The Backup System

• Small Backup Responses
• Quiet, private confrontation between teacher and
  student
• Speak softly with student (ear warning, private
  meeting)
• Medium Backup Responses-traditionally used in
  school-time out, loss of privileges, detention,
  parent conferences
• Risky-may produce feelings of hostility
• Stay private
• Large Backup Responses-Very public-sending
  student to the office-may lead to suspension or
  expulsion

Responsibility Training

• Purpose of limit setting is stopping behavior
• Need cooperation of the students
• Responsibility training helps teachers get that
  cooperation
• Find something the students value-incentive
  system to teach cooperation

Responsibility Training, cont.

• Penalty-take PAT time away for time spent
  off-task
• Rule of Penalties-every penalty implies a
  corresponding bonus
• PAT (Preferred Activity Time)-permitting students
  to hang with each other and do nothing
• Teaching and having fun are blended into one
  activity that the students come up with

7
Omission Training

• One to students chronically ruin PAT time
• Individualized incentive program for defiant
  students so they dont continually ruin PAT time
  for others
• Make defiant students heroes by being able to add
  time to PAT
• Private meeting to set goals
• Class meeting explaining added time with class
  help
• Process
• Explain time is added and applaud defiant student
• Phase out OT phase
