Interesting that the school uses POP (Proof of Pride) tickets as positive reinforcement. These are given to students when they show and demonstrate appropriate behaviors in all areas of school. All staff is included in the acknowledgments of good behavior.

Ms. O lets her student set their own classroom rules (students put the rules into their own language). She then posts the expectations on the wall for referral if and when students misbehave.

-Be consistent with rules and expectations (swear words-- establishing rules early and often and immediate when these defiance occur)
-Enforce the rules that the schools require
