The teacher gives a brief, gentle signal to
direct back to task any students who is just beginning to show signs of
misbehavior or non-compliance.
Type: Student Strategy
Procedure:
These ‘soft’ reprimands can be verbal (e.g., a
quiet word to the student directing them to stop engaging in problem behavior)
or non-verbal (e.g., a significant look or head shake).
