"If you do not have a plan, you are planning to fail.”
A Sample of General Rules

RULES are IMPORTANT
but
PROCEDURES RULE
PROCEDURE ROUTINE = STRUCTURE
Samples of Procedures
Responding to an earthquake/fire drills/ other alerts
Knowing the schedule for the day/class Finding directions for each assignment Listening to/responding to questions Entering/leaving the classroom Getting to work immediately When you are tardy End of period class dismissal Participating in class discussions When you need pencil/paper Checking out classroom materials
Martha’s Approach to Teaching the Best Time Procedures:
1. Preparing Time
2. Working Time
3. Brain Breaking Time
1. Preparing Time
Teacher models preparation. What do I do during this period? What materials do I need to do my work? Where do I work? What do I do when I’m finished? Alone or in a team? Ready? If not…
Ask Questions Now
2. Working Time
We start working immediately We use certain voice level We record our work as needed What to do when done? What to do “if stuck” When done we pick up, put away
3. Brain Break Time
Stop working Relax/Cool off! Talk to a friend Talk to the teacher Take a drink If time, play a quiet game
When Done with your Assignment
Do more, get ahead
Do other work
Help a friend
Free Table, if open
What to do if teachers are busy or I’m stuck and the teacher is busy
Ask a friend
**Look up the teacher’s guide
Skip for now, see the teacher later
Do other work
Free table, if open

Consequences/Discipline Issues
After Agreeing to Rules and Training to Procedures…
…“A CHANGE of MIND MAY OCCUR”
Student made a mistake! Forgot temporarily!
Student knows the rule, expectation of behavior, but chooses to go against it.
Student has never been in your room before.
Ask these Questions Before Dealing with Discipline…
Is it a temporary situation? More on the “oops” I forgot category/garden variety?
Or is it on the category of the second, third repetition?
“The teacher and student must now discuss the consequences!!”
Or is it totally unacceptable behavior that does not respond to warnings or consequences. It is now consistently occurring? So it is time to apply a different plan? Behavioral contract?…
You Judge This as a Temporary Situation: Here are some options
Move close to the student
Make eye contact and WAIT to see if a change occurs
Give a non-verbal signal to stop behavior (Choose signal carefully)
Call the student’s name or give a verbal instruction to stop the behavior
RE-direct the student to appropriate behavior, citing briefly but clearly what EXPECTED activity is taking place
Consequences to Support the Discipline Plan
What type of consequence would fit?
Time Out Recess penalties Payments to teacher (with points, classroom
money, etc.) Referrals to office After school make-up time Teacher conference/prior to parent
conference and/or call Card system (Lee Canter/Sid Simon/
Cordwin/Glasser
Types of Behavioral Contracts
A Simple Behavioral Contract
A Complex Behavioral Contact
Final Thoughts on Classroom Management and Discipline
You are the adult. Maintain dignity. Do not let a student’s problem be in charge of the room. It is already in charge of the student. You be in charge of yourself, the classroom, and your response to the situation.
Respond, do no react, to the situation. The student needs assistance in some way. If you can do that, do it. If you also need assistance, get it. It’s not a big deal. You can not do everything all the time.
You are not alone! There is a higher power!
