{"Image DocumentName": "4:1 Ratio Establishes a predictable, positive environment", "Image ImageDescription": "Appropriate behavior receives more attention than inappropriate. Note to Presenter: More information is available on page of the SW-PBS Team Workbook. 4:1 Ratio. Another important point in building positive school-wide and classroom environments is to ensure that appropriate behavior receives much more attention (at a higher ratio) than inappropriate behavior. Reavis, Jenson, Kukic & Morgan (1993) recommend a ratio of 4:1; four comments in response to desired student behavior to one response to student misbehavior. Interactions with students are considered positive or negative based on the behavior of the student at the time the attention is given, not the demeanor of the teacher. Remember when we talked about how teachers don\u2019t take advantage of the use of positive feedback? A goal of 4:1 helps us all take advantage of this powerful and effective tool we have. It\u2019s free too!
