Behavior Plan

Classroom Behavior Plan

In our classroom we will use individual behavior trackers to encourage positive behavior! Students get to color in a symbol/picture when they display STAR behavior. They will work to see how many they can get colored in, and will be able to trade these in for rewards.

When negative behaviors arise, I will have a private conversation with the student to discuss their behavior. Minor behaviors will be handled in the classroom. If the behavior continues and is not stopping/improving, students will fill out reflection forms and I will contact the parent(s). A CDR could be given in this situation. For major behaviors administration may be contacted.

(See the consequences section below, under school wide expectations, for more information)

Consequences

We discourage inappropriate behavior in our school and classrooms. The following guidelines will be followed for discouraging inappropriate behaviors:

● If a student does not follow one of our school or classroom expectations, he/she will receive a verbal warning and will be re-taught the desired behavior.

● If the inappropriate behavior continues, the student will receive a Classroom Discipline Report (CDR). All CDRs will be written by the teacher in the classroom and sent home to the parent. The consequences for a CDR may be (list some possibilities here. Examples may be silent lunch, 5 minutes of structured recess, removal from the group).

● Three minor referrals that occur over the course of a month or one severe offense will result in a office referral. All office referrals will be sent to the office to be seen by a principal and consequences will be administered by the principal.
