A behavior contract is a short agreement that names one clear goal, what the student will do, how the teacher will help and what the student earns when they reach the goal. The basic contract puts those parts in order and ends with three signature lines for the student, teacher and a family member. Writing the goal in the student's words helps.
The daily check-in version adds a weekly grid. It lists three goals across Monday to Friday with Y, tilde and N for met, almost and not yet. A teacher initials line sits under each day, so a family can see what happened without a long note. A box below the grid asks what the student earns for meeting a set number of checks.
Contracts work best when the student helps write them and the goals are small and positive, such as 'start work within two minutes' instead of 'stop being off task.' Review the contract on the date you set, and change it if it is not working.
Add the student's name, your name and the week in the fill-in boxes, then print.
How to use them
- Fill in the student's name, your name and the date.
- Choose the basic contract or the daily check-in.
- Write the goals together with the student.
- Everyone signs, and the family gets a copy.
- Review on the date you chose and adjust.
Classroom tips
- Keep each goal to one observable action, like 'raise my hand before I speak'.
- Send the daily check-in home on Friday and ask the family to initial it.
- Keep the reward small and quick so it matches the effort.
- End each contract with a review, even if the news is good.
Notes on this page
- These forms support your school's own procedures and do not replace them. Follow your school or district rules for records, reporting and family contact.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a contract last?
Two to four weeks is a good start. Review it on the date you write on the form, then renew, change or end it. A shorter contract keeps the goal fresh, and a review date tells everyone when the plan will be looked at again.
Who should sign the contract?
The student, the teacher and a family member. A signature shows that all three have read and agreed to the plan. If a family member cannot sign in person, send the contract home in a folder and ask for it to be returned.
What if the student does not meet the goal?
Treat it as information. Check whether the goal is too big, the support is missing or the reward does not matter to the student, and then adjust.
