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!)
There are some situations in which behavior charts can be positive; for example, when a student is able to climb from the bottom of the behavior chart up, or when they start in a neutral position and are moved up by doing random good things. Alternatively, behavior charts could be based on tables, if your students are arranged in a group setting. One thing I have seen done is a teacher having three tables and three fish on the board, and, with each time that she looked up and saw the group doing what they were supposed to, she would give the fish a bubble. After three bubbles, the students would get a special snack and start all over again. This could be modified to earn five bubbles in a day and get computer time, or earn so many bubbles in a day and get extra outside time, or earn so many bubbles in a week and get treasure chest, etc. It makes sure that students are responsible not only for themselves, but also for others. |

Comments: I really like this. Giving rewards for good behavior is sometimes better than consequences for bad behavior. |

Comments: I do not like positive behavior plans that hold students accountable for the actions of others. I have worked in classrooms where the teachers have groups at tables like this. The teachers intentionally try to spread the difficult students around the room rather than placing them all at one table. Invariably, there will be tables with well behaved students and one or two off task students. They will consistently fail to meet behavior goals as a table. This sends the message to the well behaved students that it does not matter what they do. Perhaps this could owrk by grouping the challenging students at the same table. I have not seen this done before. |

Comments: The group behavior chart might be a bit too much and distracting for the students. |

Comments: Although parts are good, a group system could hurt some and help others because of other students' behaviors. |

Comments: Behavior shouldn't be a group responsibility. It needs to focus on each individual child because it could cause many conflicts with the students otherwise. |
