Modified Self-Recording
As I was reading the information covered in Chapter 11 about teaching students how to manage their own behavior I initially did not think most of the students that I work with would be able to do this very effectively. A couple of my high school students can not write well and tallying on any kind of chart would be a very challenging feat. However, I was thinking that if I really wanted my students to self record, as opposed to keeping tallies in a chart I could use small buckets or velcro boards. For example, if during a period the period of time the student was on task, they could put a block into the "on task bucket" or onto the "on task board" and vice versa for off task behavior. This would eliminate some of the fine motor problems that I was initially thinking about.

Shayla those are very good ideas. What we used to do in a high school classroom was to have students purchase a cup of beans (with fake money) and have them pour it into a bigger container. Once the container was filled, the class would be allowed to watch a movie for the entire period. It is a type of token system.
