My Emerging Plan for Classroom Management

Student Behavior Management

Maintaining Classroom Relations and Personal Behavior

I support my students behaviors by positive reinforcement. Acknowledging appropriate behavior and encouraging more, which is also how I discourage inappropriate behavior. I redirect children if they are really disruptive and are having a challenging time. I invite students to a safe place where they can't hurt themselves or others . Later, I check back on students. We discuss their emotions, reflect on their behavior, remind student of expectations, and find a solution to their problem. Lastly, I ask them to regroup when they are ready.

When the Going Gets Tough

My pattern of escalating consequences would be first a reminder (reminding students of our class expectations). Next, a warning that a privilege will be taken away (Ex. “If you throw the play dough again I'm going to have to put it away.”) If behavior continues I will commit to my warning and take the privilege away (Ex. “I asked you to stop two times. Now I'm going to put the play dough away and we can find something else to use.”) If inappropriate behavior continues, we will talk to the parent and notify them. If it's an ongoing behavior that continues day after day, we will continue our pattern of consequences and request a conference with parents to brainstorm new ideas that we both can work on to help the child.
