I quit using the system myself because I had a hard time remember to move their pictures (I used pictures instead of clips) up...I just literally got too busy teaching to remember to reward every kid individually. I had parents complain at conferences that their child felt "bad" that I never moved their pictures up. <br /><br />This year I'm using a class rewards system and table reward system to encourage my class to work together as a class to earn rewards/make good choices. I still need a system in place to warn students who are starting to make the wrong choices so I switched my system. Click here to check it out: http://inspiredbykindergarten.blogspot.com/search/label/Behavior%20Management<br /><br />I like this a lot better and find that after about the first month of school I rarely have to use the system because kids understand what is expected of them in class. The work hard for class/table awards and I feel like it helps all the students feel they are working together to make our classroom run smoothly.<br /><br />It's important to me that we are a team and that we all play a part in creating a classroom where everyone feels safe, loved and successful.Michelle Risthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841131980097658189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746059606500359667.post-33427969798005017572013-12-04T22:36:53.311-06:002013-12-04T22:36:53.311-06:00My children's school began using the clip char...My children's school began using the clip chart this year and I am NOT happy. I actually came across your blog looking for actual research done on this topic. I have been searching for two months and have found NO study that supports the use of the clip system. I will say that in my one child's class I had a talk with the teacher, have been observing the class when I am in there ... and have found that it is fair. In my other child's class it is not fair at all. Child get their clip moved up for basically being (for lack of a better word ...) brown-nosers. The kids who are shy and quiet and do their work get nothing, boys who have a little energy never move their clip up. But several girls who are sneaky, smart, and know how to use the system make enough of a show to get the teacher to move their clips up for rewards. As a result myself and other parents in the room have to deal with very disappointed children who are trying to please the teacher, but can not attain her approval. I am just waiting for them to give up and the behavior to escalate. If there is indeed scientific research that shows this is a PROVEN strategy then please let me know. But since it appears to just be something every teacher is finding on pinterest, I think it should be reexamined. I am not saying it might not be a good strategy, but it is a difficult strategy to implement. And if not done properly it impacts a teacher's relationship with her students (and the parents) as well as the children's future behaviors and self esteem. It also creates children who think it is okay to look for praise and do anything to get it (this time from the teacher, but in the future it could be peers ... yikes!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746059606500359667.post-7815033277643715352013-03-15T20:43:26.998-05:002013-03-15T20:43:26.998-05:00Hi, I love your blog, I'm an English teacher f...Hi, I love your blog, I'm an English teacher from Guatemala.

To walk up to the front of the class and move your clip down is horrible. My son use to like the color red and now hates it. For a child to gage their success of the school day by a color is idiotic. I have seen how moving up makes him happy and how when his clip is moved down he is emotionally devastated. Mainly this is used as a form of humiliation because anyone who walks into that classroom can judge your child. I work with pre-k and there are many different ways to positively change a child's behavior without humiliation.

Such interesting o...Hi teachers! Love this topic! Such interesting opinions. I'm a huge fan of the whole brain teaching rules - we recite them every morning with gestures! Whenever a classroom rule is being broken I LOVE that I can say "What's rule #2?" and my whole class can repeat it back to me. It's clear and short - perfect for Kinders.<br /><br />My school has "banned" clip / card systems because of their public nature. I never liked the idea of a parent/teacher/volunteer walking into my room and making an assumption about a child based on their color/clip position.<br /><br />Now here's where I want to post something...controversial. While I don't like a wall mounted display, I'm not ENTIRELY opposed to a little embarrassment as a means of correcting behavior. Wait! Don't boo me yet - hear me out! I might be a little old school in my thinking but often a quick moment of embarrassment address and solves behavioral problems. For example, one of my top kiddos interrupts me CONSTANTLY. One on one, small group, whole group...doesn't matter. He finds it impossible to keep his thoughts in his head. We've discussed the issue together, decided on alternatives, even read a Julia Cook book, but nothing was helping. Last week during whole group instruction, he blurted out "MY dog got sick last night!" In a neutral voice I said, "Oh no! You've interrupted my instructions and that's not okay. Please apologize to your class for wasting time." He lowered his head and told the class he was sorry. Embarrassing? Yes. Soul crushing, life ruining, self esteem breaking? No. And we have not had that issue since! <br /><br />Again, I LOVE my students and I'm not some monster who seeks out opportunities to harass Kinders. But I do think embarrassment serves as a natural and sometimes effective consequence.

So I came across your blog while looking for ideas. I admit I havent read all of the above, however I was at a conference a few years ago and the topic was behaviour management. Whilst their idea of behaviour management was similar to your chart ie levels that children move between. For younger children they recommended a circle (no sharp corners) in the particular colour they had moved to was given to them. From what I remember this was primarily for those who moved down levels. Giving them a tactile object they said reminded the child constantly at their desk that they needed to think of their behaviour and also made the teacher concentrate on observing that child/ren and swapping the colour when the child made a better choice. Just food for thought with little ones :)<br />Will have to put this as anonymous because I don't have any of the other profilesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746059606500359667.post-38232865064554667652012-12-30T20:15:03.023-06:002012-12-30T20:15:03.023-06:00I have a chart- all children start their day on gr...I have a chart- all children start their day on green. They 'bump' their number (no names) up or down according to their behavior. If they get to purple they get a note that says "I've had a great day, I made it to purple!" I have these notes made on a sheet of labels so that I can stick it on a fun note pad paper and they can share it when they get home. I also have a class reward this year, that if everyone stays on green or above that we get to add a piece to our puzzle (last month it was making a gingerbread man, this month we're putting together a snowman) When our 'puzzle' is complete we have a celebration- gingerbread man video (that was the Dec theme), principal reads a story... something simple- and takes no more than 10 minutes.<br />I do have a kiddo that doesn't care about the chart or colors- and so he has an individual plan- earning chips/cotton balls/buttons throughout the day (Sam, Thank you for sitting on your bottom, take a cotton ball), when his container is full he can make something with it to take home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746059606500359667.post-8583603692475112202012-08-07T23:26:11.964-05:002012-08-07T23:26:11.964-05:00I like to show the kids a diagram on the white boa...I like to show the kids a diagram on the white board.

I have been teaching for 19 years, I have taught 5th, 2nd, 1st, and I currently teach kindergarten which I love. I even teach during the summer. I teach grammar and vocabulary to 6th and 7th graders. <br />This last school year in kinder was really hard. I too ran after children who decided it was ok to leave the room and our yard. I would end up in the office practically having a heart attack at the end of my sprint. I was kicked, bitten, punched in the face. It got so bad that the principal was sending me any extra adults that were available during the day so I could teach and they could remove the multitude of issues. I use the chart and for this class it worked a while, then for those who had the issues it did not work at all. It started finally working a little better when I started the day with everyone on the highest level then it was up to them to keep it there. <br />I feel for you and your situation. I can only hope that this coming year will be better. I believe it cannot be any worse. Enjoy the rest of your summer.<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042169156144889329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746059606500359667.post-89996820258368472462012-07-06T14:26:41.357-05:002012-07-06T14:26:41.357-05:00I have given you an award!
