My school has chosen to implement a positive behavior rewards program. According to their website, "PBIS improves social, emotional and academic outcomes for all students, including students with disabilities and students from under-represented groups." All of our students are learning to be responsible, organized, accepting, and safe while they are in school. Students follow a school-wide matrix, which helps them identify appropriate behaviors necessary for success, throughout their school day. When one of our staff members sees a student following our matrix, they are rewarded with a "PBIS" dollar. Students can exchange these dollars for real-life rewards! Currently, our rewards are mediocre. The materials I am requesting will create motivation for the students to follow our school-wide matrix and therefore earn more “dollars.” Items such as an Amazon Fire Tablet or Amazon Echo Dot provide the much-needed encouragement for students to earn “dollars.” An exciting incentive, such as the Beats headphones or Fujifilm Instax camera, will definitely inspire my students to improve their behaviors, both socially and academically. Students eventually exchange their earned dollars for these incentives! We are very excited to implement this program at my school, and want to continue to reward their hard work!
