses 
Removal from class to another room for rest of that period.  Call parent 
ASAP- for phone conference

5th Offence	Office	Referral for Suspension

If behavior is endangering others, the student will be immediately 
removed from the class and sent to office.

Restroom policy: During the school day, there are specific times for 
students to take care of their physical needs. Students who find it 
necessary to use the restroom during class time will repay the time out of 
class, during the morning recess.  If your child has a specific medical 
need, PLEASE do not hesitate to let me know, and this plan will be revised.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
