  Case: Accountability during centers
I have five centers on a rotation during the week for Literacy and Math. Some students play around or don't play the games right. How do you hold students accountable for their center time behavior and work without creating a lot of paperwork for the teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have similar problems with this myself. I typically take an overall score on the rotations at the end of the week. Students get a check for each station (five total) and each station counts 10 points. Additionally, as students are working and rotating I walk around and monitor student behavior and progress as well. I remind students that these centers are a privilege and that if I see them not working in their cooperative groups then they will be pulled and will complete work alone. This consequence typically keeps a majority of my students on task.

Comments: Work to keep the students on task and give them a goal that they need to work towards and know it is being graded to keep them motivated and on track.
