Choice Making
The purpose of choice making is not to allow students to avoid tasks, but rather to give them more control over their own learning, as opposed to merely complying with teacher-led activities. Research shows that choice making seems to lend itself to independent work activities or to one-on-one instructional situations.

Those who have had years of experience with various student behaviors and have seen it all, can also be a good source of information. They can suggest strategies that they have used in similar situations. In particular, special education teachers, who often receive training in specialized behavioral interventions, can prove an especially valuable resource.
Repeated attempts to get a student started on a task are the source of great frustration for many educators. The prevailing belief holds that once a student becomes compliant or engaged, it is easier for a teacher to maintain the appropriate behavior through more traditional means (e.g., positive feedback or praise).

As they develop this procedure, teachers may want to take note of the types of reinforcement the student inadvertently receives by engaging in the problem behavior. For example, a student who acts out and gets sent out of class is reinforced by not having to complete his or her work. A student who clowns around and jokes in class is reinforced with the attention of peers. Once a teacher recognizes other sources of reinforcement, these sources can be decreased or eliminated and replaced with reinforcement for the positive, incompatible behavior.
