6. High Alert rules are enforced by the DBL
Daily Behavior Log)
The DBL is a notebook with a log sheet that I use
at the back of the class where I train students to
write when they have broken one of the big
classroom rules.
The log includes their name, the infraction, and a
list of the consequences.
The consequences are daily, meaning that they
start over every day.

7. Daily Behavior List Log Sheet

8. Consequences
offense – warning
offense – 30 sec after class
offense – 1 minute after class

Any insubordination then they go
directly to the dean
