1 to 5 ratio of praise and positive feedback. Small group aside to help the small group, taught and told them to come back. Rtain the same expectations for appropriate behavior at all times and for all students. Using certain procedures routinely for some activities but not for others is not inconsistent: No leaving seats during discussion/presentation without permission but without permission during individual seatwork to get materials, etc. Make sure to differentiate between the activities when you teach procedures. Authors suggest beginning the year with no talking policy for independent work. When students are acclimated, introduce independent activities with relevant on-task talking permitted. Starting the year with cooperative learning groups might be challenging. Procedures or rules as presented are not reasonable, workable o appropriate. Teacher fails to monitor students closely and detects only a fraction of the inappropriate behavior creating the appearance of inconsistency.
