This programme is built on consistency. Noticing the good and rewarding it, managing as much of the unwanted behaviour with good choice questioning and time recovery. If sheets are issued for negative behaviour, remembering it is resolution we are aiming not for compliance by force, but a negotiated outcome.

If students still have difficulties, then target or tracker sheets recording their successes on a daily basis will help them see that you really are trying to help them to manage their behaviour positively.

Levelling is a key and with green sheets, it is important to issue sheets appropriate to the individual where possible. Look for opportunities to reward that additional effort a student has made over and above what would normally be expected.
Where students constantly achieve at the highest level making issuing them a problem, give them sheets daily or weekly if needed with x10 or x5 written on the top ie equivalent to 10 or 5 sheets

Catch them being good is a strategy which is used extensively in this programme and does require some differences in approach, especially if it is new to you.
