Consequences
Consequences will heavily depend on severity of offense. Below is a general scheme for the levels of
discipline, if an offence needs to skip a level that is acceptable.
1. I will identify the student behavior and potential reason for the misdemeanor. Then, I will give a
verbal or non-verbal signal for the student to stop the behavior and enforce self-management. ¹
a. If the non-verbal cue does not work, I will use a verbal cue.
b. If neither cues work, I will remind the entire class of our norms/rules that must be
followed always.
c. If the student corrects their behavior, I will give them praise for the good behavior. ¹
2. If the behavior persists, I will ask the student to see me after class.
a. After class I will ask the student the reason for the behavior and attempt to find a
solution to correct it. ¹
b. If they are uncooperative, I will let the student know I want to have a good relationship,
but I need to be respected as I respect them. ¹
3. If the behavior is continuous throughout the class period, the student will be given a final
warning or asked to come sit at the front of the class.
4. If the behavior is not corrected the student’s parents will be contacted and they will be asked to
go to the dean’s office.
a. This may depend on school policy.
If the behavior is endangering to another student’s safety, then the consequences will be directed to
step 4 immediately.

Procedures
1. Tests/Assessments
For this procedure, students will be expected have all materials in their backpack under their seat,
except for pencil and a calculator. All students will sit quietly until instructed on how to move the
desks into testing formation. Once the desks have been moved into testing formation, the teacher
will hand out the tests. Then, the teacher will read the test directions allowed, if there are any
questions the students may ask them at this time. Students are expected to stay quiet for the entire
testing period. If anyone has a question they may raise their hand and wait for the teacher to come
to their desk. When a student finishes their test, the student will walk to the front to turn it in, and
quietly return to their seat. Students may silently work on other class homework while they wait for
their classmates to finish.
In my class room, this will be a very quiet day. It is important to have silence throughout the test to
discourage cheating and allow all students to properly focus. I also want to create a calm
environment, so students behaving quietly is key.
2. Restroom Breaks
If a student needs to use the restroom during a presentation or lecture while the teacher is talking,
the student will raise two fingers to let me know they need to go. If they are permitted to go I will
momentarily stop instruction, say “Yes Ashley, take a pass”, and then immediately resume
instruction. If the student may not go to the restroom at that time I will say “No Ashley, 10 minutes”
and continue with instruction. If a student needs to use the restroom during group work and my
attention is on another group, the student may raise their hand and call my name. Then they may
ask to use the restroom, my response will be “Yes Ashley, take a pass”
For this procedure, it is important to keep the class discussion or lecture moving. I do not want to
lose students focus because others are asking to use the restroom. The raising of two figure is to not
distract other students.
For this procedure, students will be expected remain in their seats until the bell is rung. Students
may start packing up their belongings three minutes before the bell is set to ring. Once the bell is
rung the students may leave the classroom in an orderly fashion, safely and orderly.
This procedure is important to keep a safe classroom. If students are congregating by the door at
the end of the period challenges may occur. As well, this encourages students to use the entire class
period for school work.
4. Working in Groups
For this procedure, students will be expected follow all the previously established classroom
norms/rules. As well, students will be expected to work within their desk groups, collaboratively.
Students will only work with their groups members, they are expected to stay in their assigned seat.
If a student has a question while working in their group they may raise their hand, if the teacher is
busy with another group then they may get out of their seat to speak with the teacher.
This procedure is important to enforce good communication with all students. I want students to
find ways to work with their designated group members, and not move to be with their friends.
For this procedure, students will be expected to raise their hand (all five fingers) when they would
like to response or ask a question. Students will wait until the teacher or their classmate is done
speaking to raise their hand. If a student’s question is to use the restroom they will raise two fingers,
not five. Students will be called on in the order their hands were raised, unless the teacher feels
otherwise is appropriate.
This procedure is important to retain an orderly respectful classroom. If students raise their hand,
they will not speak over each other. As well, the teacher may finish all statements before students
raise their hands to ensure everyone is paying attention.
