  Case: Clip Down
I have a clip chart in my classroom and there are some students who do not have clips because it does not fix behavior. Is it a good idea to exclude from the clip chart? What els could I do to fix behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Please bring the clip back for every student. You are showing the students without clips that their behavior does not matter and you may be sending them the wrong message that they can do anything in your classroom. Once the clips are returned for every student go over your classroom rules again. Reevaluate your classroom rules and change if needed. Explain the classroom rules and teach them to your students again. Create a goal that when students reach the top of the chart they receive a jewel that sticks to the clip. Its a small incentive, but students love it, including the boys. Now you can focus on the students positive behavior. Find an instance when the students do something right and clip them up. Good luck!
