  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!)
Excluding any student from the clip chart is not a good idea. It's not fair for the students who have clips that others don't even though the clips may not help the others. If they are younger students they may not understand why they get the clips and others don't, because it may seem that they are the only ones who get in trouble if they move down. You may try adding rewards for the students who stay on one of the good colors (including warning colors for once or twice a week) all week, like picking out of the treasure box or an extra 5 minutes of free time on Fridays. That might get the other students who have behaviors to realize that if they behave they have something to look forward to on Fridays.
