1. Contingency Contract: this is also
referred to as a behavioral contract; it is basically a document that specifies
a contingent relationship between the completion of a specified behavior and
access to or a delivery of a specified reward. The contract should be developed
with the teacher and the student to modify academic performance/work
completion. The recommended goal tracking apps or check-in, check-out sheets
could be used to help set goals.
a. Ideas
for contingency contract: working for increments of time to earn points or
numbers off of work, turning in one assignment per day and then working up.
Make sure you pick a goal that is obtainable and then work toward bigger goals
as you see success. (Start with math like we discussed then add in other
subjects as you see consistent success).
