Behavior charts don't build internal motivation. Here's what does.

Many K-12 professionals see behaviors considered to be defiant or lazy, even though classroom management systems are in place.

They also don't support important skills such as time-perception, episodic memory, future pacing, or strategic thinking.

In this video I share why behavior charts work for some students and not others, and what skills we actually need to have internal motivation.
