Purpose:
Good behavior is a vital and necessary part of every students school life and thus it
requires the cooperation of parents, teachers, administrators, and students. The help of
parents and guardians is absolutely necessary in overcoming behavior problems within
our schools. It is my belief that the development of positive self-concept improves
behavior and so the rules that guide behavior in my classroom are designed to provide a
safe learning environment, allow students to learn, and give teachers the opportunity to
teach.
Implementation:
Rules and consequences will be discussed during the first day of the semester, a starting
set of rules and guidelines will be provided, and students will then work together to
revise, replace, or remove the rules so that all participating parties agree on rules and
consequences. Once a final list of rules and consequences has been created the list will be
posted in the room visible to all students and staff- so that it may be referenced to in the
case of a dispute and also to keep a constant reminder for the students of my expectations
of them. I feel that I will know my plan is working when students will be able to properly

self monitor their behavior and classroom disruptions will become a very minimal part of
my classrooms day to day activities.
