I will hold class meetings either when I see an increase in disruptive behavior or when some special event warrants. I will conference with individual students as needed. The classroom is a community and I am a stickler for maintaining the safety from insult for each child and the best learning environment possible. Success will bring reward or privilege. I also will utilize vicarious positive reinforcement as much as possible.
Praise is a powerful management tool, especially when it is genuine, immediate, and specific.
The fourth problem will result in a student, parent, teacher and principal conference. There are two big addenda to this plan. The first is that I plan on actively interacting with the student who is having a bad day prior to a move of the third card. I have to be knowledgeable about the students in my class and seek to understand why behavior problems are occurring. I will try to know my students well enough so I can best facilitate their success in our classroom.
