Card Flip

Why should I do it:

It provides student with comfort and limits
You remain in control of the environment
Provides clear, consistent, & predictable rules and expectations
Provides a visual cue for behavior
 

When should I do it:

When a student breaks a rule or whose actions are disruptive enough to require a formal consequence
 

How do I do it:

Always provide consequences to students in the most non-emotional state possible. If needed, take a time out for yourself before implementing consequence
Be brief. Use fewest words possible to explain consequence
Give a consequence for the behavior every time it happens.
Have the student explain what they will do differently next time
