Behavior Reflection Copy the following paragraph onto a separate sheet of paper. Today, __________(write date) I, ____________, (write your name) chose to (write 1 -2 sentences why you are writing this reflection): _________________________________________________________________________ My behavior in class was disruptive to the educational process. My behavior is a choice that I make. I am responsible for all of my actions. When I behave this way, I make it difficult for other students to learn and I make it difficult to learn for myself. School is very important to my success and the success of others. I don’t have the right to take this opportunity away from anyone else with disruptive classroom behavior. From now on, I will do everything I can to create a classroom environment that is conducive to learning. I understand that I will have to copy this paragraph again if I make another choice that disrupts the educational process. I will strive to make good choices that will benefit me and the people around me. ______________________________________

I understand that the teacher is responsible for many things. He or she needs to plan the lessons and then do everything possible to help students understand the material. The teacher has a big job because it is not easy to help a class full of students. When I behave disruptively, I am making it hard for the teacher to do her job. This isn’t fair and I don’t have the right to do this. I understand that the other students in my class have a right to the best education possible. When I behave disruptively, I not only keep the teacher from doing his or her job, I am also keeping students from getting the best education possible. This is not fair and I don’t have the right to do this. I am here copying this because (write your reason here). I understand that right now I am missing out on valuable learning time. Instead of learning, I am copying this. I understand that I made a decision to behave unacceptably in class and that there are consequences for my actions. I understand that I have the power to make good decisions or bad decisions. When I make good decisions, I am rewarded. In school, this means getting a good education and feeling good about me as a student. I understand that I deserve a good education and I have the power and responsibility to make this happen. When I rejoin the class, I will (explain how you will change your behavior)_______________________________
