Classroom Management Plan
Classroom Rules:
In our classroom...
We are kind to one another and ourselves.
We are honest.
We give compliments.
We make mistakes.
We have big dreams.
We work hard.
We stay focused and in our seats.
But most importantly...
We are family.
Classroom Consequences:
1. First Offense: A subtle and private warning will be given to the
student causing the issue.
2. Second Offense: A verbal warning will be given to the student
during guided practice.
3. Third Offense: A private meeting withe the student and the
teacher will be held either at recess or after school. At this point,
the parent or guardian will be sent an e-mail.
4. Fourth Offense: A phone call will be made to parents and a
meeting will be set up with the student, the teacher, and the
principal.
5. Fifth Offense: Students will be subjected to before/after school
detention and there is a possibility of removal from the
classroom, circumstantially.

While I have set up rules and consequences for those rules, I would like
to keep them flexible. The consequences are subject to change
depending on the situation and I would like to give the students a
chance to voice their opinion. If there is anything that they want to

add or take off, I would like to have an open discussion about it during
the first week of school.

Management and Organization:

All standards of education set forth by the school and the state
will be sufficiently met.
Classroom expectations and rules will be clearly presented to the
class and easily seen in the classroom.
All lessons will be planned well in advance and flexible to foster
the success and learning of all students.
Classroom time will be used to a maximum. The teacher will
decide when to start and end lessons and also alter the time
based on the needs of the students.
Students needs will always be put first and their success will be
the main focus of the classroom.
Lessons will be as exciting and engaging as possible to keep
students engaged and wanting to learn.

Expectations of the Teacher:

Teacher will be knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all

material covered daily.
Teacher will respect all students, staff, and faculty as well as
herself.
Teacher will create a safe and comfortable environment for
learning.
Teacher will always look and act professional.
Teacher will come to class each day with lesson plans done,
materials gathered, papers graded, etc. She will be organized
and prepared.

Expectations of the Students:

Students will always strive to do their personal best.

Students will treat everyone, including him or her, with respect.

Students will follow the rules and procedures set by the teacher.
Students will come to class prepared and ready to learn.
Students will listen carefully and follow instructions.

Classroom Procedures:

Each morning, the students will be greeted by the teacher at the

door to the classroom, will make their lunch choice and find their
seats before the bell rings.
"Bell-work" will be done quietly at their seats either to review
material or in preparation for the lesson ahead.
Tardy students will quietly come into the classroom and make
their lunch choice and find their seat silently.
If there is any homework to turn in, students will walk slowly and
quietly to the homework basket after finishing their bell-work.
After turning in their homework, students will collect any
handouts that they may need for the day.
If a student must sharpen their pencil, they should do so quietly
and without disrupting their fellow classmates.
While the teacher is instructing the class, students must remain
quiet and in their seats with their hands to themselves.
If a student has a question or an issue they should raise their
hand and wait to be called on or for the problem to be
addressed.
If a student finishes his or her work early, they must sit quietly,
read a book independently, or finish homework that they must
make up.
Students are responsible for their own belongings and must keep
them either in their personal desks or in their lockers.
When walking in the hallway to a special or activity, students
must stay in a straight line with their hands to themselves
without talking.
Students will be told within the first week of school the
procedures and expectations during a fire, tornado, and
lockdown. These will be practiced in drills throughout the year.

The teacher will go over the homework at the end of each day
and make sure that every student understands the expectation
of what is due the following day.
Students will make sure that their area is clean and tidy before
they are dismissed for the day.
The teacher dismisses the students, not the bell.

Minor Disruptions:

Minor disruptions in the classroom will be handled with a small

back-up response. This will be a private and subtle gesture or
conversation between the teacher and the student. Eye contact
from the front of the room, or a small conversation or touch of
shoulder during guided practice are examples.

On-going Discipline Issues:

On-going discipline issues will require a medium back-up

response. This will be public verbal warning such as a name on
the board, a time out in another teacher's classroom, or a
personal meeting after school or at recess with the teacher.

Aggressive and Violent Behaviors:

Aggressive and violent behaviors require a large backup

response and also require another individual. These behaviors
will result in a meeting with the teacher, the student, the
principal, and the student's parent or legal guardian. They could
also result in suspension or expulsion, situation dependent.
