Guidelines for Success:

Posted Rules:

A successful classroom is one where all students are

respected, where all ideas are heard and encouraged, and
where student safety is taken seriously. It is an inclusive
classroom, welcoming to every student, faculty, and guest.

No cell phones allowed in the classroom.

Respect teacher, student, faculty, and guests.
Be honest.
All school wide rules will also apply.

Attention Signal:
When needing to get the classrooms attention I will say in a normal voice to quiet down, if this is not heard then I will
flick the lights once.

Expectations for Classroom Activities and Transitions:

Respect is expected at all times in the classroom, regardless or activity or transitional period. I expect transitions to be
as smooth as possible but issues that arise in them can only be dealt with on a case by case basis. Students are to
refrain from talking about anything other than the class with other students.

Encouragement Procedures (Motivation):

Students who are following the rules and are demonstrating positive behavior in the classroom will be rewarded for
their efforts by participation points for each day. If a student does something exceptionally well and is comfortable
with it they will be called out in front of the class for this. I will also have a box where students can nominate each
other for acts of kindness and once a month a students name will be drawn at random from this and they will receive
a candy bar. I will also reserve the right to nominate students for this as well.

Correction Procedures for Misbehavior (both early-stage corrections and rule violation consequences):
First offense and the student will be required to have a meeting with the teacher about the offense and the second
time the student will have a meeting and detention. More major offenses and rule violations will be dealt with by the
principals office.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE PLAN

Beginning and Ending Routines:
1. Routine for how students will enter the room:
There is no specific routine on entering the classroom, but when the bell rings students need to be at their desks.
2. Routine for how students will be instructionally engaged while attendance is taken and for how opening business is
conducted:
An agenda will be written on the board of what we are doing on that specific day so students will know what to expect.
There will also be a question on the board that the students will need to write about a paragraph answering. This question
will be relating to whatever material is being covered that day in class. The reason for this is it is an English class and
students need to be familiar with writing and it will occupy their time while attendance is being taken.
3. Routine for dealing with tardy students:
Students are not allowed to be tardy more than once in a term without a note from another faculty member. If a student
needs to go to the restroom they may ask before class starts and this will not count as a tardy. If students are tardy more
than once outside of these two exceptions they will have points taken away from their daily participation points.
4. Routine for dealing with students who come to class without necessary materials:
I expect that students will come to class prepared, that means necessary materials. If they do not have these, it is their
responsibility to get them from another student (if it is a pencil, paper, ect). This is on the student to be prepared, their
responsibility. If they are not prepared than they may have trouble with the given assignment. If getting materials requires
a special trip they will make up twice that much time after school.
5. Routine for dealing with students returning after an absence:
If a student is going to be absent and knows about it, than it is their responsibility to be in touch with me before this
absence and any assignments need to be turned in beforehand or they will be late. If a student has an absent that was not
known about ahead of time than they need to speak with me before or after school or before or after class. They may also

email me from home. If they do not speak to me the day that they return than they may incur points being taken off for
late work. They will have two days to make up the work missed.
6. Routine for wrapping up at end of day/class:
There will be an overview and discussion at the end of class about what they have learned that day, reiterating the most
important parts. Depending on what was being discussed there may be a second question that the students need to write
a paragraph on.
7. Routine for dismissal:
Students are to stay in their desks until I dismiss them. They dismiss on my command, not the bell.

Procedures for Managing Student Work:
1. Procedures for assigning classwork and homework:
Students will be given time to work during class on most assignments, but if the student does not use this time wisely, they
may have homework. There will on occasion be homework assigned, but the majority of assignments will be set up so they
can do it in class if they organize themselves well.
2. Procedures for collecting completed work:
There will be a basket at the front of the room for completed homework for each class. At the beginning of class students
are to turn in their completed work when they turn in their paragraph answering the question of the day. If a student was
not in class or arrived late they need to place their work in this basket as soon as they can.
3. Procedures for keeping records and providing feedback to students:
Grades will not be posted in the classroom, but students can at any time come to me to find out what there grade is.
Students are also free to set up meetings with me before or after school. All papers will have feedback on them about
what the student did well and what they need to work on. Feedback will be conducted in a positive manner. Students are
also able to email me at any time with questions they might have.
4. Procedures and policies for dealing with late and missing assignments:
Missing assignments will receive a zero. Late assignments will have 10% a day taken off until they are turned in unless the
student has spoken to me ahead of time and has gotten approval. I will accept assignments until the end of the school day
that they are due with no penalty incurred.

Procedures for Managing Independent Work Periods:

During independent work periods students will be expected to work quietly without disturbing their peers. They will be
allowed to listen to music as long as it is not on their cell phones and with the use of headphones. If a student chooses

not to work during this time then that is there choice and they will have homework if the assignment is due next class
or receive a zero on the assignment if it is due at the end of class. Students who refuse to work during this time will
also be subject to points being taken away from their participation points for the day.
