Inner Discipline Behavior Management Plan (adapted from Effective Classroom Management: Models & Strategies for Todays Classroom, 3rd edition, Hardin) The Inner Discipline Behavior Management Plan is implemented as a proactive way to complement the Franklin Academy point system. The theory, developed by Coloroso, sees the primary role of the teacher as to guide students to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their choices. It is more concerned with having students think about their behaviors and how their behaviors impact others than with providing traditional punishments and consequences for inappropriate behavior. As per the school-wide point system, points will continue to be deducted for inappropriate behavior. However, the focus beyond the point deduction will be meaningful reflection on the impact of inappropriate behavior. The Inner Discipline model is based on three key concepts: 1. Development of inner discipline is more important than traditional classroom control. 2. Problem solving is key to developing inner discipline. 3. Students must be taught how to think, not what to think. Life Messages to Students o I believe in you. o I trust you. o I know you can handle this class, and the associated responsibilities. o You are listened to. o You are cared for. o You and your education are very important to me. Supporting Principles for Students o I like myself. o I can think for myself. o There is no problem so great that it cannot be solved. Classroom Rules o Show up on time. o Be prepared. o Complete assignments. o Respect your life space and the life spaces of others. Reconciliatory Justice o Restitution: If you break it, fix it. o Resolution: Identify the steps to prevent the situation from happening again. o Reconciliation: Healing the hurt caused by the event so that all parties can heal.

Use of the Franklin Academy Point System Per our school-wide discipline system, points will be deducted from student agendas for violations within the school environment. Please note that points will be taken at the teachers discretion. The following are important deductions that will be enforced in accordance with school guidelines: Point Deductions -5 points Immediate Office Referral Examples of Infractions Dress Code Violation Tardy to class Unprepared Out of position Talking out of turn Not having a pass Gum/Candy in class Disrespect (first time)includes interrupting the teacher; being disrespectful to classmates Disruptive behavior (first time)any behavior that distracts from learning activities; students being off-task and/or doing work for another class Poor Substitute Behaviormisbehaving when a substitute teacher is present. Argumentative behavior Aggression of any kindincluding (but not limited to) physical, verbal, or social aggression Refusal to do work/follow instructions Subsequent incidences of Disrespect/Disruptive behavior after points have been taken Any behavior that violates one or more of the suspendable offenses listed in the student handbook Any other incident where the teacher feels administrative intervention is warranted

Grading Policy Grades will be updated in RenWeb routinely as assignments are graded. A in RenWeb indicates that a student was Absent and is expected to make up the assignment E in RenWeb indicates that the student is Excused from the assignment; the grade will not be averaged with his/her average P in RenWeb indicates that the grade is Pending, the work has been received by the teacher and a grade will be added shortly M in RenWeb indicates that the assignment is Missing. Ms are assigned as followed: o If a student has turned in the work, but has an M listed for a grade he/she may not have put their name on the assignment. In this case, the student needs to check the No Name Folder located on the teachers shelf. o The student did not turn in the assignment. Please see below for make-up work/late work policy. I in RenWeb indicates that the assignment was turned in but is Incomplete. Please see below for make-up work/late work policy. 0 in RenWeb indicates that the student received a zero for the assignment. Once issued, this grade will not be changed. Cheating and/or Plagiarism Cheating and Plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated. Per school policy, the first incidence of cheating will result in an automatic grade of zero on the assignment/project/test. In addition, any communication (either verbal or non-verbal) during an individual assessment constitutes cheating and will result in an immediate zero. Any further incidences of cheating will result in immediate suspension from school. Make-Up Work/Late Work Make-Up Work: Per school policy, students who are absent will have one school day for every day out of school to make up work. Late Work: Per school policy, work turned in one day late will receive a maximum grade of an 80%. Work turned in two days late or more will receive a maximum grade of a 50%. Students have three (3) school days from the due date of an assignment to turn it in for credit. After three days it will become a permanent zero. Extra Credit Policy Extra credit assignments are not offered. Students need to be mindful of this when completing assignments and studying for assessments. Class Participation If you do not dress out, you will receive a grade of zero for your participation grade unless you have an approved parent or physician note. Notes will not be accepted after the fact. Class participation is defined as the active engagement of the student at all times throughout the lesson. Active engagement involves paying attention to teacher directed instruction, sharing thoughtful ideas, listening respectfully to classmates as they share ideas, and working constructively within the class. Students are expected to be present and active within all classroom activities every day. Excuse Notes If a student needs to be excused from physical education for 3 or more days, a written note from a physician is required (parents can write a note for up to two days only). Once a student has been excused from physical education for one week due to medical reasons, a written note from a physician is required to resume participation.

