Behavior Plan Continued.

List or bullet the following:

HOW WILL ENCOURAGE/REWARDCHILDREN TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND DO GOOD WORK:

Behavior is a CHOICE!Our behavior/discipline plan focuses on student responsibility. Students will take responsibility for their actions. Students will be rewarded for their good choices and will receive consequences for their poor choices.

• Verbal Compliments
• Use 101 Ways to Praise a Child
• Stickers
• High 5’s
• Sit next to the teacher during story time
• Be the leader of a class game

IF CHILDREN DO NOT FOLLOW BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?

If you choose to break a rule:

1. 1st offense =Look warning
2. 2nd offense =Verbal warning
3. 3rd offense =Brief time out from the group following repeated warnings
4. 4th offense PART I (Positive Outcome) =If the child has calmed down and chose to participate accordingly, he/she can return to the group activity.
5. 4th offense PART II (Negative Outcome) =If the child still chooses to NOT participate accordingly, he/she will remain in time out until he/she chooses to respect others. WE WILL SEEK HIS/HER PERMANENT TEACHER IF NEEDED!
