The school's behavior management plan was highly ineffective, as the students did not care about the rewards that were offered. The only action that was taken in my classroom was yelling, turning off the lights, and making the students go to their seats and put their heads down. I know that my CT was fed up with the school, but I don't think she was making a huge effort to make her classroom a positive environment. How could you step up and make a change in such a negative school environment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You could ask the students what they want at the end of each week or quarter, etc. Have them work towards this with incentive points. Hold them individually responsible, but also hold them responsible as a group. This would allow for management in a positive way.
