Classroom Behavior Management Tips 36 to 40

"Points System"
|
"I introduced my students to a points system that required them to
earn points. They could gain or lose points based on their behavior. They
use the points on Fridays to purchase goodies, homework passes, freetime
passes, or what ever was the center of attraction for the week. I also assign
points to field trips, field days, and other school related programs. The
students have to have the required points in order to participate."

"Tech Credit Cards"
|
"I give my 5th-8th grade students "credit cards" with 5 punches at the beginning of the semester. Students lose punches for being late to class, missing assignments, and for leaving the room at any time (classes are short, so disruptions are minimized). Students at the end of the year with 5 remaining punches (2 cards for the entire year, 10 punches total) are treated to a party of their choosing. It's instills a sense of responsibility, as most students have not needed the credit card second semester."

"Give Me Two!"
|
"I ask students to give me two: 2 eyes on me, 2 hands on desk (no moving), 2 feet on the floor, 2 ears listening. The response is immediate!"
|
"Line Up!"
|
"To ensure safe opening and closing of a classroom door while students may be lined up, place a strip of wide tape on the floor that clears the swing of the door. Use this line as the beginning spot for the students to always line up at. This also allows for the free flow of movement in or out of the classroom, while the class is lined up."

"Turn it around"
|
"When I have children in my class that constantly fusses/play with stuff (This is great with the ADHD kids)and my gentle reminders do not seem to make a difference with their ability to stop goofing off....I turn the desk around so their tummy is up against the back of the desk. It is a quiet way to keep them from messing around."
