Behavior Plan

Music Room Expectations

• Make wise Choice - Make choices that help you and your classmates do the right thing

• Use Kind Words - Use language that would build up, rather than tear down, your classmates

• Speak... When Asked - Speak only when you have permission

• Involve Yourself - Give your best effort and participate in all music class activities

• Care for the Room - Take care of the classroom and everything you see in it

Consequences

If you choose not to follow the Music Room Expectations, there are consequences as tiered below

• Verbal Reminder - This is simply a reminder to follow the rules. I will give 1 or 2 reminders before there are any other consequences

• Strike 1 or 2 - If I need to remind a student of the rules more than twice, I will hand out Strike 1, then Strike 2 if the behavior still does not change

• Rest Area - If I need to hand out Strike 3, that student will move to the Rest Area (time out) to reflect before joining the rest of the class again. I may ask students to reflect on their choices by writing notes to explain their actions and why those actions are not appropriate for music class.

• Call home - If a student continues to disregard classroom expectations, even after returning from the Rest Area, I will call home to explain the choices made and why they disregarded the Music Room Expectations.
