The document discusses behavior management plans and strategies. It states that when students don't follow instructions, it is for one of two reasons: they don't understand the instructions or they choose not to follow them. Effective behavior management involves giving specific, observable instructions and having a consistent plan for consequences when instructions are or aren't followed. Consequences should be certain rather than severe, and instructions must be followed through consistently.

21. Effective consequences

certainty not severity that’s effective. The
aim is good behaviour not retribution
22. Effective consequences
Jane, that’s a warning.
The instruction is to
keep hands, feet and
objects to yourself.
• Give warnings with a reminder of the rule/
instruction
• Without emotion or counselling
• Be happy with small consequences- it’s
certainty not severity that’s effective. The
aim is good behaviour not retribution
23. Delivering consequences
Give consequences:
• Regardless of time of day, the student
involved, the possible reaction or the
number of warnings a student already has
• Tell students about how the system works- if
they know where they stand, they’ll be more
likely to make the right choice
• Emphasise choice all the time
• Don’t give instructions if you’re not prepared
to follow them through
