dpurdy on 28 Dec 12Page 19 has some information about involving students in creating a school wide discipline policy. Perhaps these guiding principles could be developed and then implemented in all classrooms and that would cover the requirement in the rubric? It seems like a better method than individual teachers taking a day to develop the system in each class. This may work in an elementary contained classroom level, but when a student has 7 classes? I exchanged emails with Michael Linsen, the author of "Dream Class" www.smartclassroommanagement.com and he disagreed with the idea of letting students create the discipline plan, but said that there are ways of involving them which will bring you to the same result if necessary. I highly recommend the book, it changed the way I manage my classroom.
