Removing privileges is an excellent way to modify student behavior as it fits the way society functions outside of the school walls. People who do not follow the rules in society quickly learn that the consequences of their actions are the forfeiture of freedoms and privileges. Numerous privileges already exist or can be created for use in the classroom. For example, students who complete their work neatly and on time might be allowed to play a computer game. If proper behavior is not exhibited, remove the privilege.
Consistency is the best policy .
A great way to foster discipline problems is to be inconsistent with assignments, punishment, and rules. For example, an assignment may be due yet only half the students have completed the assignment. If the teacher extends the deadline so that more students can complete the activity, it is saying to the students that it is okay to skip assignments as there will be an extension. This practice only results in the teacher's loss of credibility. Know each student well .
