Student Behavior Slip...FREE

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

I love my job, and my students. I don't love taking time from my teaching to write a note to a parent. I just don't have enough time in the day to stop what I am doing to write a note, or to call home. (Having a secretary to make calls would be a wonderful Christmas present.... Santa are you listening!)

I began using this behavior slip with my older students as a way to have them take responsibility for their classroom behavior and inappropriate actions. I copy them onto brightly colored paper and when the student is having a difficult day, I ask them to fill out a slip to bring home. Of course, I use warnings, our class behavior system, all before I ask them to fill out a slip. I find that by having them complete the form, they are able to better understand what they did. After, they complete it and I look at it, they bring it home to their parents to get signed. It has worked for some of my students and has saved me a few minutes. I hope that you can use it too.
