My Project

I have a group of students on my caseload that have been struggling all year with their behavior and would typically earn several discipline referrals every week. We have tried various interventions, but where having trouble finding something to motivate them. We have been meeting to weekly grade checks and discuss behavior goals. If the students do not earn a discipline referral all week they are invited to my office to play on the PlayStation during their Friday flex period.

I told them if they did not get a discipline referral for an entire month we could get a new (nonviolent) video game of their choice.

They chose 2k24! We also need one more controller and charger.
