  Case: Cell Phones
I am an intern in a high school EBD classroom. The students have great difficulty putting their cell phones away, and often ignore me the asked or take it right back out. We are not supposed to confiscate the phones. What should I do to get them to put their phones away?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having a basket in the front of the room would work but I also think rewarding students who do not use their phones would be a good idea. Maybe have a chart of days where students do not use their phones and give small rewards. Students who still choose to use their phones could face consequences.

Comments: rewards could cause animosity so just make sure it is established after a conversation and behavior plan with students is made.
