Bump 6 – Informal Contracts
![Page 7: Michelle McKittrick - Informal Contracts and Classroom Management](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022100518/559c3d7a1a28abd67f8b4778/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why:
• Minimises time spent dealing with misbehaviour during class time (allows action, rather than teacher talk);
• Allows persistent problems to be dealt with using low-key responses; and
• In a positive way, indicates to the student that you wish to work cooperatively to solve the problem so that you can teach and others can learn.

Preconditions:
• Do this at a time of calm, not crisis.
• When the student comes in to chat have a list of specific behaviours to target (no more than 2).
• Have a planned course of action. How can I alter the behaviour around this student.
• Need appropriate consequences.
