This document outlines the components of an effective behavior management plan, including a statement of purpose, classroom rules, procedures for daily activities and emergencies, consequences for behavior, and an action plan for implementing the management plan. The plan provides rules for students to follow, procedures for arrival, cell phone use, bathroom breaks, and emergencies. It describes positive and negative consequences and developing an implementation toolkit, teaching the plan to students, and sharing it with parents, administrators, and substitutes. The plan is meant to create a respectful learning environment where students are responsible and strive for academic success.
