Interfering behaviors such as non-compliance, inattention, aggression, interrupting, and stimulation all impact the ability for the student to learn and the overall learning environment of the classroom.
While there are countless behavior management tools available, I have provided the ones that worked especially well for me over the years. Remember, in order for a behavior strategy to work, the student has to be invested in the process and the reward!

PICTURE PUZZLES
This has always been one of my favorite and most effective behavior tools. Students receive feedback as puzzle pieces are quickly placed or removed based on the student’s actions. Highly motivating and easily individualized. Click on the image to download detailed instructions on how to create and use this great tool!
WORKING TOGETHER
Need a behavior tool that can get your whole class working together? Students choose the reward they are working towards and the teacher moves the pin up (and down) as the predetermined target behavior is (or is not) demonstrated.

THE NOTE HOME
Sending a daily note home is a powerful tool to document behaviors, stay in touch with parents, and help students assess their day. I have created four templates which have been saved in Microsoft Word so that you can tweak them to suit your specific needs.
