Ok. So I would go with 3 rules to individually remind them. I just created this for you. There is individual ones you can hand them. There are also some big ones you can put on the board. When I do token boards, I focus on those rules. You may have other rules, but frankly those are the ones that you probably want to focus on.



Using rewards is a sticky wicket with some people. They don't believe that kids should be getting rewards for good behavior. Show them this.



Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), is a four letter word to a lot of teachers because admin just uses it for a laissez-faire approach to behavior management. Kids are basically able to get away with anything and everything because everything has to be positive. Which isn't how it should be implemented. However, in a class it is very effective. Classwide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an awesome book to read. It will give you some proactive strategies and some reactive strategies.



They are going to need something tangible and not just points. They are going to need to see something. I would go with punch cards. I found this website this morning. I also looked around and found this site. You can create your own punch cards. Get some neon or colored index cards, colored printable labels, and some small stickers (like stars or smiley faces or the like). You can print something cool on the labels, print, and put it on the index card. Put the stickers around it. You can also get colored card stock and go to the Avery website and use one of their templates. That way you can personalize them. I would go one further and get a cool hole punch.



As for rewards. Here's the issue. If everyone is working for computers, what is their incentive to work for something special? Its not special if everyone gets it. You want a reward for them. Check out those sites. For buy in, a week is a long time for kids who have extreme behaviors that require a tier two behavior plan (which you are doing). I would do everyday for a week or two (depending on how they do). They need to get 80%. Nobody behaves 100% of the time. Hell, start out with 75%. They need to learn that good behavior equals fun and fabulous prizes. If they aren't getting that reward frequently at first, they are going to give up on it because they are going to see it as bullshit. I say two weeks because they may need more time to settle into the plan because you only see them part of the time. After 2 weeks, I would move to twice a week (Wednesday and Friday) for 2 or 3 weeks (again play it by ear). After that move it to Fridays.



You are eventually going to want to fade the support because you want to teach them that they need to behave without a reward. I would give it 5 months or so. When that happens, I would do behavior sheets once a week with the punch card (if they can, there are some that they can reflect on their behavior and you can reflect on their behavior). Do that for a while. Then do the punch card with the behavior sheet one week and just the behavior sheet the next week. Switch off the two for as long as you need to. Then fade it to just the behavior sheet and a reward at the end of the month.



I would start everything on Mondays. Its something I do. Things start fresh on Mondays.



I know that's a lot to digest. Let me know if you have any questions.
