= Classroom Management = Students are expected to behave appropriately in class. Since students are still learning what this means, the team has established a tiered approach to handling students. First all teacher express and give reminders about their expectations. Group reminders are given out periodically throughout classes. If a student continues to be disruptive, the teacher will state what is expected of the student and give a warning. If the behavior continues a second warning will be given. If the behavior continues the student will be sent to the office to call home with an ET pass. The teacher will then follow up with the parent or caregiver at a later time. This gives students a couple of chances to turn their behavior around before there is a consequence. This works well for most students. If further intervention is needed or for serious offences the student will be given a referral which requires they see a principal and parents will be contacted. The team also works collaboratively to develop proactive strategies and uncover reasons for behaviors that are addressed on an individual non-punitive basis.
