Secondary Reinforcement Program

I am currently in the B-ED program so it is imperative that my students are rewarded for proper behavior. The majority of the students in my class do not have a learning disability. Most of my students are labeled B-ED due to behavior however; I have a couple of students that are labeled B-ED due to emotional issues. They all seem to need the same structure as far as being on time to class, being prepared, acting appropriately. Even those that are not behavior issues have problems of not participating in class due to shyness or a lack of self-confidence.

I will use my response sheets that I receive from my student’s teachers as well as the response sheet I use in my class as a gauge to how many points they receive for good behavior. Students will be working to gain points for a special recognition at the end of the 9 weeks grading period. During the week students may receive coupons for homework, extra credit, drink, or snack. (See attached coupons) The maximum amount of points available per week is 550. They are eligible to receive 100 points from me and 150 points from each of their other 3 teachers. Points for my class is broken down according to the attached study skills class behavior monitoring form. The confidential monitoring form I receive each week from other teacher’s results in point as follows: For each “Yes” checked a student will receive 5 points. For a grade average equaling an “A” or “B” a student will receive an extra 5 points for a total of 150 points per teacher. For every “No” checked I will subtract 2 points from the total score. If a teacher as checked in between “Yes” and “No” a student would receive 2.5 points with no points subtracted. At the end of the 9 weeks grading period each student who has 4800 points will be treated to a special activity.

Suggestions for activities would be – out to eat and to the movie, tickets to an area sports game (Wake Forest, Winston Salem Warthogs, Charlotte Bobcats etc.), free admission to a home game at our school, trip to the Zoo, or party during lunchtime. This would cost students half the cost or nothing depending on the activity and how many students earned it. If the entire class earned the points we would plan a field trip during the school day.

It is important students are rewarded for even the slightest good behavior. Point standings will be posted by student number in the classroom weekly so students are constantly aware of where they stand and can schedule a meeting with me if they feel they need to.

I have attached an Excel spreadsheet example that I will use to keep up with points. I will post points on a poster board in the classroom.
