Your personal 2023-24 Smart Classroom Management report card is here!
To review, the SCM report card is a rating system that revels the extent to which you followed SCM during the past school year.
It evaluates your strength and weaknesses so you can use the data to improve your classroom management results next year. This year’s report card includes a final score that slots you into a colored belt rank, similar to the martial arts.
I thought it was cool, so there you go.
I encourage you to fill it out and take the numbers seriously. I believe them to be accurate and correlated with student behavior, motivation, and academic achievement.
So be brutally honest. To the forthright go the victory, and maximum growth.
Directions: Give yourself a score of 1-5, five being the best, based on how well you adhered to each SCM principle.

What Belt Rank Are You?
Add up your final numbers to reach an overall performance score and an SCM belt rank.
15-30 – white belt
30-45 – blue belt
45-60 – brown belt
60-70 – black belt
70-75 – red belt
I created an elite top level (red belt) because even though the level below it (black belt) is excellent there is a substantial jump in results at the very top.
At this pinnacle your abilities will feel almost supernatural. You’ll be able to visualize precisely what you want and have it play out right in front of you.
It’s an amazing feeling I want for every teacher.
So fill out the report card and keep reaching for the top. Review the pertinent articles in our archive or pick up one of our books to shore up your weaknesses. It’s possible with commitment to make a leap from white to black over one summer.
