Discipline Plan

Step 1: Private Signal

Examples of signals used to let the student know his/ her behavior is
unacceptable: proxemics, pointing, and the look
Step 2: Verbal Warning
Students will be issued a verbal warning about his/ her behavior.
Step 3: Yellow Slip
If students misbehavior continues, he or she will be asked to fill out a
yellow slip. Students can be asked to fill out a yellow slip for numerous
amounts of reasons.
When filling out a yellow slip, students will be asked to reflect upon their
behavior. They will need to identify the behavior responsible for the slip,
how it affects the classroom and classmates, and what he or she can do
to stop the behavior.
Students will hold turn in the yellow slip to the teacher and have a quick
conference (see step 4).
The first 2 yellow slips are warnings, after that parents will be contacted
and students will receive lunch detention for each yellow slip they
receive.
Yellow slips do not start over each quarter; the tally counts for the entire
school year.
Step 4: Quick Conference
This conference may occur quietly at students desk, or at a more private
location (teachers desk, hallway, etc.), depending on the severity of the
misbehavior and/or the class activity at that point.
Step 5: Office Referral
Administrative involvement will occur upon necessity
Restitutions
Parents, student, and teacher will devise a consequence that repairs damage (if
applicable) correlates directly to the misbehavior. These plans are developed
on an individual, situational base, and involve a parent/ student/ teacher
conference.
While these steps are intended to work in a hierarchy, extreme circumstances
may warrant deviation from this order. In any case, parents will be notified as
soon as their childs behavior demonstrates a cause for concern. I hold high
expectations for students behavior; they will thoroughly know and understand
the rules of this classroom, and be held accountable for them. With these
expectations and consequences in place, and with students, teachers, parents,
and administrators working as a team, I feel confident that an orderly learning
environment will result.
