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!) In the classroom I volunteer in, we have a clip system. They start at a 5 everyday and can move down to a 1. I think this is a great system, even with the children who have really bad behavior problems. When they get really bad and their clip gets moved they know they are in trouble and also that the teacher and I are watching them. If you do not keep the clips up, the students will think they can get away with anything, so it is good to know that you are watching them. Be sure to account for their behavior based on where their clip is for the day and take the action necessary for the behavior. Do not let your misbehaved students walk over you and continue with the behavior. Keep track of their behavior to send home to parents, so you have good evidence and multiple counts of this behavior. This record can help you in the long run with parents, other teachers, and administration help.
