Classroom Behavior Management - The 5 P's and Expectations Scale

Revamp your behavior management! This system builds classroom community and empowers students to make good choices in the classroom. It establishes clear expectations, creates a common language and sets the tone for your entire school year. As an added plus, it keeps parents in the loop so everyone is on the same page. Say goodbye to your typical behavior management strategies, and hello to something much better!

The 5 P's represent a set of expectations for your classroom. They are:

This resource includes the 5 P's with student-friendly explanations/examples, each on a half sheet of paper so they can be displayed anywhere, plus a heading for your display. The 5 P's can be an extension of your classroom rules, or they can BE your classroom rules! They are comprehensive and cover necessary student behaviors for successful and productive school days.

Behavior Expectations Scale:

A scale from 1-4 that outlines expected behaviors for the day. In this download, you will also receive a parent letter, explaining what each number of the scale represents, and 4 half-sheet posters encouraging your students to make smart choices throughout the day. You can choose how you want to use the Behavior Scale! In my classroom, the behavior scale is displayed on the front board for students (and myself) to refer to throughout the day. Students aim for a "3" on the scale, which means "Meets Expectations"... some days students will go above and beyond, achieving a "4", while other days students need to reflect on their behavior, receiving a "2". I write these numbers in students' planners at the end of each day, but you could use this resource in a number of ways!

For more information about how I use the behavior scale in my own classroom, read my blog post, "Behavior Management: Behavior Expectations Scale" at createinspireteach.com
