1. What do we mean when we say that it is important to build a positive climate? Describe three strategies that you could use to build a positive classroom climate.
	example:
		A positive climate can be enhanced by providing students with positive feedback that isnīt necessarily related to a studentīs academic or social skills performance. One way to increase the number of positive interactions in a class is to provide four positive statements for every one negative or corrective statement you make to a student. Other strategies may include: spending time discussing a topic that many of the students find interesting, devoting time every day to listen to each studentīs opinions and interests, and incorporating student interests and choices into their academic studies.

2. What has research indicated about the use of punishment procedures in our schools?
	example:
		Research has indicated that an over-reliance on the use of punishment procedures in our schools can lead to an increase in problem behavior, including aggression. Using punishment to discipline students may lead to a higher number of negative interactions in the environment, including demands and corrective statements. Furthermore, an environment that is over-dependent on punitive methods of control may become a setting event that increases the likelihood of problem behavior.

3. Describe the most frequently used extinction procedure.
	example:
		The most common example of extinction is ignoring problem behavior. Ignoring problem behavior implies that you are giving as little value as possible to the problem behavior itself. Strategies include reducing eye contact, verbal interactions, and attention to the occurrence of problem behavior.
