  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!)
I think a classroom contract is a much more respectful way to go about it, and that process begins with students being aware of what is appropriate.

Sometimes, just saying their name is enough because they also know they shouldn't be doing what they are doing. Pulling them aside after class to discuss it and make individual contracts could also be effective.
