I use a lot of positive reinforcement in my behavior management plan.  I award good behavior points on an app called Class Dojo.  (It is like having a digital good behavior punch card.)  They earn good behavior points and can turn them in for rewards like stickers, small toys, or reward passes.

      I also award Brag Tags for individual successes.  They collect these plastic tags (similar to dog tags) on a key ring and at the end of the year they can place them on their backpacks to keep forever!

      Unfortunately, there will be times when students might need a redirection or reminder to follow a rule.  If they do not redirect after being told and I have to talk with them again I would take away a point.  

      If there is a serious infraction or a behavior the needs discussed at home I will send a note home the day of the infraction.
