[QUOTE="tryingteacher, post: 64267, member: 3526"] Hi!!! I was in your same shoes last August....My advice for you is be prepared for battle not with your students but for your students. You will need to be their advocate and you will have to fight gen ed to make sure your kiddos are being educated in the least restrictive environment with mods and accomodations. What I learned was to keep my classroom behavior plan simple...I tried every fancy thing you can think of but what worked was silent lunch, moving their clips down a color and having their daily conduct grade effected. However always allow your students the chance to move back up....ie...a little one melts because he doesn't want to complete their task so their clip gets moved down a color. When they get it together move the clip back up. I also did 2 conduct grades a day one in the am and one in the pm. Behaviors that were dangerous resulted in conduct garde for that portion of the day being lowered regardless. I was lucky and had supportive parents so the conduct grades meant something at home for my students. I am an open book just ask if you need anything. One last tid bit....never let them see you sweat and when you have to pick between crying and laughing laugh. [/QUOTE]
