Dear LM_NET followers.

Follow is (I HOPE) a few replies that I received on my inquirey about behavior
management plans.  If you have any others I would try to post a second hit.

Our district started using the Best program about three
years ago.  I thought it was an elementary school only type of deal, but
am hearing Best stuff mentioned at the middle school level (grades 7 &
8).
     I am  looking at my library rules and trying to get them to the
middle school level and keep the Best model going.   That means no more
than 5 simple rules.  Consequences on 5 levels  (first is warning, second
is ...., etc).  We do have an in-school suspension3   r     V  i     P    b  g

I would very much like to see ideas you receive to this inquiry. My basic
rule is that if it bothers or interferes with another students right to
study then it needs to be done elsewhere. I believe that the more
"specific" we are inour expectation and consequences the better chances for
success BUT I also want some leway and flexibility for myself as well as
students.

This sounds like a great discussion topic. I hope you who have answers
will share with the group.  I'm also trying to come up with a similar
document.  Prior to this year, I've always just said, "You know what
general library rules are, so please abide by them. If you are
considerate of others, you won't have a problem."  However, having
accepted behaviors spelled out would probably be *much* wiser.
