Classroom Discipline Plan

Develop a Classroom Discipline Plan as if you were going to implement the principles of Canter's
Assertive Discipline. Make sure to submit Pre-Steps and Plan. Follow the following format:

Pre-Steps:

State the grade level for which the plan is intended.

In his publications Canter has described the following method for developing classroom rules. Follow
these steps in developing a set of rules that are appropriate for the grade level you chose:

 Brainstorm a list of all your needs and wants in terms of student behavior in your classroom.
(This will be different for different people. For example, some of you may prefer a quiet
classroom at all times, while others may not care about noise level or may want it quiet at some
times and not others.)

 Rearrange your list so that similar ideas are grouped together. Try to combine similar ideas into
one.

 Prioritize the list.

The plan is intended for high school level students.
