A daily report card (DRC) is a flexible and collaborative behavior contract between teachers, students, and parents designed to improve academic and behavioral functioning. The teacher and student identify specific behaviors to target and set specific goals for daily performance. The teacher reviews the DRC with the student at the beginning and end of the day and provides feedback to the student throughout the day. The student is positively reinforced at home or school when goals are achieved. Target behaviors can be modified over time as skills are mastered. Specifically, a DRC is thought to promote behavior change through the use of clear expectations, contingent reinforcement, specific praise, and performance feedback.
