Feedback Tally Form - Behavior Plan
The Feedback/Tally Behavior Plan
Within the basic structure there is a lot of flexibility designed to meet the needs of the teacher and the students. Although each plan is individualized for that particular student's behavioral, organizational, social, and/or emotional concerns there is an overall template that can be used to implement the plan.
When creating a Feedback/Tally plan for a student, the counselor first sits down with the teacher and/or parent to get a sense of what is the primary concern that needs to be targeted. There is a world of possibilities. From here we make a list of the behaviors that the teacher/parent/student would like to work on. Then we select, sometimes with the student, the top 3 areas.
In addition, we talk about how the feedback/tall form will be implemented. This is strictly up to the teacher and the child's needs. Some teachers mark the tally as they see the student working on the behavior (in this case the form is on the desk). Some teachers have the students bring the form to them at designated times in the day for the feedback tally. The forms are sent home daily attached to the assignment notebook.
There is no reward or punishment linked to this feedback tally plan, however some parents like to reinforce the growth at home. At the end of the week the teacher or counselor sets aside some time to reflect on the week and see how the student did in reaching the behavior goal. The behavior goal is changed as needed. It is very important that the teacher does not put a reward or punishment component to the form. Over the years we have found that the feedback is the key.
Here is a sample of the form.
