Classroom Management Style
II'm a firm believer that children will only learn in an environment where they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Our classroom becomes our home and we become a family. I do have very high expectations for my students both academically and behaviorally. This is because I believe every year that my students are the "Best of the Best and we accept nothing LESS!". Classroom disruptions, disrespect, and a poor attitude toward the learning environment are not acceptable. I work very hard to manage behavior issues in the classroom instead of following progressive discipline. With that being said, if behavior issues persist, I will follow progressive discipline. Our policy is as follows:
PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE POLICY
Progressive Discipline:
1st Offense- Verbal Warning 2nd Offense- Phone Call Home with Teacher Consequence
3rd Offense- Parent Conference with Counselors 4th Offense- Social Worker Interventions
5th Offense- Dean's Referral
