  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!)
Another option would be to have personal behavior charts on the student's desks. This way the teacher can just go to the student's desk and move them down without making it public. Then the student should be given the opportunity if their behavior improves to be able to go back into the green. This gives them something to work for instead of just concluding that the day was a bad day for them because the overall goal is to have good behavior not to just punish bad behavior.

Comments: This is not something I would use in my classroom. Although, I do not intend to publicly shame a student, I do feel that having the class see the behavior consequences adds to the consequence making it less likely for the student to repeat the behavior. Also, having it on their desk, I would worry that the student would change the marker place.

Comments: I think it would be private, to an extent, but I also think students would see the teacher at other kid's desks. It would still "call them out".
