Interview students to identify what they like to motivate positive behaviors, including work completion. Then use an "If ___, Then__." Make goals achievable to increase success and confidence.
Individual Contract
Clearly define each individualized goal with the student and document them on this form. Explain the importance of signing a contract and share it with a parent to increase accountability.
Reflection
Reflection is the key to learning and changing behavior. After the BIG emotions are over, ask the student to take time to reflect on their actions.
Desk Charts
Use individualized student charts like these to track student behavior. Start small and make the goal achievable to build a sense of confidence. Then use a larger chart.
