Classroom Management Plan with a Built-in Reward System

 


Classroom Management Plan

Classroom Expectations

  1. Respect – Treat others, materials, and space with kindness.

  2. Responsibility – Be prepared, follow directions, and own your actions.

  3. Readiness – Arrive on time, stay on task, and engage in learning.

Procedures & Routines

  • Entry: Quiet entry, gather materials, and start bell work.

  • Transitions: Clear signals (e.g., countdown or clap pattern), move quietly and efficiently.

  • Class Discussions: Raise hand, one voice at a time, listen actively.

  • End of Class: Clean up, return materials, wait for dismissal.

Behavior System

  • Tier 1: Preventive Strategies

    • Clear, posted rules

    • Consistent routines

    • Positive teacher-student relationships

    • Engaging instruction

  • Tier 2: Redirecting Behavior

    • Non-verbal cues (eye contact, proximity)

    • Quick verbal reminder

    • Change of seat or temporary time-out (non-punitive)

  • Tier 3: Interventions

    • Conference with student

    • Parent contact

    • Behavior contract (if needed)

    • Office referral (only for serious or repeated infractions)


Reward System: The Points & Privileges Plan

How it Works:

  • Each student earns Classroom Points (individually or in teams) for:

    • Following directions

    • Helping others

    • Staying on task

    • Demonstrating leadership

    • Showing kindness or extra effort

  • Points are tracked daily/weekly (on the board, a chart, or digitally with apps like ClassDojo, Classcraft, or simple Google Sheets).

Reward Menu (Customizable based on age group):

Individual Rewards (based on point milestones)

  • 10 pts – Homework Pass

  • 20 pts – Choose Your Seat Day

  • 30 pts – Small Treat or Sticker

  • 40 pts – Extra Recess or Break Time

  • 50 pts – Mystery Prize or Classroom Helper for a Day

Group/Whole-Class Rewards:

  • 100 combined points – Music during work time

  • 150 points – Game Day (15-20 mins)

  • 200 points – Movie Day or Party

💡 Pro Tip: Let students vote on some reward options—they’ll be more invested.
