CHECKLIST FOR CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS Complete the following checklist when conducting classroom observations in order to provide preliminary information about implementation of the classroom behavior support plan. Teacher: Date: Yes No 1. Are there CLASSROOM RULES? Specific, observable behaviors? Limited to 5 or 6 behaviors? Stated positively (i.e., expected behavior)? Stated simply (i.e., brief and using simple language)? Visible to all students (i.e., up front, large enough)? Functional (e.g., related to learning)? Enforceable? 2. Are there POSITIVE consequences for following classroom rules? Visible to all students? Clearly stated? Include a variety of possible incentives? 3. Are there CORRECTIVE consequences for violating classroom rules? Visible to all students? Clearly stated? Include both minor and major consequences? Total “Yes”: Percentage of Criteria Completed (“Yes”): Notes regarding areas that need to be addressed with teacher: © 2000-2005 Positive Schools The May Institute, Inc.
