decide who sits where?

the day ~ at the start of class, with large and small group instruction, and when
dealing with inappropriate behavior?
- Start of Class I will use a warm and cheerful voice to get students excited to
start the day
- Large group - I will use a enthusiastic voice that encourages student
engagement
- Small group I will use a softer voice that encourages students to listen
closely
- Inappropriate behavior I will use a stern voice that is different from my usual
tone of voice.
Interventions ~
Classroom Rules
Record the rules you will establish, whether alone or with your students, and list a
few possible consequences if a rule is not followed. Its good to have student input
but be sure to cover all of the important areas. With consequences, its better to
rehearse a few ideas than to think them up on the spot.
Strategies
Record your strategies for dealing with some common student misbehaviours.
Talking: Address them by saying Name can you please bring your attention to the
front . Taking a behavior card (behavior cards reward students with point that they
exchange for prizes, privileges, or experiences )

Off task: Students will be asked to change seats and refocus. Or a behavior card will
be taken away
Name calling: Students will have a discussion about respect and kindness.
Pushing and shoving: Students will be asked to go back and to walk. Ie: if students
are running to line up they will be asked to go back to their desks and walk.
Running in classrooms or in hallways: Students will be reminded to walk
Swearing: Students will be asked to use appropriate language. If swearing continues
a conversation about why will occur.
Copying someone elses work: Students will have to restart the assignment and
complete it alone.
Taking things that dont belong to them: Return the item, apologize and have a
discussion about the incident. If behavior continues parents will be involved.
Writing or scratching on desks, furniture, lockers, or walls: Have the student wash it
off and correct the issue.
Fighting: Students must apologize and parents will be called to discuss the issue.
