Hierarchy of Consequences:
Consequences for Misbehavior

Think of consequences in a hierarchy from least intrusive to most severe.
Develop a range of minor interventions to use without interrupting the instructional flow of the class.
Use the lowest-level sanction possible that will correct the problem behavior.
As the seriousness escalates or repeats, move up the "ladder of consequences."