Classroom Procedures, Rules & Expectations: Procedures: 1) Students need to use the bathroom while they are getting dressed. There is not enough time to converse while getting dressed. 2) Students should not bring large amounts of money or valuables to the gym. 3) Practice self-control and keep your hands and your feet to yourself. Rules: 1) Students are not allowed in the locker room during class without permission from a physical education teacher. Restroom visits during class are disruptive, and will only be allowed in emergency situations. Do not ask to go to the restroom unless it is an emergency. Since the class is after lunch, students should have ample time to visit the restroom during their lunch period. 2) Misbehavior in the locker room will result in severe penalty, which will include administrator notification. 3) NO gum, candy, food or drinks are allowed in the gym or locker room. 4) Students are not to touch any PE equipment or climb on the bleachers unless instructed to do so. 5) No school work (homework, projects, studying, etc.) from any other class is to be worked on during class. 6) Students may not perform make-up work for another teacher during class time. 7) Practice patience and understanding. 8) Think before you speak. 9) Remain quiet while the teacher is talking. 10) Have fun! Locker Room Expectations: 1) Each student has the opportunity to change in the PE locker room. Each student is to place his/her belongings in a gym bag either under a bench or in a locker. 2) Students should mind their own business and get changed quickly. Students hanging around and not moving may receive a tardy and/or a referral to an administrator. 3) Electronic devices, including IPods, cell phones etc., are NOT allowed in school. If a student is seen with an electronic device in the locker room, the device goes to an administrator. 4) Use of cameras of any type is prohibited unless used as a part of a school related activity under the direction of a teacher. Taking pictures in the locker room will result in suspension from school and possible criminal charges. 5) Verbal Harassment or Bullying: If a student harasses another student, joking or not, the student will be sent to an administrator to discuss the severity of the issue. Also, if you feel a classmate is unfairly treating you, please let the instructor know immediately. 6) Physical Harassment: Physical harassment is physical touching from another student, whether jokingly or not. Examples, such as a wedgie, 5 star, or pulling anothers pants down will lead to severe consequences. Both acts are immature and unacceptable at the Franklin Academy. Any individual doing this will receive a one-day suspension on the first offense. A second offense will result in consideration for long-term suspension. Please think carefully about the potential implications of your actions, and make sure you can accept the consequences before you act sophomorically.

Class Format 1. After dressing out, walk laps around the basketball court in the gym, and wait for further instruction from the instructor. If you are tardy, we will start without you, and you will receive the appropriate point deduction. 2. After roll call, the teacher will prompt you to warm up, which may include running laps around FA3. Bothering other classes inside FA3/FA4 while running laps around the buildings, or otherwise being off task (examples: picking up sticks, leaves, bugs, etc., hitting a/c heat units or down spouts, etc.) will not be tolerated. 3. At the end of class, wait for the teacher to dismiss class to get changed. There is NO TIME TO CHAT in the locker room. 4. Students are to have their shirts tucked in upon entering back into the gym from the locker room. 5. After getting dressed, students are dismissed from class by the teacher. They are to remain ON the basketball court until they are dismissed. They are not to be on the stairs or mezzanine without permission from the teacher (5 points off agenda for leaving class early or not being in the proper location). Valuables and Lost and Found 1. Anything of personal value should left at home on the day that the student has physical education. 2. The school or the teacher is not responsible for any stolen or lost items. 3. Check the Lost and Found box located in the locker room for lost items. Contact Information: 3rd grade and Middle School Physical Education: Mr. King @ kingr@franklinacademy.org
