  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 actually have a few students who are on individualized behavior plans in my class. These students have a small chart on their desk, one side is red and one is green. Each day they start with 6 clips on green. Clips can be moved to red for bad behavior or back to green for improving behavior. At the end of the day the number of clips left on green determines the amount of time the student has to play on the iPad at the end of the day. 6 clips=30 minutes, 5 clips=25 minutes, etc. Each day I send home a report that notifies parents of how many clips the student has on green each day and often parents include and addition reward for clips on green at home. This has worked for my first graders. I hope it helps!
