  Case: Rewards & Consequences
Hi All. I am a student in graduate school learning about classroom expectations and procedures. 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 am still an intern, but I have noticed that the loss of privileges seems to be a sufficient consequence for most students. Take away or reduce their recess time, seating change (to be closer to the teacher), spending homeroom doing homework next to the teacher and not allowing them the opportunity to socialize. For consistent negative behavior, emails to the parents and student reflections are an efficient stopper.

Comments: These consequences are good to use when students continuously misbehave. It shows students that they need to follow directions and get their work done in order to have fun.

Comments: Privileges is a very good leverage because it is something all students use instead of something that the student specifically liked to do. They will take it less personal.

Comments: While I am sure this is effective, I think it makes students dislike school. I think it better to use positive enforcement that makes kids look forward to things. This doesn't work for all students, but it does for most!

Comments: I agree that taking away known privileges is a helpful solution because it encourages better behaviors and reflection on past behavior. Students realize that to get their privileges back they will need to behave appropriately.
