How do you address behavior issues that are resolved with a reminder and positive encouragement? Addressing the problem early will create a better classroom environment and experience for everyone. A Fix-It Ticket allows for quick communication addressing the issue to the student, core teacher, and parents. Track the tickets on a spreadsheet to give you data and a record.
Fix-It Ticket
The teacher fills out the top of the Fix-It Ticket including: the student’s name, date, behavior, and checking the box associated with the core classroom rule that is being challenged. The student fills out the two questions: why does this behavior need fixing and how can it be fixed. The art teacher hands off the ticket to the core teacher allowing for a 3-way discussion (art teacher, core teacher, and student to happen). The parents are kept in the loop by signing.

Explain Fix-It Tickets to the Students
While teaching and setting classroom expectations, explain the Fix-It Tickets to the students. It should not be a surprise to them when they receive one. Give reminders during class as needed and address behavior disruptions as soon as possible.
Printing Fix-It Tickets
Although the painter’s pallet is in color, print black and white on colored paper. Cut the paper at 5.5 inches, or in half.
