Kaitlin Reid Classroom Management Plan

Love and Logic/ Post It Note

I feel that in my classroom that students benefit from "Love and Logic." Through
this program my students become responsible for their behaviors and have to
figure out how to solve the problem. Through this, as a teacher I react to
situations with empathy rather than sympathy.
Students work through their problems to become problem solvers and in control
of their actions. If something happens while I am teaching and I do not have time
to talk to them about it or see what they do differently, I have a post-it note on the
side table where I have the students write their name.
With them writing their name on the post-it note it reminds me later to talk to
them about their actions and how they could improve them. This also has the
students take ownership of their actions.
Class Dojo
I also use Class Dojo in my classroom to reward with positive reinforcements in
the classroom. Students can earn dojo points by being a good listener,
participating, helping others, and having quiet transitions. At the end of each
week the students points are looked at and if they have met the next goal, then
they move up on the leaderboard in the commons.
Schroeder Bucks
Throughout the week students can earn Schroeder Bucks. Students can earn
these bucks by returning their reading log, turning in their folder, getting paid for
doing their class job, and for working hard. The students have the opportunity to
either save their Schroeder Bucks or spend them at the end of the week to
purchase a variety of different things.
