RtI and Behavior

I spent Friday at an inservice on RtI and behavior. The women who did the presentation are from San Bernadino. The gave a lot of good information and also a website with forms and ideas that can be used in a classroom, school wide or district wide. The website is: www.modelprogram.com. Everyone should check it out, it may not seem worth looking at unless you are in classroom, but if I had know about this website before I started teaching, I would have had a much better start to the year.

In response to your blog, I have experienced success using time as a means to motivate a student with Autism to stay on task. My student monitored the time remainding on the task by peeling off a number from a number strip that contained numbers 1-10. So, he would peel off number 10 and 9 minutes remained until he had peeled off all numbers. Each number would be placed inside a small envelop that said,"all done."
This method proved to be very effective because it allowed for the concept of time to be visual and concrete.
