  • GOOD AS GOLD BEHAVIOR!

    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. 
     
     BEHAVIOR PROGRAM and SUPER IMPROVER INCENTIVE
    In my classroom, I combine two individual methods of behavior management. First is the “Wild about Good  Behavior" Clip Chart. All students begin daily on the green level and expected to remain there.    If I ask a student to move their clip down to the yellow, “Slow Down,” it is to remind them to think about their behavior and make better choices for the rest of the day.  If their inappropriate behavior continues, they will be asked to clip down to orange, “Think About It,” and if necessary, the red level, “Parent Contact.”  At both the orange and red levels I will decide what action is taken based on severity of behavior.  Parents may be contacted at orange but will always be contacted at red level. If a child demonstrates continuous misbehavior, I will contact the parent in an effort to work together and help the 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 our Wild about Good Behavior clip chart.

    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 stickers that are placed on name cards on our SIT wall as indications of personal improvement in academics, social interactions and behavior. The stickers are a visual representation of an achieved improvement and effort, instead of a reward.  Students can never lose earned stickers.

    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, and 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!
