Continuum of Strategies
This is a list of strategies to have in place to deal with inappropriate
behavior in the Fine Arts/Sculpture classroom at the High School level. -
Rules of the HUNGER GAMES
Beginning with transparency: my expectations, which include a thorough discussion on: respect for others, respect for our space, and respect for safety, is taught the first day to each class and a list goes to parents so they are aware of consequences.
A "token economy" will be in so students who clean up more than just their area, are always on time, display outstanding behavior earn tokens for extras like food, snacks, and extra items during field trips. -
MAJOR OFFENSES
Any student who breaks the school's student code of conduct, or places another student in danger will immediately be sent to their AP. An email will be sent to the AP, and to the parents, and a note will be sent home with the student for an honesty check: the note should match the email the parents receive. -
MINOR OFFENSES
A minor offense will be dealt with using Specific & Contingent Error Correction. The student will be offered feedback, support, and will get a "do-over". -
Minor Offense: First Time
First offenders will be reminded of the classroom rules, offered feedback and get a chance to correct their mistake. -
Minor Offense: second time, repeating inappropriate behavior
A token economy will be in place.
Rewards include: food during lecture one day, in-class movie, field trips, etc. -
