Details:

Part One: Expectation and Consequences Posters

Create two posters that can be displayed in Birth to Age 5/Pre-K and K to Age 8/Grade 3 classrooms. The posters should outline your classroom guidelines for behavior expectations, reinforcers, and consequences.

Be creative and reflect the developmental level of each age group on the respective poster.

Part Two: Schedules

Design a schedule for both Birth to Age 5/Pre-K and K to Age 8/Grade 3 that includes a set of routines that are developmentally appropriate for each age group and that reflect a typical day (Birth to Age 5/Pre-K) or week (K to Age 8/Grade 3) in a classroom setting. Include family volunteers.

Each poster and schedule are to demonstrate best practices for developing a healthy, supportive environment for learning that embraces the diversity of your students, addresses challenging behaviors/special needs, and includes families as partners.

You may use Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher.

GCU format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
