Behavior Plan

During this semester, I witnessed another method for managing non-compliant student behavior demonstrated by my cooperating teacher. A particular student refused to do any sort of work; he would not look either of us in the eye, would not pick up his pencil, or even participate in interactive class activities. As this continued for a couple of weeks, my cooperating teacher decided to place this student on a behavior plan. This plan included an attitude measurement chart and a completion chart of all assignments and activities the class did during the school day. If the student complied, did all the assignments, had a good attitude, and had his parents sign the plan each night, he was then allowed a special reward each day. Within a few weeks, he was completing most of his assignments with a much better and positive attitude!
