Classroom management is essential to teaching a classroom full of high school students. Cell phones and other mobile devices can serve as an incredible tool but also a major distraction. To best navigate this dynamic, it's important to have a clear and accessible mobile device policy that students can buy into. This document intends to serve that purpose.

This form accomplishes this by employing several considerations:

• Review of the expectations regarding electronic devices
• Student acknowledgement and taking of responsibility for their behavior
• Opportunity for the student and teacher to provide their perspective on what happened
• Means of documentation for students, teachers, administrators and parents
• Clear process for what happens when a device is taken and what has to happen for the student to get it back
• A bit of a silly and exaggerated way of expressing the "seriousness" of this policy

This single form takes all of the guesswork out of what happens when a student is using an electronic device either when or in a way that they are not permitted. After building out the template and asking a lawyer friend for some jargon, students know exactly what's at stake and what they'll have to do to resolve it. It doesn't take more than a couple minutes of inconvenience for the student and then the document can be shared with the relevant parties or filed away until needed.
