As my fellow classmates and I have been reading and learning about a few of them I wanted to ask you a few questions. What type of system of "rules" or expectations do you have? What do you see works best? Do you use rewards and consequences? If so, what kind? I can think of a ton of rewards to give the students but I am struggling with what types of consequences I can give. I understand that some can be more severe than others but I want to understand what is tooooo severe vs. what is an everyday consequence of not sitting correctly at the rug, or what if you don't bring in your homework? I look forward to reading these responses and getting a better understanding of how you run your classroom! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I use the "if then" strategy a lot in the classroom. For example, If you sit correctly on the rug, then you will have a chance to share. I feel that this gives students control over their choices and helps them learn responsibility. I find that the majority of the time they will make the correct choice.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This is a good solution, it's just the least I liked of the solutions.
