If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. ~William Glasser
What is the dojo? • Class dojo is an easy and engaging behavior management tool • The dojo will help you track behaviors, both positive and negative • Special sound effects tell students you are keeping track • Detailed reports are easy to use and easy to share with parents
How does it work? • Simply click a student and click the behavior you are observing • Click “random” for the dojo to pick a random student (this works great for giving points when many kids are doing what they should be such as in the hallway) • Click “award multiple” to give points to more than one student at a time • Click “award all” to give points to the entire class
Where can I use it? • In the classroom: you can use the dojo on any desktop or laptop computer • In the hallways: access the dojo from a mobile device • Anywhere with internet access and even places without! If you are not in range of a wifi signal the dojo will continue to keep track of the points you award until an internet connection is made
How can I customize it? • You choose the behaviors that you want to monitor • Students choose their avitars • Reports can be set up to automatically email to the parents daily or weekly
What do I do with the points • Points can be accumulated for any length of time that you want • Reset points daily or set individual point goals for students to try to reach • Use the points to set up a class raffle or individual rewards • The dojo keeps a running total of points, negative points will deduct from your overall total of positive points
Tell me more about the reports! • After you end the class, the dojo will generate a report on each class and the accumulated points for each student • The dojo creates an easy to understand pie graph listing the percent of positive points and a break down of how each point was earned • Parents can view when each point is given for their child • Reports are easy to print as documentation of behaviors including dates and times
What do the students think about it? • Students love using the dojo! • Students get instant feedback on their performance • Students are motivated to accumulate points • Students respond to the special sound effects
So how do I get started • Simply visit their site at www.classdojo.com • Sign up to receive a free account • Create a class and enter your students’ names • Print the letter to send home to parents to invite them to sign up for the parent account which gives them access to their child’s data with a special parent code • Print out student log in codes to allow students to customize their avitar
