Consequence Ladder
1- Silent warning: this could look like making eye contact, pointing to what is supposed to be done, shaking head ect.
2- Private verbal warming and redirection. This looks like asking if you know what you should be doing? Do you need help? ect and restating the expectations.
3- Student will be asked to go to the reflection space. Students will stay in the reflection space for 10 minutes and fill out a behavior reflection. After 10 minutes the teacher will have a small check in with students before they rejoin the class.
4- Parents will be contacted and consequence will be issued
This consequence ladder may be altered during labs for safety. If unsafe behavior happens during a lab parents will be contacted. In extreme unsafe situations the student may be asked to leave.
Some behaviors such as cussing or harassment will come with an automatic consequence as per school policy.
Destruction or theft of classroom materials will be responsible for purchasing a replacement piece of equal value.
