I think, this might occur that a teacher has at least one challenging student in her class, a child who needs extra structure and incentive to change bad behavior habits. These aren't bad kids, just children who need a little extra support, structure, and discipline.
A behavior contract is an agreement between the teacher, student, and the student's parents that sets limits for student behavior, rewards good choices, and outlines consequences for bad choices. Behavior contracts can help us mold the behavior of these students so that they no longer disrupt learning in your classroom. Thus, we can, slowly but surely, take control and see concrete improvement fast.
This type of program sends a clear message to the child that this behavior cannot continue. A minor problem with behavior contracts is that the focus is on controlling a student's behavior rather than helping the child , make wise choices. I think, behavior contracts don't often work right away, but if we are patient and consistent, we can see the results.
I think, it is critical for the student to know that we like them and that we're only disappointed in their behavior. We should be sure to let the student know that we share their goals, and both, we want what's best for the student. I think, these strategies are successful.

Hi Zohreh, I agree with you that those students considered bad require the extra support. I always believe that it is particular situations from home that cause students to behave such way, taking it out in school. Thus, we as teachers need to show that we do care and work with them towards improving their behaviour. It sure takes a lot of patience for positive results to come out of the contracts.
