I was teaching some kids with severe emotional and behavioral disabilities, and nothing worked. I ended up implementing a level system that was used by the therapeutic treatment school in our district, but even that didn't work well. I think this Cool Points system would have been a great idea.

Those links are in the first paragraph of this post. As far as the negativity and shaming people speak about the clip chart, I actually chuckle at that because I have experienced NONE of that from my students or parents. In my classroom we think of one another as family. We speak very openly to one another about our disabilities, behaviors, goals and what we each need to improve on, and we help one another to reach their goals!! No one is ever shamed or embarrassed!! We all support each other and try to help everyone do better!! Hope this answers your concerns!

That is an amazing visual for the kids to see and be reminded of what they can earn! I had a couple of questions. First, what do you do for kids who need reinforcement more frequently? I am thinking of kids who don't need minute by minute reinforcement, but also can't wait until the end of the day? Last, when I have seen criticisms of clip charts, one of the main ones is that some people feel that it is shaming, as the clips are available for all to see (good and bad), and that sometimes there are kids that are always in trouble and can be excluded. Of course, most of those reporting this are in gen ed settings. I am just curious if you have experienced that, or had any negative reaction (aside from being upset about moving from doing a good job to not so good) from either kids or their families? Just to be clear, I am not criticizing, just wondering as I contemplate doing something like this. I want to make sure I have thought about all possible issues before I implement any changes to what I am currently doing.
