Class Dojo
We will be using a new behavior system this year. Class Dojo
is an online positive/negative points program that allows students to track
their own behavior by giving themselves points or taking them away. This system
will be displayed on the Smart Board daily. Each student will have their own
“monster” avatar. Students can earn positive points by: Teamwork, Helping
others, participation, hard work, on task and persistence. Negative Points can
be earned by: showing disrespect, no homework, being off task, being unprepared
or any negative behavior. At the end of the day students will be rewarded for
points with sticks, candy, wildcat cash and other incentives. If a student is
displaying a negative behavior they will be warned first. If the behavior
continues the student will deduct a point from their avatar. If the student
then continues to display the behavior, the student will deduct another point
and will have a note written home in their planner. Hopefully the behavior will
not continue after the previous warnings, but if it does the student will
deduct another point and will receive a referral.
Sticks
As mentioned in the previous section,
we will be using “sticks” as part of our rewards system. Students will be able
to use sticks to buy items from our class store. This store will be open at
least once every two weeks for shopping. The following are ways students can earn “sticks”:
-
Earning
5 or more points on Dojo per day
-
Random
acts of kindness
-
Going
above and beyond
These are a
few ways, there may be others, but those will be communicated on a need to know
basis.
