One method for managing non-compliant student behavior is using the “thumbs-up” method. This is a particular scenario as to how this method works and is effective:
Teacher gives Student X the thumbs-up sign. She asks the student to please read pages 56-60 silently. The student then gives the teacher the thumbs-up sign and complies within 15 seconds.
If the student complies, they then receive any kind of positive consequence for their correct behavior. If the student does not comply, the student will then receive a negative consequence. This method provides auditory and kinesthetic engagement and studies have shown that compliance rose from 44 to 95% using this particular strategy.
