All class expectations are
established at the beginning of the school year with the children. We
develop and agree upon these expectations together. A poster of our
"constitution" is created and signed by all students in the class. This
process gives all students a voice in establishing classroom
expectations and that creates a feeling of ownership for the students.
Consequences for not meeting our decided expectations are also
discussed.
Our 2007-2008 Constitution
As written by Mrs. Dunn's class on
August 20, 2007, so that we may stay safe and learn. We hereby agree to:
Come
happy and ready to learn
Be
respectful and responsible,
and accept the consequences of our
actions
Be
trustworthy and honest
Be
open minded
Create
a calm, safe, and peaceful learning environment
I feel that it is equally
important to reward students with good behavior in order to draw
attention to the appropriate behavior. It is my goal to promote the
appropriate behaviors from all students to create an inviting, warm
atmosphere from the very first day of school to the very last day.
Because each member of the classroom is an individual with his or her
own backgrounds and expectations, I will use various and individual
methods of managing student behavior.
What if expectations are
not being met?
Here is a general
guideline:
1st offense:
verbal warning
2nd offense:
student contract to be
signed by parents and 5 minutes of free play from 2nd recess
3rd offense:
parent called and no free
play during 2nd recess
4th offense:
visit to the principal
The Behavior Management Plan is subject
to change at the teacher's discretion. This is a tool
used in managing student behavior which may be
adjusted based on the progress and success of the
students' behavior management skills.
