ABSTRACT
Behaviors—good or bad—are learned over time. The student who continually calls out may have learned through previous classroom experiences that this response was one way to get the teacher’s attention—even if the attention was negative. Just as the behavior developed over time, so will correcting the behavior. Think of this correction as relearning in a series of baby steps. With patience, consistency, and time, you and your student eventually will arrive at the desired destination. Document progress to help both you and the student notice improved behavior (see Behavior Logs).
