Students are responsible for monitoring their own behavior throughout the day. • Positive choices are celebrated through praise, positive reinforcement, individual tickets, and class compliments. • Respect Contract • Reflection on behaviors that need ”fixing”

  8. How Do We Use Fix It Tickets In Our Classroom? • Everyone makes a mistake sometimes. • We all deserve a moment to take a break and fix our mistake. • If a break doesn’t help and the behavior continues, a fix it ticket will help students reflect on their behavior. • When a “fix-it” ticket is filled out, depending on severity, additional strategies will be implemented, such as a phone call home to discuss behavior.
