hallways and open areas. Lock your students and yourself in your classroom. Close
all blinds and turn off the lights. Instruct students to sit quietly on the floor, hidden
from outdoor sightlines. Do not leave the students unattended. Do not open the
classroom door until the principal or police announce the end of the lockdown.
Accidents/Medical Treatment Students who become ill at school will go to the
infirmary at the office. Phone the office immediately and advise them of the student

Explanation of Classroom Rules (and how they will be introduced):

Class rules will be introduced during the first class. Daily routines and procedures
are established early and practiced. FLVT staff give children a framework to
evaluate their own behaviour and then make appropriate choices.

Classroom Procedures
1. Attention-Getting Procedure
1 minute warning that class will be starting
Silent finger count down
Engage students in each lesson in a meaningful way
2. Start-of-Class Procedure

Explanation of Class Procedures (and how they will be taught and
reinforced):
Class procedures are simple. Students are encouraged to share their learning at
various stages throughout each class. Students are expected to respect their
classmates and teacher. Class procedures will be reinforced through practicing daily
routines and giving students fair warnings.

D. Intervention Plan
Strategies for Responding to Misbehaviour:
Minor Strategies
1. Move closer to the student or students
2. Engage in eye contact with the student
3. Say the student or students name(s)
Major Strategies
1. Calmly request that the student or students to remain after class to address the
issue (if urgent, ask to speak with them now)
2. After students have been talked to after class at least two times over the same
issue, address the issue with my TA
Justification/Explanation of Strategies:
Both minor and major strategies are in place and can be used to respond to
different levels of misbehavior. If students are simply talking out of turn, minor
strategies can be employed to stop their behavior.

Relation of Strategies to School Policies and Procedures:

Discipline is a learning process and not simply an event where consequences are
applied. Discipline is about preparing children for all the choices they will be making
and ensuring they are ready to handle them. Addressing the students after class,
allows them the opportunity to explain their behaviour and its appropriateness in
class. This puts students at the center of problem-solving their behaviour.
