5.+Implement+a+system+of+positive+consequences

 Canter believes it is important to implement a system incorporating positive consequences so that students are acknowledged and praised for their appropriate behaviour. Positive and trusting relationships need to be established between teacher and student.

This can be achieved through warm interactions, being supportive and respectful and treating everyone fairly. When the teacher establishes class rules and consequences it is necessary to inform students of the positive consequences for when they behave as desired.

This can be through tokens or raffle tickets resulting in a raffle draw and prizes being won, notes home to parents or group rewards such as marbles in a jar leading to a reward, when the whole class is behaving appropriately (Canter & Canter, 2001).
