Warning Slips

What I did last year:

After a student had received a verbal warning about their behavior choices, I would give them a warning slip. The warning slip had a similar format to a write-up or referral form. I would check off the negative behaviors that the students exhibited and asked the student to sign acknowledging that they received the written warning and were aware of the further consequences should their behavior continue. This worked pretty well, but it was inconvenient to have to stop and fill out the form for them to sign.

This year: 

I wanted to stay with the general idea of giving the students a warning slip for their behavior, but I wanted to modify it so it didn't take up any instruction time. Here is the result:

FRONT

                                                                           

BACK

I got my inspiration for the front part from another warning slip that I saw online. I added to it with the student reflection. I love to have students reflect on their progress in class and how their behavior affects them academically. I figured that I could incorporate this into my warning slips. I feel that this is much more productive than my old slips because it holds the students accountable because they are the ones owning up to their behavior by filling out the slip instead of me.
