Would I treat teens like adults in my classroom? In terms of the disciplinary consequences of their actions, no. I would not just say, "If you don't follow these rules, then you are thrown out." Instead, with each classroom disturbance or disciplinary infraction the consequences I would guide them in thinking about the consequences of their actions, and increase the consequences in severity as the disruptive behavior continues.
Good plan May. Creating situations where students are practicing making decisions is supportive.
