  Case: EBD Behavior Management System
I have seen a lot of different behavior management systems utilized in classrooms. The school in which I frequently work has a school-wide 'clip chart' system. While this is effective in the general education classrooms, it holds little meaning to the students in the K-4 EBD room. The biggest struggle that I see faced with this particular group of students is their lack of family involvement and consequences at home. Involving parents in the situations has done little to no help thus far. Most of the time, involving administration does little help, as they come back with candy or rewards for 'calming down.' All of this combined leaves the behavior management strictly up to the teacher with very little outside help.

My question is, what behavior management strategies have you seen implemented that have shown great success, especially in an elementary EBD setting?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
What I like to do for these students is to not call out their names if there is a problem. For example, if everyone is sitting down except for the student with EBD, then I make a general class announcement for everyone to have a seat. If that does not work, then I keep repeating the same class announcement until the student understands that they need to have a seat. This takes the attention off of them by not singling them out.
