Consequences:
1. First Offense: The student will receive a quiet verbal warning.
2. Second Offense: The student will have a conversation with Miss Ford about
their behavior, and what can be done to improve it. Students will also be
given an RTC slip as a physical reminder to work on their behavior.
3. Third Offense: Student will be sent to RTC to create a plan. If the school
does not use RTC, there will be an RTC desk in the classroom for the students
to sit at. This is a spot for them to cool down, and create a plan to fix their
behavior. They will then have to meet with the teacher to discuss the plan
that will help them to improve their behavior. A note will go home to parents.
4. Fourth Offense: This will result in a meeting between the student and the
principal, as well as a parent-teacher meeting.
I have chosen these four rules, because they cover every area of my expectations of
my students. I will have my students come up with rules in the beginning of the
year, so they can take ownership of the rules and feel a connection to them (of
course I will guide them towards the four rules I have chosen). I have chosen the
above consequences, because I believe it is important to work with disruptive
students on fixing their behavior. Although it is easy to send a disruptive child out of
the room, it does not fix the problem. By sitting down, talking with the child, and
creating a plan that will allow them continue the day will help them to reflect on their
behavior and grow as a person.

Ongoing Behavior:
Any ongoing issues in the classroom will result in a private discussion with the
student. We will discuss how the childs behavior is affecting their learning
experience, and the experience of others around them. Any ongoing behavior
problems will result in a meeting with the parents, to help create a plan to keep the
child on track. Together we will come up with ways to change the students behavior,
as well as, create a way to track their progress.

Aggressive or Violent Behavior:

Aggressive or violent behavior will not be tolerated. Students will immediately be
sent to the administrator where their parents or legal guardians will be called to
come in for a meeting with an administrator to discuss the consequences for their
childs actions.

Procedures
1. Morning: In the morning students will put their belongings in their locker or
cubby then make their lunch choice. Next, they will turn in their homework to
the homework tray. Take morning work from the front table and get started on
it.
2. Small Group: When we gather into small groups, the students will speak with
a 6-inch voice. They will work together, and ask questions to make sure they
understand what each other are trying to say.
3. Large Group: When we work in large groups the students will grab the
materials that I have asked them to get, and will sit down on the front carpet.
Eyes one me, hands in lap, and listening ears on.
4. Line Up: When it is time to line up and leave the classroom, students will
quietly walk towards the door. They will line up behind the tape that is laid
down on the floor. (The tape is there to make sure they dont crowd the door.)
There will be no cutting allowed. If they are unable to do this, they will line up
in number order.
5. Room Usage: Students will be allowed to get a sharp pencil from the bucket
at any time; they will put their dull or broken pencil in the to be sharpened
bucket. They will ask to go to the bathroom by using the American Sign
Language symbol for bathroom. I will nod yes if they may go, hold up on
finger if they need to wait just a moment for me to finish explaining

something, or shake my head no. Students will be allowed to have water

bottles (with water only) on their desks. There will also be supplies around the
classroom that are easily accessible and labeled for them to use.
6. Finished Class Work Early: When students finish their class work early they
are allowed to work on other homework or read silently.
7. End of the Day: At the end of the day, after the class has filled out their
planners, they will be dismissed to their lockers to gather their belongings
before heading home. We will regroup in the room, and line up before the bell
rings. This will give students time to put on all of their gear when it is
wintertime.
To ensure my students success in the classroom, I will teach them a number of
routines to make the school day predictable and have a steady flow. All of these
procedures will help my students to feel confident throughout the school day; they
will know how to handle a number of situations, and will be able to guess what is
coming up next. Routines also help decrease the number of disruptions throughout
the day. My classroom procedures will be taught in the beginning of the year over
the course of a few weeks. Although procedures can make or break a classroom, it is
important for them to be implemented properly. I will also make adjustments to my
routines and procedures according to the grade level I am teaching. I would not have
the same expectations for a first and fifth grade classroom.
