Description
This daily chart that I have created allows teachers to communicate with parents about their child's daily behavior whether acceptable or unacceptable. On this chart there is only a happy face and a sad face because if a child receives a red face, I would always put something positive(acceptable code) so that the parent can see that although their child performed unacceptable behavior that day, they also had positive moments as well. I just use this in place of what I like to call a "Happy-medium" face. This is the face that would usually be marked yellow on most behavior charts to let the parents know that their child had an okay day and that we had to speak to them about their behavior a few times. The note section is the section that I would let the parents know what changes, if any, that I see in there child's behavior, what progress they made, and what we may or may not have to work on. No matter if the child has had an unacceptable week, I would still leave something positive in the notes to encourage the parent(s) and the students. Overall, I created this behavioral chart to keep from having to write so many details about a student's behavior when we could lessen that by writing a simple 2 or 3 letter code that describes what that student done that day. I also wanted to keep it on the positive side whether the behavior is acceptable or unacceptable because the last thing that we as teachers want, is for us or the parents to feel that all hope is lost. So instead of saying, " Your child did not follow directions today.", we could say, "John Doe is working on following directions.". I feel that if teachers and parents practice this, it will keep the child encouraged to always do their best!
