Reteaching Expectations
It’s the last day of school… and I was up early formatting a slip that will help to have conversations at the beginning of next year, regarding a few different student behaviors. It’s better to do it when it is fresh.
I have different slips for different topics. Below is the ‘using work time wisely’ topics:
There will also be: Paying attention/not talking, staying in your seat,
Reteaching Expectations: Using your work time wisely
Number or reminders given:

Next steps together:
- Multiple reminders
- Reteaching #1
- Reteaching #2 (may be skipped)
- Parent email/phone call
- Followup
- Principal/parent/student meeting
In the last column, the ‘next steps together’ I will check the multiple reminders and reteaching #1. I’ll say that if I don’t see some immediate effort, we can skip reteaching #2 and skip to the parent contact.
This will be a trick to implement into our busy class schedule… but worth the effort.
