Case: Fire Drills
My class does not take fire drills seriously. No matter how often I say to them, although fire drills are for practice, we still must follow protocol as if it was a real one they still act up. Embarrassed as my class is the only class running and talking during the drill, I've tried everything that I've seen suitable to get them to do right. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As much as I hate to do it, sometimes bribery is the best option! Offer an incentive like 5 extra minutes at recess. Something small and realistic. I usually try positive reinforcement but you also have the option of a consequence. "If you continue to use your free time during fire drills, we will use your free time to practice fire drills." You could literally do a fire drill for recess every day until they take it seriously. I think it also depends on what age kids you are working with. |

| Comments: Positive reinforcement and incentives are a great way to encourage positive behavior and teach students to take the fire drills seriously. Consequences, such as practicing fire drills during recces when actual fire drills are not taken seriously is also a good idea, since it will demonstrate the seriousness of the drills to the students. |
