Behavior Review

Often times, despite our best efforts and the training and practice put in place to have students learn and follow the classroom rules, some students still maintain certain behaviors that are not acceptable in the classroom.

The first step to helping a student address their behavioral problems is to assess the student in the classroom.

Using Pinterest I found a punch of behavior charts and checklist ideas and examples that will be useful in a classroom with a difficult child or more.

Here is a simple checklist that I created...

I designed it with grades K-3 in mind.

Baring in mind that this range of students would not have very large behavioral issues outside of the "norm" (i.e. not paying attention, not focusing, not following directions, etc.)

I would not consider this checklist to be appropriate for older students who might have greater academic and/or social disruptive behavioral concerns.

How to use:

1. The teacher would use theirs form (copy not shown) to monitor a student for a week, once a behavioral disruption has been noticed/identified.

2. This form could/should be filled out be all teachers that have the child in class, so that an all-encompassing assessment is conducted.

3. Upon a week's review, the parent form (above) would be sent home for the family to discuss the issue(s).

4. After the family has reviewed the form and sent it back signed, the teacher(s) would re-evaluate the student for change.

5. If no change is noticed a behavior IEP could/would be created with the school counselor, parents and child to see if an increase in proper performance can be achieved.

6. If no corrections are made with the behavior IEP; the student, parents, counselor would meet with the Vice Principal to discuss and address disciplinary actions.
