2. KEEPING CONTROL
BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

The second slice of the pie-chart deals with getting the student under instructional control. The most effective method is to make the student successful by teaching quickly and well and by providing feedback and rewards for diligent effort and for successful work.

Much of this can be accomplished with the judicious, immediate use of praise for specific behaviors; the setting and following of simple rules; the acknowledgment of appropriate behavior with praise; providing preferred activities or with points that can be used to earn privileges.
