Behavior Management Strategies

1. Privilege Stickers
* Students get a sticker for the day when they perform in the classroom as a peace builder. They receive the sticker, get a hug and a affirmating praise.
2. Bell System (ring the bell): When the teachers ring the bell the students must put their pencils down.
3. Clabbing: When the students are not listening anymore the teachers do the clabbing from one to five times. The students will get back to their group and pay attention to the teachers.
4. Peace cover the mouth: Teacher say one, two three peace. Then the students would put their two fingers on the mouth get back to tasks.
5. High Five: Teachers give students high five whenever the student is not paying close attention anymore.
6. Give a dollar: Sometimes we give the student the dollar before we begin the lesson. When the student have the dollar in their hands they know that they have to be good.
