Classroom Behavior for Academic Success
DAY 2

2. TOPIC: STUDENT COMFORT AND SAFETY ISSUES Students need to have their comfort issues addressed. Students also need to know emergency procedures.

3. Individual Students Leaving Class to Go to the Restroom/drinking fountain: students must get a pass. No more than one student may leave at any one time.
The rule is in effect at all time. What is the rule?

4. Students may not leave the classroom w/o permission to leave
Students may not leave the classroom w/o permission to leave. If a student chooses to leave w/o permission, or chooses to not come back within a reasonable amount of time, security may be called to bring the student back to class (or the dean’s in some cases). This is a safety issue – we need to know where all students are at all times.

5. Emergency Drills

6. Emergency Drills
The teacher is to be the last one to leave during a drill or emergency.
Follow all teacher directions
walk slowly and calmly in a group w/o getting ahead or falling behind the other group members.
If anybody does not comply we will need to stop and regroup. This is a safety issue and you are expected to comply.

7. TOPIC: PROCEDURES FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD

8. Start the Do Now by getting the activity, sitting down quietly and working on it w/o engaging with peers.

9. Sharpening Pencils
Do not sharpen pencils in class. If you need a pencil, get up quietly, place the used pencil in the back of the pencil box and get a sharpened one. If there are no sharpened pencils, let the teacher know.

10. If you are late, you must sign in on the clipboard at the door with:
Name
Period
Time in
Class start time
Minutes missed
Reason

11. TOPIC: ENDING THE PERIOD

12. End of the Period Routine
Students should end the period in a calm, structured manner w/ plenty of time to clean up and organize their materials.

14. Independent Work (especially Do Now)
During independent work, students are expected to:
Do the assigned work when it is assigned
Stay in their seats working quietly

15. Independent Work (especially Do Now)
During independent work, students are expected to:

Stay in their seats working quietly

16. The teacher needs to make sure all students are on task before helping individual students.

17. If students are off-task during independent work then I have to assume the student or students do not understand how to do the assignment.

18. If students are off-task during independent work then I have to assume the student or students do not understand how to do the assignment.
