About this resource

What's inside this resource

A four-tier behavior chart runs from "WOW!" and "Way to Go" down through "Ready to Learn" and "Stop & Think," with a "Teacher Choice" row of numbered tabs 1 through 25 meant to be cut out individually and attached to a magnet. Instead of clothespins, the design lets a teacher slide each numbered magnet between behavior levels, which the file notes makes moving students "easily... without bulky clothespins." Sized for an 11x17 print, the chart functions as a whole-class visual management tool posted on a board or wall. It supplies the level labels and 25 numbered student tabs but no accompanying lesson or script for introducing the system to students. For a student who needs more detailed data than clip-chart levels provide, time-on-task observation forms track on-task, off-task, and redirected behavior in structured intervals.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Attach magnets to the back of each numbered tab rather than clothespins, as the file specifically recommends, for easier daily movement between levels.

  • Assign each student a permanent number so tabs don't need to be relabeled as the school year progresses.

  • Print at 11x17 so all four behavior levels and the full set of 25 tabs remain legible from across the room.

Skills covered

  • Classroom behavior self-monitoring — the teacher (and, once introduced, students) move a numbered tab between four labeled tiers to reflect current behavior status.
