DISCIPLINE POLICY

Every classroom needs a set of procedures to manage the array of activity that students create. Many teachers consider it important to review such class expectations during the first days of school, especially expectations related to student discipline. A classroom discipline policy is a codification of these expectations, a point of reference for teachers and students throughout the year. The examples are:

1. Respect others.

2. Keep silence when anyone is addressing the class.

3. Keep the classroom neat.

4. Bring required and suitable things into class.

If they commits mistakes or ignoring even break the policy, we (as teacher) should consider these things:

• Make positive consequences frequent and varied. for instance, sending positive notes home, class parties, individual privileges (e.g. taking care of a class pet), etc. Besides, we can use class-wide rewards for individual behavior; it reinforcing and encouraging.

• Make negative consequences logical and progressive. This might look like:

  • 1st Offense - Warning

  • 2nd Offense - Student-Teacher Conference (after a cooling-off period)

  • 3rd Offense - Detention (students do a special assignment like an apology letter)

  • 4th Offense - Student-Parent-Teacher Conference

  • 5th Offense - Disciplinary Referral to the Vice Principal
