  Case: Clip Charts
I am unsure how to feel about using clip charts for behavior. I agree, to a certain extent, that it is embarrassing for students and can actually negate the correction of behavior. But I find that there are fewer and fewer ways to actually get your students to "knock it off" without being mean. What are some alternative ways to stop undesirable behavior quick and effectively?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One way that I find pretty effective most of the time is amping up the positive reinforcement and ignoring the less wanted behaviors. This will only work in certain situations, but if you want a student to continue to keep his head up while you are talking, then you might want to intermittently reinforce the behavior when it is what you want him to do (for examples having his head up) and not always harp when he doesn't have it up.
