Re: new management ideas--what do you think?
Posted by KB on 8/15/08
I agree with Melissa. Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Supports have been much more successful than punitive
consequences. I thought that the ticket idea was a great plan to
start out the year. As long as you have something in place, you
will find yourself adjusting your behavior management system often
to meet the needs of your students. Good Luck!
