Behavior and Classroom Management

• "Student-Led Parent/Teacher Conference Forms"

Use this document to guide-student-led conversations during parent/teacher conferences. Let students see this and prepare ahead of time.

• "Student Planner (Weekly)"

Use this document if your school or students do not have a provided planner. This is also useful for students who like to use a physical copy of a planner.

If you have access to an iPad and your students don't mind keeping track of their work digitally, I recommend the MyHomework Student Planner app.

• "Student Reflection Sheet (Decision-Making Sheet) v.1"

Use this when sending students to a "buddy room," so they have the opportunity to reflect on off-task behaviors.

• "Student Reflection Sheet v.2"

Use this when sending students to a "buddy room," so they have the opportunity to reflect on off-task behaviors.

• "Student Reflection Sheet v.3"

Use this when sending students to a "buddy room," so they have the opportunity to reflect on off-task behaviors. This form is a little more specific than the other options.

• "Digital Badges Template"

This color-coded template allows for teachers to assign badges to classes (or a homeroom) and see the overall class percentage of those who received it. These percentages can be compared, so classes can compete against each other for an end-of-unit, end-of-quarter, or end-of-semester reward, or classes can set a goal for themselves.

This could also act as a make-shift grade book.

• "Digital Badges" Folder

Badges can be used to focus on soft skills and can be used with the above "Digital Badges Template" Google Sheet.

• "Engagement Strategies"

Use this list of engagement strategies to get your students involved. Oftentimes, students act out when they are uninterested in what is being taught.

• "Mouse Clicks"

Use this document to track student behaviors each day. If students score a five or above, their numbers (or names) are drawn, and they are able to choose candy or some other treat. If the group scores a six, nine names are drawn. If they score a five and a half, six names are drawn, and if they score a five, three names are drawn.

• "Attitude - Openness (Emoji)"

Use this document to get students who are quiet to share information in class.

• "Attitude - School Safety (Likert Scale)"

Use this document to have students share how safe they feel when they are at school.

• "Beat the Teacher"

This classroom strategy pits students against the teacher, trying to get students to earn points for good behavior.

• "Bell-Ringer (Weekly Template) v.1"

Use this document to have students record their answers to bell-ringer questions on a weekly basis.

• "Bell-Ringer (Weekly Template) v.2"

Use this document to have students record their answers to bell-ringer questions on a weekly basis.

The students in my class seem to like this version more as it makes it easier to see the question while they write.

• CHAMPS

Use this document to display classroom volume and behavior expectations, which correspond to specific classroom activities.

• "Lesson Plan Template"

Use this template to create lesson plans. In the template, there are places for power standards, objectives, resources, academic vocabulary, engagement activities, advanced questioning, instructional strategies, assessments, and reflection.
