1. Goals of Whole Class Plan
To create a positive learning environment in the classroom.
To encourage on task behavior and thereby maximize instructional time and student work time.
To establish a proactive vs. reactive response to managing off task and disruptive behavior.

2. Elements of Whole Class Plan
A. Whole Class Incentive Program: Structured program to encourage and increase target behaviours (positive behaviours to increase in frequency).
B. Whole Class Consequence Flow Procedure: Concrete, pre-determined procedure that is followed when defined inappropariate behaviours are demonstrated.
C. Proactive Strategies: Strategies that support successful implementation of the plan, increase the likelihood of positive behaviours, and decrease the likelihood of challenging behaviours.

3. In a class-wide plan:
Expectations, Rewards, and Consequences are Pre-planned
Predictable and explicit

4. Benefits
Increases compliance (children) and consistency of delivery (Staff)
Helps ensure consequences (positive and negative) are contingent on behavior
Helps students make connections between behavior and consequences (positive and negative)

5. Benefits Reduces the time needed to respond to misbehavior
Reduces (negative) verbal interactions and minimizes stress (for students and staff)
– reduces verbal reprimands / negotiation / debate
Makes use of Visuals / nonverbals:
clear, ever-present; helps students know what to expect
allows nonverbal cueing

6. Classroom Management Plan
Group incentives (determined with the children)
Select positive behaviors to increase
Post visual expectations
Use “Give Me 5” or other strategy to get and maintain attention
Thermometer / pompom jar to measure and display ‘points’ earned
Explicit reinforcement of target behaviors
Frequent use of praise / positive feedback

7. Classroom Management Plan
Consequences for Inappropriate Behavior
Select targeted behaviors to reduce
Noncompliance
Persistent disruption
Out of seat/wandering
Visual reminders of pre-determined consequences are posted
Fresh start once consequence is completed

8. Classroom Management Plan
Proactive Strategies for Class
Daily routines
Organization of the environment
Prepared activities for wait times
“Can do “ booklets prepared
Other ?

9. Classroom Management Proactive Strategies for Individuals Proximity
Praise peers who are following expectations
Use nonverbal symbols (shh, raise hand etc.)
Provide reminder of expectation and reward
Ignore minor, brief, or non-disruptive behavior
Give directives in the form of do’s vs. don’ts
If not effective-use pre-determined consequences

10. Classroom Management Note:
Not intended as an intervention strategy for significant/serious behaviors
E.g. Physical aggression, other serious inappropriate behavior (e.g. threats) may need more immediate response from administration.
