I use this with my special education students that push out to general education classrooms. They take a folder with this sheet of paper inside that the general education teacher can record comments on based on their behavior. Some teachers prefer to just put a check or a minus to let me know whether or not the student met the desired behavior. The three most basic positive behavior expectations are included.
