Classroom Managed Behaviors

Classroom Behavioral Expectations and Consequences

Teachers are the first line of support in guiding student behavior. All classrooms will implement proactive strategies, such as clear expectations, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement.

When misbehavior occurs, teachers will address it using the following progressive steps:

• Verbal redirection or reminder of expectations

• Proximity control and non-verbal cues

• Loss of privileges or class incentives

• Reteaching of appropriate behaviors

• Parent/guardian contact

• Classroom-based reflection or behavior contracts

Repeated or more serious misbehaviors may result in removal from the classroom.

In-Class Behavioral Consequences and Supports

Teachers are expected to implement classroom strategies for minor behaviors to promote a calm and positive learning space. These may include:

• Positive Reinforcement (praise, rewards, token systems)

• Non-Verbal Cues (hand signals, proximity)

• Behavior Charts or Checklists

• Movement Breaks / Flexible Seating

• Think Sheets or Reflection Time

• Restorative Conversations or Apologies

• Classroom Agreements or Contracts

• Check-in/Check-out Systems

Students should understand that behavioral expectations are consistent across all settings and that they will be supported in learning from mistakes.
