in the areaObserve student behavior (supervise!)Interact positively with studentsCorrect calmly, consistently, and

immediately in the setting in which the infraction occurred

Rules Vs. Procedures (CHAMPS)

The purpose of rules is to set boundaries or limits

Rules are unchanging and set school wide.

No more than six rules at a time.

Each teacher holds different expectations.

Procedures concern how things are done and are statements of student expectations.

Procedures and routines teach what students are to do or work at.

Classroom management plans have procedures.

Hurricane Rules…

Be courteous and respectfulBe prepared and responsibleBe on timeKeep hands, feet, body parts, and objects to

yourself

Clever Quote

Academics affect behavior…Behavior impacts academics!

Based on review of 11,000 studies spanning 50 years, researchers determined… the most

important factor governing student learning is classroom management.

Margaret Wang, Geneva Haertel, & Herbert Walberg, 1994

Classroom Management

All the things a teacher does to organize students’, space, time, and materials is so that student learning can take place.

Students want a well-managed classroom...because a well-managed classroom gives students security. There are no surprises and no yelling in a classroom where everyone knows what is happening and everyone respects each other.

If You Want a Behavior, You Have to Teach It!

• Model Behavior “Look like”

• Acknowledge students who demonstrate the skill

• Regularly communicate with students and parents

• Greet students daily

• Avoid confusion and wasted time
