Individual Plan

We have one third grade boy who has trouble regulating his behavior. After trying a behavior contract, and logical consequences were tried and eventually proved ineffective we are trying something new!
Our principle used this new method with her own child when he was in school.
The student has a behavior report everyday with numbers one through four, one being low and four high. When implementing this plan we met with the student and parents and agreed on consequences for every number. If the student fails to show his parents the form, or "loses" it, that counts as an automatic 'one.'

For this particular student, 'three' = not going out on the playground after school, but going straight home, 'two' = no hat to school/no video games, and 'one' = dad picks out clothes, or dinner and all after school time spent in bedroom.

This number is earned over the whole day, if he goes down to a low number he has the ability to bring it back up as the day progresses. Specials and social time count as well. At the end of the day he checks in with teachers and then gets signatures from his classroom teacher and the principal.

So far this system is having positive results. Time will tell if this motivation holds!
