Discipline Cards


Lolita Cox, a sixth grade teacher at Museum Magnet Elementary School in St. Paul, Minnesota

I have green, yellow and red discipline cards on a chart for each student. At the beginning of the day each student has a green card showing on the chart. If a child is disruptive, he or she is told to pull their green card as a warning and their yellow card is exposed. After the yellow card is pulled, the child is given a five-minute time out. After the red card is pulled, the child is given a ten-minute time out. If the behavior continues, the child is sent to the school reflection room to talk to the Educational Assistant about how he or she can better handle a situation. Once a reflection sheet is satisfactorily completed, the child may return to class. Few students have to pull more than their green card before remembering to stay on task.
