you\u2019ll find some great award templates in the Kami Library<\/a>), classroom dollars that students can earn and then redeem for small items, or a lucky dip where chosen students can pick a prize. You may choose to have a range of rewards to acknowledge good behavior immediately and to recognize consistent good behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRewarding average good behavior over the course of a week or a term (for example, having a certain number of good days or lessons) can acknowledge that every student has off days and help reduce the issue of one bad day ruining behavior that, in general, is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reward individually so that good children don\u2019t feel held back<\/h5>\n\n\n\n In your class, you\u2019ll always have a range of students, and some will be better behaved than others. Rewarding individual student behavior ensures that good students are recognized, and those that need help are given the right encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reward as a class to help people work together<\/h5>\n\n\n\n Alongside individual rewards, you may want to have a class reward that can be earned if students work together to achieve a goal. This could be a class activity or some shared food, or free time at the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The emphasis, especially in the first week of school, should be on encouraging good behavior and learning the rules with a bit of lenience. But sometimes, you may need to discourage negative behavior with consequences like time out or missing out on fun activities. Use these consequences carefully and make sure that the student always understands why they are being given the consequence. You could consider using a warning system where students move down toward consequences to give them a chance to improve their behavior first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
