How To Give A Warning That Improves Behavior
by Michael Linsin on May 22, 2010
In my previous article I wrote about how a warning should beyour first consequence.
This week Im going to explain how to give a warning so it will have the greatest impact on student behavior.
Here we go.
The Purpose Of A Warning
A warning is just a warningand nothing more. So when you give one to a student for breaking a rule, leave it
at that. You ruin the effectiveness of a warning by adding a lecture, a scolding, or anything that shows yourdispleasure.
That may sound counterintuitive, but a warning only works when its purpose is to allow students to fix their
mistakes on their own.
A warning is another way of saying:
You broke a class rule, but I trust that you will check yourself and ensure that it doesnt happen again.
When students are given the freedom to make the right choice, rather than having it forced upon them, it says
loud and clear that you believe in them and their capacity to control their behavior.
And this makes all the difference.
But so many teachers mess it up by giving a warning and then adding, I dont want to see you do that again.
Do you understand me? or something vaguely threatening like that.
You have to give trust before students will show you theyre worthy of it.
When a student first breaks a classroom rule, give them the opportunity to show you they can get themselves
back on track by letting your warning be a warning. Keep your personal feelings out of it.
Again, and Ive written this before, we want students to look inward when they break a rule. The last thing you
want is for them to get mad at you for their mistakes.

If yourstudents get angry with you or blame you when they break a rule, then classroom management will be
infinitely more difficult.
Finger-wagging lectures, added reminders, scolding, sighing, threatening. Theyre all self-sabotage.
How To Give A Warning
There is only one way I recommend giving a warning:
Quickly, dispassionately, and with as few words as possible.
However, there are two variations depending on the situation. Well go over both so you can begin using them
tomorrow.
First Variation:
If a student breaks a rule, and youre sure the student knows what rule was broken, then you simply write his or
her name on the board, place a yellow card in the students designated pocket, or do whatever you do to signify
a warning.
(The mode by which you indicate a warning is irrelevant.)
And thats it. You never speak to the student. The student sees the yellow card turned over and knows that a
warning has been issued. The onus, then, is on the student to do what he or she needs to do to avoid further
consequence.
This is how youll give a warning about 75% of the time.
Second Variation:
The other 25% goes like this:
If a student breaks a rule, but youre not sure the student is aware of it, then approach the student and say, You
have a warning because you broke rule number two.
Say it matter-of-factly and then immediately walk away.
At your first opportunity, write the students name on the boardor however you prefer to indicate a warning.
Make Sure You Do This
To make your warning most effective, make sure you do the following:
Include everyone.
Even the most well-behaved students make mistakes once in a while. Resist the urge to look the other way whe
they break a rule. In fact, when your top student breaks a rule, its a great opportunity to show the entire class
yourconsistency and integrity.
Back it up.

A warning is only effective when backed by a consequence your students dont like. They need to know that if
they break a second rule, you will hold them accountable.
Use Enduring Classroom Management Strategies
The classroom management strategies and methods youll find on this site are enduring; no tricks or trends that
weaken over time.
This hit and run method of giving warnings is a good example. The longer you consistently use it, the moreeffective it becomes.
The reason is simple.
When your students begin to grasp that the responsibility for breaking rules in your classroom falls firmlyand
solelyin their laps, behaviorwillimprove.
And this kind of improvement is permanent.
