		<description><![CDATA[Over on Smart Classroom Management, the site where he presents tips based on his book, Michael Linsin offers three reasons for not using behavior contracts. After a brief introduction that is generally pretty accurate, he argues that (a) &#8220;behavior contracts label students,&#8221; (b) &#8220;external rewards are short term,&#8221; and (c) &#8220;follow through is a bear.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over on The Adventures of Miss Behavior, Enedelia Sanner has a post about getting data on her children&#8217;s behavior before introducing interventions. As I suspect is true for most folks, she doesn&#8217;t always gather baseline data, even though she&#8217;s an informed behavior analyst.
