Behaviour Management

Here are some of the management strategies I have put in place for the children in my classroom.

I have colour coded desks in my classroom. Each group knows which colour they are. If the whole group is quiet and focused or they have put or their chairs out in the morning or they have tidied their area after a working session they will get a point. At the end of the week that group gets a prize out of the prize box. 

Each child is allocated to a house; red - care, blue - share, green - learn and yellow - grow. When the children are managing themselves, being helpful or are making good choices I will give them a house point. This is a school wide system where each house is competing to get the most points.

I have one child who displays challenging behaviours. I have set up a race track contract with him. Under the GO list are choices he can make that are positive and that will result in his car moving forwards. Under the STOP list are choices that are negative and that will result in his car moving backwards. It is very rare when I will move his car backwards. When he reaches the end of the track he is allowed to have 15 minutes on either the computer or ipad.
