Clip Chart E-Book!

Last summer while in one of my many back to school moments, I was searching for a clip chart system that  was more effective.  I wanted the "move your clip" statement to not always mean something negative.  I ran across this site  http://www.newmanagement.com/ebooks/clip_chart.html.  It's an E-Book that explains a new concept on the clip chart: you can actually have your students move UP for good behavior.

It's pretty simple!  Every child starts on Green in the middle ( Ready to Learn ) and can go either up or down depending on their choices.  I love it because it rewards good behavior!!   Sometimes all I had to say was "who gets to 'clip up' today?" and got POSITIVE results from my kids!  Very rarely did my students have to "clip down" to the very bottom ( parent contact--which I had them call as soon as they landed on that part of the clip chart which was colored black ).

Another cool thing about this system is that you could work your way back up if you had to clip down.

I shared this with my team and they all ended up using it! I got lots of compliments!

Hope this helps someone!

I'd love to hear what others are doing?
