This year I am creating a small group binder, a individual binder, a parent involvement binder, behavior binder, etc. So today I set out making some consistant paper work to go in them. Here's what I came up with and a new behavior plan I helped develop for the special area crew:
Small Group Log |
Small Group Notes |
My referral form |
You can get them free on my TPT Store.
I also found this great link for tips on record keeping.
Also included in the packet are the forms I plan to use to help with a new behavior plan we are working on.
This summer I worked with my special area team to develop a new behavior plan and I included myself not only for constancy when I teach my guidance lessons, but also so I can help track behavior. Behavior seems to be becoming more and more a part of my job, and I have noticed that we need a better way of monitoring behavior, esp. in special areas.
Here is our plan:
Each special area and counselor will have the same three
general rules for their classroom.
Be
Respectful
Be
Responsible
Be Safe
Here is the sign I created for my room. A generic version is also available on my TPT store:
Each teacher will decide what that specifically looks like in her room. We will create a way to display those specific details in each room. |
As positive reinforcement we will use the Class Dojo app.
Each teacher will have this on their iPad for instant use during lessons.
The app allows us to create classes and track individual
student behavior. We are able to create specific behaviors we expect and
behaviors that will be considered unacceptable. For example, for be safe we can
create the specific acceptable behavior of walking in the library and the
unacceptable behavior of running in the library.
As students demonstrate respectful, responsible, and safe behavior
we can instantly assign them points. Students could earn multiple points during
one 45 min. class period. Students can also loose point(s) for demonstrating
unacceptable behaviors. They then get to use their points to shop in the store I am building in my new office. They can save up, buy several small items, it's totally up to them.
Should a student not follow the rules we have a 3-step
discipline policy.
First offense- Student gets a verbal
warning/correction and loss of 1 point.
Second offense- Student will loose another point (2
total). They will be removed from the activity and asked to complete a behavior
reflection form. This form will be given to the classroom teacher for signature.
After the teacher has signed the form it will be returned to me and I will collect the forms to be used during the monthly data meetings to track
behavior during special area times.
Third offense- Student will loose another point (3
total). They will be removed from the activity and asked to complete a behavior
reflection form. The special area teacher will also complete an office referral
form and the student will be sent to the office for parent contact and an
administrative decision if further discipline is necessary. The principal and myself can keep
forms for use during the monthly data meeting to track behavior.
