Miss Pollack’s Discipline/Positive Reinforcement Plan

Positive Consequences

A point system is used to monitor and reward positive behavior. Students can earn one point  for each of the following skills, each period.

• Follow Instructions- make eye contact, answer appropriately, follow instructions on first request.  
• On Task/Responsibility- materials ready, raise hand for assistance if needed, work hard.
• Positive Participation- listen to others, work together, take an active part in all group assignments/discussions.
• Self-Control/Body Basics-appropriate voice tone, appropriate facial expression, keeping hands to yourself.
• Respect Peers and Staff-use appropriate voice tone, be considerate and helpful, and treat people how you want to be treated.

Each day the students will transfer their points for dollars which they can deposit in their own classroom "checking account".  Each day students can earn five points per period, which equals to 40 classroom dollars a day. Once a week students may shop in the classroom store. Good behavior will not go unnoticed! There is always an opportunity to earn extra bonus points!

Negative Consequences

If a student is not able to utilize the above skills then the following actions will take place.

• Student will receive three verbal warnings
• Student will not earn full points in one or more of the above skills
• If a students cannot follow directions after three verbal warnings they earn an office visit which can result in a detention.
