Hello Everyone! Where did September go? I feel like Labor Day just happened, and here I am, prepping for October already. October is my favorite month out of t he year, but as an educator it is also the busiest month with the first round of parent teacher conferences, meetings, and professional development days. In the hustle and bustle of September, our building managed to get back to the basics with a school-wide reward we have done in the past. When our school started our SW-PBS journey back in 2010, we looked for ways to reward our students building-wide. When you have such a diverse age range like we do, that can be sort of difficult; finding something that will motivate a kindergartner and and eighth grader can prove to be challenging. Nonetheless, we were up to the challenge! So we started a system were the students earned "leaps" on days when the whole building went without an office referral, and/or earned 100% attendance. At certain milestones, we give the students a reward our bulletin board reflects our school theme for the year. Check out how we track this year's progress. in our building: This reward falls on our reward continuum under the Short-Term category. The student body is able to earn these rewards within 10-15 school days.
Rewards So how do we rewards our student body? We look for free and time-efficient rewards. Some rewards we utilize are: -Extra recess time -Technology time -Movie time during lunch -Social time for Jr. high students -Popcorn during lunch -Teacher's Choice How do you reward your student body? We would love to hear your ideas! Have a great start to October!
