Overview

With each level goes with it a set of privileges or a lack of privileges. Students move up the levels by exhibiting positive behaviors and move down by showing negative ones. Students move up one step for each period. Students move down one step for the first warning, and another step for the second warning. If a student is spoken to a third time they move down 4 more steps.

Possible Privileges for each level:

I. Gold

A. With teacher permission students may leave the classroom without being accompanied by an adult (bathroom, busses, errands, etc).

B. Students earn special privileges that have been discussed with the teacher (special free time, no-homework coupons, etc).

D. Students have earned all their recess time.

II. Green

B. Students have earned all their recess time.

III. Yellow

A. Students may not leave the classroom without being accompanied by an adult (a student on gold or green may accompany them to the bathroom).

C. Students are not assigned a classroom job.

IV. Red

B. Students have yet to earn any of their recess time.

C. Students are not assigned a classroom job.

The Quickest Route to the Bottom of Red (no warnings required)

• Hitting, kicking, punching, spitting, etc.

• Instigating others.

• Stealing.

• Destruction of others property.

• Moving your name or someone else’s name on the levels without permission.

• Spreading rumors.

Ways to Modify the Levels

• Some students may need to move up more frequently than once every period.

• Some students might require more prompting or redirecting before being moved down.

• Make sure that the class understands the difference between being treated equally vs. fairly.

• Some students might also require individualized behavior contracts.
