Behavior+Management+Plan

I know that a Behavior Management Plan is a critical piece in having a successful and well-managed classroom so, in my future (anticipated Elementary) classroom, this is how it will look like:

= Behavior Management Plan =

Students are reminded of appropriate behavior by visual and verbal means as well as role-modeling appropriate behavior and through the use of reinforces, such as smiley faces. In my classroom, I will have a Behavior Chart with 5 numbered sections. Students each have their name on a magnet. At the beginning of each day, all students get a fresh start in the middle on number 3 (Good Start) and may move up or down based on their behavior. My goal will be to correct inappropriate behavior by recognizing the students exhibiting appropriate behavior. Most often when a child’s name is moved up, those not making good choices will change their behavior to also try to be recognized. When this does not work, students will be given a verbal warning identifying which expectation they were not following. If the behavior is not corrected, the child will move his/her name down a number. The chart is as follows:

5. Awesome! 4. Great! 3. Good Start 2. Verbal Warning 1. Think Time

*If misbehavior continues there will be a loss of privileges AND note or a call home*

Positive Consequences to earn include: verbal praise, positive notes, stickers, treasure box, lunch with teacher on Fridays, and Student of the Week/Month. The class can earn special privileges, treats, and parties.

Classroom Expectations:
** We raise our hands to speak. ** ** We stay in our seats. ** ** We use voices soft and sweet. ** ** We keep our desks tidy and neat. ** ** We are helpful, friendly and fair. ** ** We take turns and share. **

5. Feet are quiet.
