The BIST Behavior Steps provides an essential tool for enhancing classroom management across all grade levels. Excellent for public school or homeschool educators, this product offers versatile application.

Available in visually appealing chevron, stripes, and solid color varieties, each design differs only in terms of aesthetic appeal but not content. The colorful nature ensures an engaging display while effectively communicating necessary behavioral guidelines.

The Coded Warning System

  • Step One (Green): The non-verbal warning is a subtle hint to nudge students back on track without causing any disruption to the class.
  • Step Two (Yellow): If negative behavior continues even after the non-verbal warning, step two uses verbal reinforcement and diplomacy to correct the situation.
  • Step Three (Orange): Suggesting a time-out session in a "Safe Seat” within their current environment for students who have disregarded both prior warnings. This encourages self-reflection with minimum disruption and helps maintain classroom decorum.
  • Step Four (Red): Dedicated for excessively disruptive ones; entails redirecting them out of their regular room into buddy rooms hence maintaining a conducive learning atmosphere for others.

Versatile Implementation Options

This graphic resource comes in PDF format and can be utilized during whole group instructions or small group meetings as visual aids. Further they serve as reminders around classrooms putting proper etiquettes on display!

In Conclusion,
