Mandi, I see your concern with some students having trouble identifying the problem behavior and think including visual cues in addition to the whole group expectations is a great idea. I do like how the "Think Letter" allows for some self determination and the student creating their own plan of action to get back on track with behavior. If the teacher identified a target behavior and then a replacement behavior and made that a part of the "Think Letter" I think you'd have enough support for the more challenging situations. Overall, getting rid of the typical "clip chart" seems like a great idea!
