Classroom Discipline

Expectations

1. Use appropriate language

Logical Consequence: If student is using language that is not appropriate I will take the student aside when possible to address the reason why the language is inappropriate. If the student continues to use inappropriate language then I will escalate to the administration.

2. Be responsible for your education

Logical Consequences: The student is responsible for meeting the class goals and assignments; if he or she is not prepared then grades may suffer. If the student comes to me and explains what the issue is then arrangement may be made.
Be respectful of everyone

3. Raise hands when answering a question

Logical Consequences: The student will not be called upon and not be able to express their views on the given subject being discussed. I will reinforce the raising of the hand to be called on to the student so the concept will be fresh in the minds of all students present.

4. Turn cell phones and IPODS off during class

Logical Consequences: The cell phone, IPOD, PDA, or whatever the student may have will be confiscated for the remainder of the day. Depending on the school protocol the item may be picked up after school from the teacher or the parent may have to come down to the office to pick up the item.

5. Define consequences of expectation when they are not meet

Logical Consequences: After going over the classroom expectations and rules with the students and if rules are broken I will have a conversation with the student, if the rules continue to be broken the administration, parent will be contacted so we can resolve any issues that the student may have towards the running of the class and their expectations while in the class.
