When it was mentioned she use positive instead of negative her exact words were "why should I reward him for things he should already be doing?"
Aaah! How many times have I heard a teacher say that to me when I sat down with him/her to develop a behavior support plan?
The answer is another question: "do you want him to do these things or not?"
Not that I actually say that to teachers. We have more lengthy conversations, until I can figure out how to leverage the teacher's personal interests or values into furthering the behavior support plan.
