Classroom+Behaviour+Plan

My Classroom Behaviour Plan In my opinion, the best way to manage your classroom is to be up front with your students are the beginning of the semester, and to outline your guidelines, or rules, your expectations and come to an agreement with your students. By making your students equal players in this process, you have communicated your expectations, but you have also received their thoughts and comments and you can come to a decision that is acceptable for all parties. Of course, each teacher will have a number of guidelines and expectations that are "non-negotiable," but by giving your students a stake in the decision making, they will in turn be more accountable to uphold and adhere to these expectations.

The following two documents are an example of a "Classroom Behaviour Plan," in the form of an agreement, and the subsequent "Letter to Parents," designed to communicate these expectations home, and encourage their support and promotion of the same guidelines and expectations.

By getting everyone on the same page, teachers, students and parents, from day one, you will be in a much better position to manage your classroom, and ensure that you have the respectful, inclusive and positive learning environment we desire for a successful classroom.
