When they fill up their card they can choose a coupon (eat with the teacher, bring your favorite book, no shoes day- all things that are FREE for me.) We also do whole class compliments that we can earn or lose as a class. Every 10 compliments they earn a reward like extra recess or a show and tell. Another really effective thing for me is secret student. I choose one student at the beginning of the day and one in the PM and then all I have to say is "I hope my secret student is working hard/listening/being kind/etc" and they will all start doing it. If the secret student has a good day they earn our class a compliment. This is only my second year teaching, so I am slowly figuring out classroom management. :) It seems like it gets easier and more natural the longer you are doing it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736142283756995761.post-73158778003109246332014-02-11T17:42:46.350-08:002014-02-11T17:42:46.350-08:00Oh my lands!

If students win with more points there are different winners choices (ipad time, extra recess, grab bag, or piece of candy) If I win I get students recess (1 min/point for teacher) They all strive to earn points and help remind others if they are talking or not doing what they need to. I also had to divert from the Dojo, as they lost interest at about Christmas Break. jmalone@fusd1.orgmamajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872858945057762711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736142283756995761.post-79203654345790138362014-02-11T17:24:30.137-08:002014-02-11T17:24:30.137-08:00We are using Warrior bucks in our school for posit...We are using Warrior bucks in our school for positive reinforcement with behavior. I will give a student a Warrior buck for doing something I expect them to do, and other students are not doing. I then state that Suzie got a Warrior buck for following my directions, or not talking in the hallway. I do not do it all the time for the same behavior. It keeps students on their toes about when they get a Warrior buck. I also will give out a Warrior buck for any compliments we get. They are able to buy items at the store with their Warrior bucks, or attend events. The last event was a Dance Party.

I have a happy face/sad face on the board. Each time something makes me smile they get a tally mark on the :) side. If they aren't doing what they are supposed to they get a tally on the :( side. At the end of the day if there are more :), we put an overall tally mark below. Once they reach 10 they get a reward such as playdoh or puzzle time (they LOVE these 2 things). Since it's on the board they have a constant visual, and these kiddos need that. <br /><br />I do a clip chart too for individual behavior, and sometimes I'll throw in a :) tally for whole class if a table is being awesome or a handful of kids.

I, too, teach in a school with students from challenging home situations, and I have found that Whole Brain Teaching, and especially the Scoreboard, have been life-savers for the past two years. The Scoreboard allows students (as a class) to earn smileys to work their way back even after they make a few poor choices. I love how it reinforces the students working as a team to meet a goal, and it keeps them on their toes! Thanks for an inspiring post and some great pictures!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307254267141310500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736142283756995761.post-13669526196111903752014-02-10T16:44:09.476-08:002014-02-10T16:44:09.476-08:00Love the post!

The magnets are adorable, too. Our school uses PBIS Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. We reward students monthly for good behavior with a huge school wide event! I also use Class Dojo on a daily basis since learning about it at a technology conference last year. My students love it and they love seeing their names on the screen each day!<br /><br />Malloryreiber@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662858819667393731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736142283756995761.post-10119404051689401802014-02-10T15:27:16.038-08:002014-02-10T15:27:16.038-08:00Every day that my a student keeps their clip on o...Every day that my a student keeps their clip on our designated color (green) they get a paper with a star stamped on it. When they get 5 stars they get to go shopping at my store.

Behavior management seems to come second nature after teaching for awhile (at least for me- this is my 21st year) BUT I think my best hint is to focus on the positive. I always try to find kids who are doing the right thing & praise them. This seems to help the most- others are motivated to do the right thing. :-) Carol cpolston3@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
