Discipline Plan for High School
Student’s Name

Discipline Plan
Teaching high school students requires a firm disciplinarian authority that the teenage students shall respect and adhere to. There should be a set of rules and consequences for all the students to observe while in the classroom. The assertive discipline model suggests that the teacher needs to lay down rules with the results of breaking the same (Malmgren, Trezek, & Paul, 2005). In the same breath, the teacher should establish a relationship with the students because the students will not care much about the classes or material until they are sure the teachers care (Graham & Prigmore, 2009).
Rules
Maintain total silence in the classroom unless asked to speak.
Raise your hand before answering any question or asking one.
Ask for permission if you need to go out to the washrooms.
Pay maximum attention in class.
Consequences
The rules outlaid in the discipline plan should be followed by all students with no exception whatsoever. If caught flaunting any one of them then there will be consequences that shall be administered.
Step 1.
Once caught breaking one of the rules, the students shall be asked to explain or defend themselves. The chance to protect them also presents a platform for the teacher to establish whether the student is remorseful for their actions or otherwise. If they give a reasonable defense, they shall be warned, and the matter shall be resolved.
Step 2.

In case the student does not have a reasonable explanation for their mischief, the teacher shall ask them to do the minor exercise based punishment. This may include but is not limited to push-ups, several squats or sprints across the school playground.
Step 3
If the student does not comply with the punishment or does not still sound to regret their mistake, they shall be booked for a more comprehensive sentence. This may involve cleaning the teaching board for a week or sweeping the classroom. They shall need to write an apology letter to the teacher after completion of the punishment.
Step 4.
In case the student does not complete the punishment or does not write the letter, they shall be asked to see the principal who shall then go ahead to invite the parents of the unruly student. Once invited, the parent shall discuss with the administration on the possible causes and how they can be countered.
Step 5.
The students shall be asked to sign a discipline contract with the administration and their parents. The agreement shall outline the possible punishments that will be enforced should they continue displaying truancy in the classroom.
Step 6.
After signing the contract, the student shall then go to detention for a period not less than three hours every day for two weeks depending on the gravity of the rule they broke and how they responded to the administration and their parent.
Step 7.
After the two have elapsed, the teacher shall call for a conference where the parent, the principal and the student shall attend. The progress of the student with regards to behavioral change shall be the center of the discussion.
Behaviour Contract
In the event of misbehavior inside the classroom (flaunting of any one or multiple rules) the above steps shall be undertaken to teach the student to observe them. The students need to take the program very seriously because failing to adhere to it shall attract further punishment and may even lead to expulsion.
The students shall attend detention for not less than two weeks’ subject to revision based on how they behave in and out of class in the same period. The parents should expect a call from the teacher every Friday outlining the progress regarding behavioral improvement and adherence to discipline plan. If the student fails to follow the program in its entirety, they shall be expelled from the school without prior warning or consultation.
