Classroom Management Philosophy

Middleton students are expected to conduct themselves in such a manner as not to interfere with the orderly operation of the educational program. Building principals are directed to establish reasonable, and age-appropriate, rules necessary to maintain orderly conduct in the school. The teacher has the flexibility to manage classroom discipline in a way that is effective for them but also protects their right to teach and the students’ right to learn.


Discipline Philosophy

The aim of discipline is to institute and maintain study conditions free from disruptive behavior. Based on respect and welfare for individuals and the group, discipline should develop the ideals, attitudes, and habits required for success in school. Students are expected to follow the rules of the classroom teacher and the school handbook. The classroom teacher, special subject teacher, or educational assistant will normally handle violations. Discipline will be logged in Family Access and viewable by parents. Consequences will normally be determined after listening to all sides and considering individual circumstances. Administrative discretion will be used when a student repeatedly or blatantly disregards school and/or district policy(s). Students who disrupt the class may need to be removed with the goal of returning them to the classroom ready to work as soon as possible. The school may request parent involvement in determining the most effective consequences for their child.
