Covenant Management

The teacher will…


-treat the learners with respect while leading them
-celebrate diversity within the classroom
-encourage positive relationships within the class by facilitating a daily morning
meeting on the rug where students have the opportunity to share in a safe space
-build relationships with the students by putting the effort to get to know them as
people and not only as students
Examples:
•showing appropriate interest in their personal life
•attending extracurricular activities of students
-communicate to students that answering incorrectly is okay and not something to
be embarrassed about
-stress that each student’s goal should be to improve their own performance rather
than compare to the performance of peers
-Communicate with parents regularly
Examples:
•weekly classroom updates via paper newsletter or e-mail
•parent teacher conferences each semester
•invitation for parents to participate when appropriate
•openness for parents to discuss their concerns
-address bullying issues that arise
Examples:
•one on one conversation with student
•conversation with all students involved
•conversation with principal
•parents are called
The students will…
-respect the teacher and fellow students
-be non-judgemental, supportive, and open to sharing at morning meetings
-not bully other students or support bullying as an ally or bystander
-understand that it is okay to answer incorrectly
-appropriately call out other students when they break a rule or disrespect
someone else

Content Management
The teacher will…
-ensure that students know what they are to be doing as soon as they enter the
classroom
-maximize engaged time by keeping expectations consistent throughout the year
and clearly communicating with students
-be superbly organized and have a place for everything in the classroom
-establish expectations for transition points throughout the day
Examples:
•going to lunch
•getting books out
•passing papers in
-assign weekly classroom chores for students to participate and practice
responsibility
Examples:
•straighten desks
•clean board
•plant caretaker
•messenger
-arrange desks in clusters of four to facilitate partner teaching and group work
The students will...
-be familiar with and respect the classroom procedures established by the
teacher
-ask questions when they are confused about expectations
-stay on task

Conduct Management
The teacher will…
-establish basic expectations at the beginning of the year:
Rule 1. Follow Directions Quickly
Rule 2. Raise your Hand for Permission to Speak
Rule 3. Raise your Hand for Permission to Leave your Seat
-give students the opportunity to add rules to the list and be open to suggestions
-review rules with students at least twice a day
-use the “scoreboard” system to manage behavior of the entire class
•Record tallies on the board that are either positive and negative, never
allowing the difference to surpass 3
•the difference between the two will result in either positive or negative
consequences
Examples:
• more or less minutes at recess
•more or less homework
-emphasize why the rules are in place: to best facilitate learning rather than
manage behavior
-confront and discuss with a student in private if a rule is a continual problem for
them
The students will...
-be familiar with the expectations
-understand and accept the consequences of their behavior
-suggest appropriate new rules for the classroom
