What is CARE anyway?
Introducing and using CARE in the classroom
Use real-life, everyday examples to help them understand. Talk throughclassroom issues using this structure.
Example 1
Choice: A friend borrows your pencil and breaks it do you get angry, ordecide to forgive them?
Action: Saying: Thats okay, can I borrow your pencil? or smiling at them.
Respect: Your friend didnt mean to do it, so dont make them feel bad!
Everyone: We should all take care when borrowing materials.
Example 2
Choice: Some students are teasing a girl in the playground do you join in,
tell them to stop, or tell a teacher?Action: Saying: I think you should stop this right now or finding a teacher.
Respect: Treat the girl the way you want to be treated!
Everyone: We all have to look out for each other.

What is CARE anyway?
Introducing and using CARE in the classroom
Use story books as a way to explore these concepts with yourclass. Example texts are:
Shoes from Grandpa by Mem Fox
Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel
The Seven Chinese Brothers by Margaret MahyCharlottes Web by E. B. White
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad DaybyJudith Viorst
These are in the library along with many others have abrowse!
Also check your grade-level reader list. Many of these deal withissues of responsibility, respect, caring, and growing up.

Classroom Practice Start at the start
The first week: steps to successIn your Young Hoon classroom, please develop behaviour management processes that include:
Negotiate with students the classroom rules/guidelines.
A focus on positive language: DO speak English (not Dont speak Korean), Sumin, can you share
your ideas? (not Sumin, youre not listening), Ill let you think about it, can anyone help Sumin
out?
Establish non-verbal cues.
Establish crowd control that you will use consistently 1, 2, 3 Eyes on me, or non-verbal hand
in the air options. Work out your positive reinforcement Reward Programs for both individual and group
achievement.
Promote the language of choice - using age/level-appropriate language, this fosters student
ownership and self-control.
Modellinguse I statements to promote positive behaviours in your class: I like it when we all
sit down quietly
Begin as you mean to go on, but talk to your team leader if it isnt working!
Seize the day! Inappropriate behaviour needs to be nipped in the bud, get the focus back on you
and learning.
Respect your students by not discussing their issue in front of the whole class.
Discuss and use CARE with your class, find books to develop discussions, and use real-world
examples from the classroom.
Discuss with your grade level team and organise an individual BM observation/tracking sheet whereyou will record BM issues.

Classroom Practice Start at the start
The first week: steps to success
As a grade level:
Discuss how you will display the CARE principles across yourclassrooms. Consistency across grade levels is all important. It ispart of our professional responsibilities and invaluable at reportwriting and meeting times.
Discuss what constitutes a verbal warning. Discuss what documentation you will use to track student BM
issues.
Lower grades may want to use the Learning Steps (check yourself,ask a friend, see the teacher) process to guide communication in
the classroom. Upper grades may want to create a Code ofBehaviour, and have the students sign it.
Discuss how you are doing things in your classroom. Your team willsupport you, and in turn be supported by your ideas.

Classroom Practice Start at the start
The first week: steps to success
With your Korean staff:
With your co-teacher, discuss verbal cues that
you will be using. Some teachers have had
success with shared cues.
At your grade level meeting with Korean and
IP staff, discuss your BM plan and processes.

Classroom Processes and
Documentation
ALL of your classroom processes should be
documented.
ALL student behaviour issues and consequences
should be documented. Documentation styles
vary, but all should be accessible and suit the
teacher, so that they are actually used!

A Word on Documentation
There are a variety of ways to keep track of student behaviours. Online options are
great, but not always practical in YH classrooms. Class lists can be very beneficial,
or you can track incidents chronologically. Whatever option you decide upon,
make sure it is on hand, and used!
Information you should include when tracking incidents includes: Date
Student Name
What happened (not what you *think* happened)
Actions you took
For example:
13th July. Lee Sumin. Sumin threw her pencil case out the window. Sumin was sent to
retrieve the case, we had a quick chat and she apologised to the class, she sat
with me to work for the rest of the lesson.
Reflection sheets should also be kept and filed.Parent conference documents should also be ke t and filed.

Classroom Processes (1/2):
These are designed to be used flexibly in your classroom. As a
professional, you need to assess students behaviours, their
needs as individuals, and the rights of the class.
Multiple Verbal Reminders.
Focus on language of choice.
Be clear about what is going wrong, and what the rightbehaviour looks and sounds like. Junior students may notknow.
Visual and verbal reminder.
Especially as ESL learners, our students benefit from multiplemodes of information.
The culture of shame in Korea also means behaviours may
not progress beyond this point.

Classroom Processes (2/2):
These are designed to be used flexibly in your classroom. As a
professional, you need to assess students behaviours, their
needs as individuals, and the rights of the class.
Reflection Sheet
Students reflect on their behaviour and why it doesnt fit with
the classroom. Students show understanding of appropriatebehaviour.
Reflection sheets indicate in positive terms how teachers andstudents can work together to help each other.
Take care to complete these in a relationship-buildingatmosphere, rather than developing a naughty club culture.
Exclusion from social setting NOT learning.
This should be a brief exclusion within the classroom, with clearcommunication that changed behaviour will result in
reintroduction to the group.

15/15
(2/2) For continued behaviours, or those which make
other feel unsafe (physical harm, swearing, bullying)
Letters to parents. These are standardised, bilingual letters which have been approved.
Although these are fine to email, you must CC or BCC the IP Assistant Director as well.
In the case of continued behaviours, ideally there would be 3 letters sent home before a phonecall is made to parents.
Teacher must keep a record of letters with dates.
Student, Parent, Teacher meeting.
Administration involvement (IP Director or Korean Principal ) is usually for severe behaviours.
The shame associated with a parent meeting places this (unfortunately) towards the end of theprocess. The parent perception is that a call to school means the student is engaging in extremelyserious behaviours, when this may not always be the case. The impact at home on the student
may be severe, so these meetings (in most cases) should follow a series of letters home. Parents usually want to meet without the student. However, students need to be involved in
discussions somewhere in the process.
Teachers should be involved and informed, so as not to lose ownership, and to use theopportunity to build the relationship with the student and parent.
Teachers should use the Parent Conference Document to document these occasions.
