BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIES

Classroom Rules:
1. Follow directions the first time given.
2. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
3. Raise your hands and wait until you are called upon.
4. Carry out your student responsibility.

Student Responsibilities
1. Do your own work.
2. Ask help when you need help.
3. Take care of your own things.
4. Finish your work and turn it in on time.
5. Show respect to others--teachers, peers, and properties.
6. Accept responsibility for grades and other consequences.





Rewards for Good Behavior and Following Rules
1. Center Time
2. Computer Time
3. Praises from Teacher

Student Responsibilities
Students are assigned responsibilities for one week.

Secretary
The secretary takes care of the attendance. They mark who is absent and tardy.

Graphic Artist
The graphic artist designs the daily calendar. They can use lines or pictures.

Chronologist
The chronologist writes the date on the top left hand corner.

Meteorologist
The meteorologist records the weather of that day.

Historian
The historian notes any special events that we had that day.

A.M. Reporters
The A.M. reporters record the standards and benchmarks that were taught as well as the activities that morning.

P.M. Reporters
The P.M. reporters record the standards and benchmarks that were taught as well as the activities that afternoon.

Librarians
The librarians clean up the library and sweep the carpet.

Runner
The runner does errands for the teacher outside the classroom. The runner is also responsible for taking the attendance report to the office in the morning.

Class Monitor
If there is ever a time that the teacher leaves the classroom, the monitor records who were not following directions and breaking the rules.

Cafeteria Monitor
The cafeteria monitor chooses the students who are ready to line up. When the students are orderly, the monitor escorts the students to the cafeteria. He or she records who was talking and making a mess in the cafeteria. He or she then gives the list to Ms. Beverly or myself. We questions the students, and those that take responsibility stay in the class during lunch.

I find that using the Hi Five method is the most effective. When you raise your hand or tell them to give you a high five, they stop what they are doing and pay attention.

Another method that we use is that we ring the bell. The students stop what they are doing and pay attention.

For the students that go to the bathroom or library, there are passes available for them to wear.
