Classroom Expectations?

33. Choice
“My expectation is…”
“You have a choice.”
“You can raise your hand to speak and I
will listen”
OR
“you can choose to call out, and there are
consequences to your actions.”

34. Consequences vs Punishment
Why are you calling out?
Didn’t I tell you
not to call out?
Shh! Be quiet.
Don’t talk when I am
talking!
The expectation is -
you will raise your hand
to speak.
This is your first warning.
Can someone remind…
what the expectation is?
Thank you…for raising
your hand to speak.

38. Take a Break
Time-out should not be used as a punishment.
You are not banishing the child for misbehavior.
Instead, you are asking him or her to take a few
minutes to think about their choices and how
they will make better choices next time.

39. Start the timer.
Sit with your hands in your
lap.
Try a calming technique:
- Close your eyes.
- Count silently.
- Breathe in and out slowly.
- Make a picture in your
head about somewhere
relaxing.

needed to come to

44. You Break ​It, You Fix It
Give students an opportunity to solve a problem
he or she caused.

been hurt, or a mess has been made—whether
accidentally or intentionally, the consequence is
that the one responsible for the problem takes
responsibility for fixing it.
