    Q1) We've had success with behavior charts when they are tailored to the student, followed through by adults & shared with others. #mnlead
  • teacherjean55 Mar 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1) I don't use any of those things. I build relationships with my students and provide intermittent/surprise rewards for positives. #mnlead

    A1 Best behavior management plan is a lesson plan designed to actively engage all learners. #mnlead

    A1 There is a benefit to having a school, "speak the same language" when it comes to behavior, expectations, "our kids" not "yours" #mnlead

    just curious! What don't you like about class dojo? #mnlead

    I was afraid to ask. #mnlead

    Yep. I think we could pare away a lot of "initiatives" if we truly focused on relationships. #mnlead
    In reply to @korytellers
  • MinSchroeder314 Mar 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1 Depends on the kid. Some need the bright shiny thing, especially when changing Beth or doing things that are tough. #mnlead

  • MPapaEdu Mar 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1: We encourage Ss with shout outs, students of the month & other accolades. They all contribute to increasing positive climate #mnlead
  • rrv_mary Mar 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1) we've had some success w/ T who are consistent, include use of positive to reinforce expectations. Many using clip charts. #mnlead

    #mnlead
    • millardamy2 Mar 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT
      These work for a short period of time-then lose their effectiveness. The connection between a T & S is the best classroom management#mnlead
  • korytellers Mar 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    Do you think that sometimes it is because we feel so rushed that we don't allow enough time for the relationships+ #MNLead

    Q1 #mnlead. A few teachers use a similar strategy, but not all do.
  • MinSchroeder314 Mar 12 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1 Goal is always internal motivation, "satisfaction of knowing I did/tried everything I could." Mom tears of joy/pride #mnlead
  • chris_bussmann Mar 12 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1: Those things can work, depending on where a S is on the RTI pyramid. The 5% often are not into prizes...at least for long. #mnlead
  • khurdhorst Mar 12 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    that's why I do love PBIS. I love the lang for the whole sch. All ppl inc custodial & kitchen staff need to be on board. #mnlead
    In reply to @bretdom

    A1 It does matter when it comes to the situation. Some do need the celebrations of positives. Regardless,it's about knowing our S's. #mnlead
