The document outlines Miss Edmonds' 7-step discipline plan for managing student behavior in her classroom. Step 1 involves private signals to students. Step 2 is a verbal warning. Step 3 is a quick conference. Step 4 includes having students fill out reflection cards that may result in lunch detention. Step 5 involves calling parents of repeat offenders. Step 6 is an office referral. Step 7 develops a formal plan with parents and administration. The steps are a hierarchy but some steps may be skipped in extreme situations, and parents will always be notified of concerning behavior.

The following steps will be used in the classroom to manage student behavior.
Step 1Private Signal
The look, proxemics, and pointing are all examples of private signals used to let a student know his/her behavior is unacceptable.
Step 2Verbal Warning
A short mention of the student name or mention of activity the student is supposed to be doing, followed by any of the private signals.
Step 3-- Quick Conference
This may occur quietly at the students desk, or privately in the hallway or teachers desk. I will inform the student that the misbehavior is not acceptable, receive feedback from the student, and inform him/her of the next step.
Step 4Reflection Card/Lunch Detention
Student will be instructed to fill-out a Reflection card answering the following questions: 1. What was I doing that was inappropriate? 2. Why was this action inappropriate? 3. What are the consequences of my behavior? 4. What can I do better/change next time? The card will be turned in when completed. The students will complete this silently at his/her desk. If student is asked to fill out reflection form, he/she may also be assigned to one day of lunch detention.
Step 5Parent Phone call/Scheduled Conference
I will call home for Repeat offenders in step 4 for one or more instance of misbehavior.
Step 6Office Referral
Administrative involvement.
Step 7Plan Development
Parents, student, and teacher will develop a plan of action for the student during a scheduled conference. This plan will relate directly to student behavior. Administration may also be involved to develop this plan further.
The above steps are intended to be implemented as a hierarchy of responses to
student behavior. However, in extreme circumstances, I may deviate from this hierarchy. In any case, parents will be notified when a childs behavior demonstrates cause of concern. I hold high expectations for all students, and all students will be held accountable for their actions.
