Behavior Tracker

This was an idea that was used by another 6th grade teacher that I worked with in my student teaching. He had two students that would often not comply when a teacher would ask them to get to work. They would get up and leave the classroom or just close their notes or books and refuse to work. He set up a tracker with the two students and had them rate themselves on how on-task they were during class and percentage of work completed. Each teacher that taught them during rotations had to rate the student on on-task behavior and work completed. This worked well for these two students. The students had to be responsible and honest with themselves and then compare that with what the teacher would give them. The teacher could use this to track how the student is working in class. The teacher also used this to show parents and track behavior that may need to be dealt with. Great data to keep track of behaviors. I was able to see real improvement in compliance.
