The 5Ps

The 5 P’s are another tool to reinforce expectations in the classroom, and is another effective strategies for behavior management. They are 5 words: Prompt, Polite, Productive, Patient, Prepared that set the tone for the culture of classroom. We prioritize the 5 P’s in all that we do. They could be considered classroom rules, I call them the “5P’s that we live by” and students know them by heart. Younger students may need more concrete rules, but for me the 5 P’s are all-encompassing and if we adhere to them, keeping our Behavior Expectations Scale in mind, we will have a great school year with minimal behavior distractions
