I use these Behavior Posters every day in my classroom. I have them displayed on a bulletin board near our door so that we can have a "quick check" moment before we head to other areas of our school. I have also printed these posters, laminated them, and bound them into a book to use for daily/weekly lessons. Our school focuses on one area a week and then we repeat them throughout the year. These Behavior Posters support PBIS, Classroom, and School Rules. There is a PDF included in this resource which has "ready-made" posters. Print and Go! However, depending on your unique school, you may need to edit the expectations. Please use the editable files in order to do this. Five designs are included: Teal/Lime, Black/White Polka Dotted, Burlap and White, Rainbow Striped, and a Black and White set ideal for saving your ink! All of the editable files have these five designs, as well as a completely BLANK template for you to use as you wish. Posters included: -Cover/Title Page/Display -Be Respectful, Responsible, Safe -Bathroom -Lunch Area -Classroom -Lines -Walkway -Hallway -Library -Computer Lab -Office -Bus -Playground Editable files include all of the above plus: -Music -Art -PE Every school is unique and uses different language based on their needs, location, area, etc. For example, I teach in a California school which means our hallways are all outside. We use the term "Walkways". In addition, we do not have Specials at my school so I do not have ready-made posters for Art, Music, or P.E. Please use the editable files to meet your needs. At this time, I can only offer the five designs included in this product. I cannot accept any requests for other colors or combinations at this time. Thank you for understanding!

So can pizza parties, and cupcake days, and brunch, and…I’ve had so many types of food parties I can’t even keep track! Recently, however, I’ve been […]

When I left the Vegas conference I was filled with excitement and a driving force behind how I can begin to find my new voice for this blog. Leaving the classroom for administration has changed my focus and I want to share with you some of the things I am doing with my staff. I want to give a BIG shout out to the very lovely Mrs. Spangler from Mrs. Spangler In the Middle- I was lucky enough to sit next to her at one of the TpT conference sessions and we talked about what I could offer the blogging world now that I am not a middle school teacher anymore. This post was one of those ideas :) THANKS Lisa! So imagine sitting in your classroom ..you prepared a ROCKIN' lesson. Everything is falling into place and you know you are in the ZONE. From the corner of your eye you see the beginnings of crazy town starting to surface in the back of the room. Little Suzie is about to loose it.... Maybe it starts with a sigh or a yell, then it begins to bubble over the yell is a scream ... maybe a cry. What do you do?!?! First know that you are not alone! I think every teacher can relate to that scenario and the panic that sets in when you know a student is about to burst and they are escalating rapidly. When I did this PD with my staff we started with a post it activity. In order to handle that child we first need to look inward. We need to figure out are our buttons ...and what pushes them! They needed to answer these three questions .... Each teacher was asked to write down all the behaviors that PUSH their buttons and post them. We are human and behaviors will irritate us! But what pushes my buttons isn't necessarily what pushes the teachers down the hall's buttons. The physical act of writing down what aggravated me is very powerful. Then they needed to write how it makes them feel. This step helps label the emotion...when you do this.... I feel .... As teachers we are not supposed to feel negative emotions....YA RIGHT! That little angel who comes every day and pinches or yells or rolls their eyes at you will elicit an emotion from you and its ok that those behaviors aggravate you. However while the behavior may enrage you we all know that those emotions are productive. They wont lead us to an end result that allows everyone in the room to continue in the learning process. So now I am more aware of what behaviors are my "buttons" ... and we identified how they make me feel ... The last step is identifying how these behaviors will impact the relationships I am building in my classroom. As we got to this phase the post-its it was clear... If I react with that emotion I will not be building any sort of quality relationship with my students. Not only that, if we live in those emotions and react from those emotions it will take a toll on our health and well being. So now that I am more aware of MYSELF... how do I deal with those behaviors?!?! Here are 5 ways to DEESCALTE ... I will be revisiting this topic and giving more ideas and tips for behavior interventions!! I would love to hear feedback on this topic and if more posts on behavior would be helpful so feel free to leave a comment if these strategies are beneficial!! :)
Defiance is an inevitable and generally not a welcomed part of a classroom. You are spending your day getting through your content, building community, and regularly demanding that students do tons of tasks. From time to time, they are going to have different ideas. Even walking down the hallway can be a struggle without one
