Like the previous module (Module 18), this module deals with Design Question 7: What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence and lack of adherence to classroom rules and procedures? Whereas Module 18 addresses recognizing and acknowledging adherence to classroom rules and procedures, this module addresses recognizing and acknowledging lack of adherence to those rules and procedures. Stated differently, this module deals with negative consequences, and the previous module deals with positive consequences.
