Bump 6 – Informal Contracts
Why:
• Minimises time spent dealing with misbehaviour during class time (allows action, rather than teacher talk);
• Allows persistent problems to be dealt with using low-key responses; and
• In a positive way, indicates to the student that you wish to work cooperatively to solve the problem so that you can teach and others can learn.
Preconditions:
• Do this at a time of calm, not crisis.
• When the student comes in to chat have a list of specific behaviours to target (no more than 2).
• Have a planned course of action. How can I alter the behaviour around this student.
• Need appropriate consequences.
Structure:
1. Greet student and set atmosphere.
2. Define the Problem.
3. Negotiate the extent of the problem using numbers
4. Agree on Consequences
5. Enact closure - Check for understanding
6. End Conference.
