Mrs. Lee's 8th Grade Algebra/Pre-Algebra Assertive Discipline Plan

I do not believe that any student has the right to stop me from teaching or other students from learning.  Therefore, with my principal's approval, I have developed the following Discipline Plan for my classroom.  I am asking that you read and review this plan with your child so that both of you will be aware of the rules. 

Classroom Rules

1.  We respect each person's opportunity and ability for learning.

2.  Be seated and working when the bell rings.

3.  Be prepared for class with all needed materials: also, be alert and ready to work.

4.  Respect others' rights and properties.

5.  Obey ALL rules and regulations as stated in the Biloxi Public Schools Secondary Student Handbook.

Classroom Consequences:

Each Student has the ability to control his/her own behavior.  The following positive and negative consequences will be implemented according to the behavior choices of each student. 

Positive Consequences: 

1.  Verbal or physical sign of praise ("Good Job")

2.  Teacher Helper Time

3.  Parent Contact

4.  Class rewards or incentives.  (Awarded by teacher, approved by administration)

Negative Consequences:

1.  Warning/ Re-Teaching of Expectation:  Verbal & Non-Verbal (Eye Contact/ Pause)

2.  Alternate Assignment/ Parent Contact - (Minor Infraction- Assignment on Respect)

3.  Teacher Assigned Detention, Parent Contact

4.  Office/Counselor Referral (referrals are on an as needed basis according to incident type and student needs) 

*** ALL students will experience a positive behavior support environment, which aims to correct negative behaviors with consistent recognition of positive behaviors.
