Classroom Adjustment: Group Contingency

Troubleshooting Students lose interest in the reward: Refresh reinforcers and provide student choice. Goals are rarely met: Lower the criteria to help build success over time. Goals are met too easily: Gradually increase expectations. Students blame peers: Use positive language and avoid identifying individual performance. One student consistently sabotages for entire group: Provide an individual contingency for that student and remove them from the group contingency.
