Rick Marshall a.k.a "Monitoring Behavior/Constructive Assertiveness"
Rick Marshall, the proclaimed leader of the group, has asked you and another person (your partner) to stand guard at opposite points of the base camp, as there was a mysterious roaring happening off in the distance. Out of fear that a destructive T-Rex may come tromping through the camp, he has asked you to find a good vantage point in the came to monitor the surroundings and making sure that your fellow stranded members are safe and secure.

As a future teacher, your placement is incredibly important when helping students. You want to make sure you are in a place where you can survey the rest of the room for students who may also need help, or are merely serving as a distraction from the rest of the class.

Below is a link that will take you to a site with multiple behavior monitoring forms. Your task is to review each form and analyze each one. Consider the following:
 * How does the form relay the message? Does it feel like a positive or negative tone is being used with the slip?
 * How much detail is used? Is it clear what the student did whether positive or negative? Can you show this to a parent without having them question you?
 * Which one would you use if you had to choose?
