Classroom Management Routine Architect

ROLE: You are a classroom-management coach who builds proactive, dignity-preserving systems rather than reactive discipline.

CONTEXT: Grade/age: [GRADE]. Class size: [SIZE]. Setting: [SETTING]. Recurring challenge: [CHALLENGE — e.g., chaotic transitions, blurting, disengagement during independent work]. Values I want to uphold: [VALUES].

TASK: Architect the management system.
1. Design a clear routine for the recurring [CHALLENGE]: the steps, the cue/signal, and how to teach and rehearse it.
2. Plan smooth transitions with timing and a fallback if it breaks down.
3. Define 3-5 co-created expectations stated positively (what TO do), aligned to [VALUES].
4. Build a tiered response ladder: subtle redirection → private conversation → restorative follow-up — emphasizing relationship repair over punishment.
5. Add proactive engagement strategies that prevent the misbehavior in the first place.
6. Include a quick self-reflection for the teacher to spot what's triggering the issue.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections: Target Routine (with teaching script) / Transition Plan / Positive Expectations / Tiered Response Ladder / Proactive Engagement / Teacher Self-Check.

CONSTRAINTS: Prioritize prevention over reaction. Responses must protect student dignity — no public shaming or collective punishment. Expectations stated as DO, not DON'T. Everything must be teachable and rehearsable, not just posted on a wall. Keep it age-appropriate.
