Posted Rules: No food, drink, or gum in the classroom. Raise

your hand to get the teachers attention and to ask questions. Bring all
materials to class daily. Remain seated in assigned seat, unless given
permission or you are asked to leave the seat by the teacher. No late
work will be accepted after five days, unless approved by the teacher.
Disrespect, bullying, or other inappropriate actions will not be
tolerated.

Attention Signal: There will be two types of attention signals used in the classroom, verbal and non-verbal. Verbal signals that will be used
include speaking to the students, changing voice tone, whistling, etc. Non-verbal signals that will be used include the use of playing a specific song,
clapping, facial expressions, and etc.
Expectations for Classroom Activities and Transitions: Students will remain on task while working on assignments and
activities. Students working in the classroom will quietly transition from one activity to another, as this will ensure that disruptions and off task
behaviors are reduced. Students will complete and participate in the activities and lessons that are assigned, unless a student or students are unable to
and it is approved by me. The students will remain in their seats at the end of class and will quietly retrieve their materials and wait to be dismissed
and then transition into their next class.
Encouragement Procedures (Motivation): The students will be given verbal praise for excelling in the classroom, also phone calls or

emails will be sent to parents or guardians, which will inform them of the progress that their student is making in the classroom. Also, struggling
students will be praised and acknowledged, and this will help to motivate struggling students. The lesson plans and activities will vary from day to
day, which will increase student engagement and motivation in the classroom. Students will also be working towards earning passes that can be used
to excuse them from a homework assignment. These passes will only be issued to students who have at least a B letter grade in the class.
Independent praise will also be used for students who excel in the classroom, as this is a good motivator for many students. I will also use group
praise, as this will help to motivate and encourage the entire class. Students who have no missing assignments will be allowed to enter into a weekly
drawing that will be held on Friday, in order to choose an online radio station to listen to towards the last portion of class.

Correction Procedures for Misbehavior (both early-stage corrections and rule violation consequences):
Students who are off task or disruptive will be given a verbal redirect, and asked to resume the assigned task. Students who are unable to remain on
task after the first redirect will be assigned a detention before or after school and their parents or guardians will be contacted. Students who do not
serve their detentions will be reported to the office, and further consequences may result. If off task and disruptive behaviors persist with a particular
student, parents will be notified by email or a phone call, and a meeting will be arranged. Students who violate the classroom rules will be given a
verbal warning, and further rule violations will result in detentions or the students will be sent to the administrative office.

Beginning and Ending Routines:
1. Routine for how students will enter the room: Students will enter the room quietly and take their seats. After taking their seats, the
students will get out a writing utensil and their journals. Students will wait in their seats until the bell rings and the teacher enters into the
room.
2. Routine for how students will be instructionally engaged while attendance is taken and for how opening business is
conducted: The students will begin with the warm up activity which will be selecting and writing about a current events topic on Monday
and Wednesday, and on Tuesday and Thursday, students will select a historical topic to write about. On Friday, students will be allowed to
select a historical figure or event that they finding interesting or would like to learn more about. These warm up activities will help me to get
the lesson started each day, and it will also allow me to take attendance and complete any other tasks. The students will also be given an
overview of the activities that will be taking place throughout the week each day before the lesson begins. The students will then be called
upon to answer questions about the previous days closing question.
3. Routine for dealing with tardy students: Students who are tardy without a note or other excuse by staff members will be counted tardy
and the school policy will be followed regarding consistent tardiness.
4. Routine for dealing with students who come to class without necessary materials: Students who consistently forget their
materials or are not prepared for class will be given access to the necessary materials. However, on the fourth offense, a phone call will be
made to the parents or guardians to design a plan that will encourage the student to bring their materials to class. If students are still coming
to class unprepared, then detentions will be issued for before or after school. If detentions are not served, it will be reported to the
administration, and further consequences may follow.
5. Routine for dealing with students returning after an absence: Students who are absent will be given three days to complete the
missing assignments. If the students miss an activity, an alternate assignment will be used as needed. If students miss a lecture or notes, they
will be able to retrieve these from the school and or class website.
6. Routine for wrapping up at end of day/class: Students will be asked a higher order thinking question about the historical era in which
they are researching, and this will provide closure to the lesson and will allow the students to use the knowledge they just learned to try and

answer the question. The students will be asked to answer the closing question before the next lesson or activity begins the next day.
7. Routine for dismissal: The students will remain in their seats until they are dismissed by me. Even if the bell has already sounded, the
students will wait in their seats until called upon to leave the classroom. Once dismissed, the students will gather their materials and book
bags and leave for their next class. The arriving students will wait until the classroom is clear of students from the previous class. I will be
the last person to leave the classroom, and ensure that everything is ready for the next class to begin.

Procedures for Managing Student Work:
1. Procedures for assigning classwork and homework: Classwork and homework will be posted on the board each day for the students to
review, and the students will be given an opportunity to write down any homework assignments or project due dates. The students will
complete assignments in the classroom; any unfinished work will be assigned as homework. The students will also have the option to
complete unfinished classwork before or after school in the classroom.
2. Procedures for collecting completed work: Completed work will be handed in at the end of class, and the students will hand their
assignments forward and I will collect them. Homework will be collected after the warm up activity, and will be handed forward and I will
collect them and place them in the designated completed assignments location.
3. Procedures for keeping records and providing feedback to students: Assignments will be graded and entered into the grade book by
the end of each week, or the guidelines of the schools homework and grade policies. Also, grades will be updated at least once a week, or
more, depending upon the schools grading policies. Each student will be given feedback on their completed assignment. Students who are
having difficulty or who have excelled will be given individual feedback as needed.
4. Procedures and policies for dealing with late and missing assignments: Students will be allowed to turn in late work for up to five
days after the due date. However, a ten percent deduction will be taken for each day that the assignment is late. Considerations will be made
for students who are absent due to illness and also exceptional students who require additional time to complete assignments.

Procedures for Managing Independent Work Periods: During independent working periods, students will remain in their seats,
and will raise their hands to get permission to leave their seats. Students will also work silently, in order to not interrupt the other students. If
students are off task or are being disruptive, I will give the students a verbal warning. If students continue to be disruptive and off task, I will make a
phone call to their homes, issue detentions, or send the students to the administration office. I will also be walking around the room and monitoring
student progress and answering student questions or concerns during independent working periods.
