  • GOOD AS GOLD BEHAVIOR!

    BEHAVIOR PROGRAM and SUPER IMPROVER INCENTIVE
    CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
    All children are expected to treat everyone with respect and use appropriate Second Grade behavior.   I firmly support a “safe learning” environment.  The children should feel comfortable and safe in their classroom.  I wish for each child to take learning chances, make mistakes, but most importantly, grow from these experiences. Only in a safe learning environment can this occur.  In addition, I encourage the students to work together as a team.  As an incentive, they can earn Gold Coins as they work towards a class reward. At times, as needed, class incentives may be changed or team incentives may be introduced to encourage additional team work and appropriate behavior. 


     “ROARING GOOD” BEHAVIOR PROGRAM and SUPER IMPROVER INCENTIVE
          In my classroom, I combine two individual methods of behavior management.  First is the “Wild about Good Behavior" Chart. All students are expected to use good behavior daily.

         If I need to remind them about their behavior, it's an oral warning.  If the inappropriate behavior continues, I will note it privately on my clipboard (Not publicly displayed), as well as speaking to them privately about making better choices.  In addition, your child may be asked to complete a “Think” paper to help them make better choices.  This will go home at the end of the day.   I will cross off the day on their "Wild about Good Behavior" chart found in their Star Binder. Usually if that happens, I make a quick notation of where your child struggled that day.  Parents may be contacted if necessary, either by phone or email. I do utilize Option C also.

         If a child demonstrates continuous inappropriate choices, I will be contacting you in an effort to work together and help your child to use appropriate behavior.  In serious situations, a child could lose recess, receive a demerit, conduct referral and/or be sent to the principal’s office.  You may always check their STAR BINDER to see where your child ended up daily on the “Wild about Good Behavior” chart.  If their chart has no notations on it, they are demonstrating “Roaring Good Behavior!”  THAT IS something to ROAR about!!

    Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns.   Just as you and I are human, children are too.  I am not concerned about an occasional “off” day, but will be concerned and contact you if inappropriate behavior continues on a consistent basis. 

     
    SUPER IMPROVEMENT TEAM (SIT)

          My second individual behavior program, SUPER IMPROVEMENT TEAM, challenges students to be the best that they can be.  SIT helps to create a positive, challenging and well-managed environment that encourages students to always do their best. SIT is a way to recognize individual challenges and rewards student improvement in specific areas that each individual child needs improvement in.

         There are 10 color levels in which students will progress through.  Students earn stars that are placed on name cards on our SIT wall as indications of personal improvement in academics, social interactions and behavior. The stars are a visual representation of an achieved improvement and effort, instead of a reward.  Students can never lose earned stars.

         Once a student earns 10 stars on their name card, they advance to the next level and get a new name card on our Super Improver wall to keep earning at their own pace. Since stars are awarded on an individual level, there is no “reward” or “race” to the top.  Each student is competing against their own last effort in a particular area.  In addition, the class is encouraged to report sightings of excellent behavior, kindness, generosity and effort to me and recommend a peer for a star.  SIT is an individualized method to help meet the needs of each child and learner!
