  Case: Alternative Behavior Chart
In a few classrooms that I have worked in, the teachers usually have some sort of behavior chart. Some have a group chart on the board or may have individual student charts at their desks. Every time a student was told to clip down, the situation is negative and public. Are there any other forms of behavior monitoring that can be more positive? Have you tried these methods, and did they seem to be working?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I use a token economy. When students are caught doing something above expectations, they earn a "turtle token." Students hold on to their dollars. On Fridays, I open up my store. Students can purchase items such as: erasers, pencils, candy, etc. Students do not have to spend them immediately. They can save them to earn a special privilege. For example, they can earn having lunch with a buddy in the classroom. I really like this system because it incorporates some life/money skills as well. It works very well in my room.

Comments: I love this idea of "turtle tokens." I think that if students are given the opportunity to earn something positive such as these, and then have the opportunity to buy things they want using them, then the incidents of public and negative discipline will decrease significantly.

Comments: This solution is helpful because it is not calling direct attention to students who are behaving badly by having them stand and drop their "clip" down. This solution will cause those students to realize that if they start behaving they will receive their own tokens.

Comments: This is a great solution! I may use it when I teach. I like that instead of just marking up or down the student according to their behavior, a positive reinforcement such as a coin would be a more positive approach. This would cause the student to want to become more well behaved knowing that if they are they can buy a prize at the end of the week.

Comments: I especially liked this because the students were earning rewards based on "above" expectations and not just for doing what was expected of them. I also liked the focus on positive behavior rather than giving negative attention.
