Question 14 of 30

What is your protocol for students who are acting out in your class?

"I have a three-step process that I have visible in my classroom. The first step is a verbal warning directed at the student if they are unruly. Secondly, I move the student if the behavior continues, and they lose participation points. Third, if the behavior persists, I send them out in the hallway, they lose points for the day, and will have a discussion that includes the parents on the issue."

      "Acting out in class is not acceptable. I nip that in the bud as quickly as possible. A verbal reminder is first, points off second, and moving them out of my room third."

      Shane's Feedback

      A conversation might be in order if the problem persists. Sometimes, a student needs to be reminded of what you expect of them and why it matters.
