Behavior management
- 1. Behavior Management in Room 10 Our class uses red color magnetic circles to help children monitor their behaviors. Each day, all children begin with 5 red circles. If your child is having difficulty following rules, he/she will lose 1 circle each time he/she misbehaves in the classroom. If his/her behavior improves, he/she will get his/her red circle back. If a child shows exceptionally good behavior, he/she will earn yellow circles. At the end of the day, the children will receive the following: Each red circle = 5 cents toy money 5 red circles = 25 cents 5 red circles + 1 yellow circle = 30 cents 5 red circles + 2 yellow circle = 35 cents Every other Friday, the children may use his/her toy money to buy Ms. Chau coupon, which they can exchange for a privilege or some goodies from teacher. Each day, ask your child how many circles he or she has earned—look for the coupons or prize your child wins! Other than the individual reward system, there are several other reward systems in our class: • Table points for small group collaboration • Marble jar for whole class reward Consequences for Unacceptable Behaviors Occasionally children have difficulty following class and school rules. At these times, I will try to redirect the child’s behavior through eye contact, verbal warning, removing the red circles, or quiet reminders. If this does not help to improve the child’s behavior, one or more of the following consequences will be used: 1. Time-‐out at the “Quiet Chair” This gives the child time to calm down and get ready to rejoin the class activity. If the behavior occurs outside of the classroom (hallway, playground, cafeteria, etc.) variations of this consequence will be used. 2. Time-‐out in another teacher’s classroom This will be used if the unacceptable behavior is not improved by a time-‐out in our classroom. 3. Note, phone call home, or conference with parent after school. This might include behavior checklists completed daily. 4. Loss of privilege or copy work This might include recess time or special activities. If there is no privilege (outside of the classroom, field trip etc.) to take away, assign copy work may apply. 5. Office Referral This can be used for behaviors that disrupt instruction or threaten others (hitting, kicking, biting, etc.). This list is an overview of my discipline policy. Other consequences may be used if they are appropriate for the behavior. Please refer to the Student Handbook for policies regarding suspension and expulsion. Art, Music or computer teachers may have different policies for managing unacceptable behaviors.
