Incentive Plans...It's a Team Effort!
I have thought quite a bit about behavior incentive plans within the school setting. As the inclusion ESE teacher at my school I am often asked about advice on various students...some of whom do not receive my services. I reach into my bag of tricks, reference to various behaviors, strategies and books as well as recently look back on materials obtained within my graduate research. Devising these plans can not be a lone teacher mission, there need to be at least 2 heads in on the planning and at some point the student needs to be involved as well. I think many teachers are afraid to ask for help when it comes to managing behaviors because they feel it makes them look as if they do not know how to do their job or they cant manage the student or students at hand. I wish teachers would get rid of this stigma because even though the students are in their classes, they still belong to the school and we all need teach the students...
