Case: Walking in a Line
Ms. Blanchard's 5th grade class is fairly well-behaved. They adhere to most classroom rules and can be managed pretty well in the classroom using a clip chart. However, in the halls it is a totally different story. The students feel that since they are 5th graders, and see other 5th grade classes not having to walk in a line, they shouldn't have to either. Ms. Blanchard has tried a reward system, threatening to clip students down, etc. But, it seems as if the entire class is always misbehaving so she just doesn't know what to do. Other teachers, especially primary grade teachers who have students looking to 5th grade as an example, are beginning to make comments. What can be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel that part of this problem is that when you threaten to move a student's clip down, it is not the same as actually moving the clip down. Threats and warnings can sometimes feel disconnected from the actual punishment, especially when they cannot physically see that they are getting in trouble. I feel that perhaps the punishment could have occasionally been forgotten by the time the students are back in class. Perhaps while they are walking, have a clipboard and write down names of students misbehaving. Once the class returns, move the clips down in front of the whole class and explain why you are to show that you were taking note of the misbehavior and showing that they will not be able to get away with it. |

| Comments: Ensuring that one follows through with threats, such as moving a clip down, will help ensure that respect is earned. Bringing a clip board while walking in the halls allows students to see that their disobedience is punished right then and there. |
