  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!)
Positive reinforcement! Since most of these students don't get a lot of encouragement from home, they need that extra love and encouragement from the teacher. They may act like they don't want it at first, but eventually a relationship will grow between the teacher and the student. Respect will be given and appreciation.
