The need for a SWPB Program… • High level of restraints/ reentries in the building Disconnection among students, school and teachers A need to focus more on being proactive versus reactive A need to focus on the positives to increase complianceand cooperation.
Self Monitoring • The goals are developed with a team approach. • Students monitor their behavior daily. • Explanations of guidelines for the program are kept simple- • It’s voluntary • Honor system • Cost for prizes and prize day • When prompts are removed and why
School Store Students can request items. Cost of each item. Yes, this mess is in my office! And donations are graciously accepted!
Student Feedback • “I like that we do good and it doesn’t go unnoticed” • “I like it because I’ve made a lot of progress with it” • “ I like how we are rewarded for good behavior. It feels good to know you’re doing good and someone acknowledges it!” • “I like that we all get to receive something for the good things that we have done and it’s fair for every one”
Teacher Feedback • “It’s made a definite improvement. The kids really look forward to the rewards each week. The prompt to keep on task for the rewards 90% works the 1st time” • “that the students buy into it. They want to earn the prizes. The reward system is working out well. There’s a big variety of rewards which motivates the students”. • “It gives the students something to look forward to. It provides them with items they might not otherwise have access to in exchange for their good behavior”.
Acknowledgment’s • This would not be possible if it weren’t for the wonderful, energetic and compassionate teachers, aides, and Supervisor. Thank you for your support.
