This school year we will again be using the Responsive Classroom Approach. It is an evidence-based way of teaching that offers practical strategies for bringing together social-emotional and academic learning throughout the day.  In the first six weeks of school, we will be discussing and practicing procedures and expectations (both behavioral and academic) and the reasons behind them.  

 

As a class, we will generate our rules and guidelines for the year.  They will be posted in the back of the classroom and used as reminders throughout the day.  Our school goal is to build a positive community in which respect, responsibility and reverence are the norm.

 

Any behavior that affects our safe learning environment or disrupts our class community will be redirected and a logical consequence will occur.  

Four steps will be followed:

  1.  Take a break-The student will be asked to “take a break” in the classroom to think about behavior and join when they feel they can be engaged, active learners.  (This time does not necessarily mean they are in trouble…they may be daydreaming or not focused on the lesson etc.).
  2.  Take a break (2nd time)-If a student is asked to take a break another time by the same teacher, they will not be able to join the classroom community until the teacher has time to speak to him or her and invite him back.
  3.  Go to another classroom (3rd offense) – If your child has a third offense, he or she will be sent to another teacher’s room until the teacher has the opportunity to speak with them.  Whatever academic work is missed during this time will be a homework requirement. An email will go home notifying you of this situation.
  4.  Meet with the principal, teacher, and parents-When a student’s behavior has not improved by the 4th offense, this is the time we’ll need to meet as a team to come up with a plan to help the student in this area.

Each day your child will start from the beginning.
