  Case: Class Bully
Mr. McDaniel has a student who has gotten in trouble several times for bullying other kids in the classroom. Several parents have contacted him to complain about this particular child bullying their child. The student has already been suspended twice this year for bullying, and his parents have not been able to correct the situation from home. The counselor has also been involved and the child has been placed in a group to try and figure out why he is bullying. What can Mr. McDaniel do to help the situation in the classroom and to reduce the amount of bullying that is taking place.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You may want to consider creating a positive reinforcement behavior chart. In my classroom, students who are on a behavior plan, have the opportunity to earn 5 points/subject including hallway, lunch, and specials behavior. If the student receives an average of 25 points by the end of the week, they are given the option to receive candy or they can visit the prize box Friday afternoon. The prize box does not need to be anything elaborate, just a few Dollar Store nick-nacks.

Comments: This solution could work since many children do things because they know they are going to receive a prize. Maybe if the student was well behaved on the chart and knew it resulted in prizes or candy, he would more likely clean up his behavior choices.
