Consequence vs. Correction Case Studies

One of the trickiest aspects of managing behavior and culture is deciding when to give a consequence versus a correction. The question is tough because teachers must decide each scenario on a case-by-case basis and they need to do so swiftly, consistently, and repeatedly. The truth is, sometimes, we’re going to get it wrong. But, if you’ve got guidelines to help yourself make the decision and language at-the-ready, you’re more apt to get it right. This month’s Grab and Go provides you case studies to analyze, both to apply and to develop your own criteria for when to give a consequence vs. a correction.
