Behavioral Management System
The clip chart consists of a chart that has
been divided into levels. All of the children start the day on Ready to Learn.
Then, during the course of the day, the children move their clothespins up or
down the chart, based on the behavioral choices they make. If they are making
good choices, they can move their clothespin up a level at a time.
Inappropriate behavior would cause them to move down a level. Since the
children start in the middle of the chart, they have numerous opportunities to
work their way up the chart. This really helps the children realize that they
have to have self-control and be responsible for their actions and
behavior if they want to be recognized for making good choices. Making it to
the top of the chart is not easy, but it is definitely attainable. The children
quickly realize how they must conduct themselves in order to achieve this goal.

My students clip up when they:
- go the extra mile to help a student in need.
- are the first or second to do what I ask.
- are extra polite and respectful.
- do amazingly good work.
My students clip down when
