Students who track their own behaviors gain greater control over those behaviors. Self-Check Behavior Checklist Maker is a free application that allows teachers to quickly create checklists that students can use to monitor their behavior in the classroom.  Behavior checklists can be used to help both general-education and special-needs students to manage their behaviors in academically demanding and least-restrictive settings. (For suggestions on how to use behavior checklists, download How To: Improve Classroom Behaviors Using Self-Monitoring Checklists.)

• To browse student self-monitoring items, select any of the categories from the 'Select Checklist' drop-down menu. Survival-skill ideas for the selected category will then load into the 'Selected Checklist' box. Click on the arrow next to items that you would like to add to your customized self-monitoring checklist and those items will load into the 'Your Checklist' box. Items in this box will go into your final checklist.

• You can edit or add your own notes to any self-monitoring item in the 'Your Checklist' box by clicking the 'edit' button that appears next to it. A window will open and you will be able to make your edits or  type in your notes.
