of the day

1. Beginning of Class: Sit in your assigned seat, check board for daily agenda, quietly color in
your sponge book, or activity books until class begins
2. Attention-Getting Procedure: stand at the front of the room and count down from 5 with
fingers, wait quietly for full classroom attention, use attention getters (1-2-3 eyes on me,
etc.) students: bring focus to teacher when she begins counting down, put all materials
down and listen for instructions
3. Question-Answering Procedures: raise your hand when you want to say something
4. Transition Procedures: Listen to full instructions before moving on to a new task, put
materials away in your pencil case after finishing a task.
5. Individual Seatwork and Group Procedure: Work at your desk, ask neighbors to
help/clarification, and ask the teacher if it still isnt clear, work respectfully and
cooperatively with others, keep the noise level down.
6. Laboratory, and Art Procedures: get all instructions before starting, be cautious, follow
directions carefully, clean up materials used, always ask for assistance if you are confused
about something, dont ever ingest or smell materials used in labs.
Teach/Reinforce Procedures:
Go over all of my classroom procedures on the first day
Recap procedures at the end of class 1 and beginning of class 2
Use consistency in every lesson (use all procedures each day)
Be prompt to correct: if procedures are not being met by students, I will address them to the
entire class

with a variety of different people (ongoing)

5. Intervention Plan
Low Level Intervention:
Proximity, eye contact, pause in speech for attention
Say students name to gain their attention again
Quietly approach disruptive student ask for attention politely, continue with lesson
High Level Intervention:
Offer choices: you may start on your work, or come sit by my desk, you may work
with your group, or work alone
Private conversation: if student does not cooperate with choices, student will be
asked to move to the hall where I will have a conversation with them at a time that
does not distract the rest of the class.
If the class disturbances continue, the childs parent will be contacted via a note in
his/her agenda or via a phone call home.
If student becomes violent (verbally or physically) and is uncontrollable, they will
be asked to go to the office, or I will get the neighboring classroom teacher for back
up.
Relation to school-wide policies:
Student are to be sent to the office if they are being violent towards themselves or
others
Students are expected to work cooperatively with others, and be respectful in the
classroom
