What kids do

“Write what happened before, the behavior itself and what happened after. Patterns show up after a week or two.”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. A = what happened just before B = what the student did C = what happened right after

Teacher tip

Fill in the log right after a behavior happens, while the details are fresh.

How to use it

  • Give the sheet only when the child is calm. Reflection does not work in the middle of big feelings.
  • Sit next to the student and talk it through, especially for younger kids.
  • Fill one in with the class the first time so kids see what a finished one looks like.

Watch for

Students who write what they think you want to hear. Ask follow-up questions.

Talk about it

  • Who can help you with your plan?
  • What is one thing that went well this week?

Take it further

Check in a few days later to see how the plan is working.
