14. Sample Behavioral Contract Each week, James will hand in all class work done acceptably in: Reading English Math Every Friday he will give his Reading, English, and Math teachers a travel card to check YES or NO, telling if the goal was reached. When James earns three YES checks, the following week he receives these privileges: James has the privilege of playing at lunch recess. James has __ hour(s) computer time on Monday. James goes home at 3:30 p.m. every day on the school bus. If James does not earn three YES checks, or loses his travel card, or forgets to take his travel card to his teachers on Friday, these consequences occur the following week: James spends Monday through Friday in noon detention doing school work. James has no computer time on the next Monday. James will stay after school until 4:00 p.m. on Friday and take the city bus home if he misses any noon detentions during the week. The school will call James's parents and tell them he will be getting home late.
