How Are We Going to Change Unwanted Behavior? TICKETS!!! Star Store BIST

What Do I Give Tickets For? Good deeds that go beyond what you normally would do for people Improved behavior Improved grades Extraordinary kindness to other students Showing leadership Volunteer tutoring Showing school spirit Good behavior on field trips Meeting class commitment Anything that your teacher feels deserves a ticket

NEVER TAKE TICKETS AWAY!! If a student earns a ticket, they KEEP the ticket – NEVER take tickets away!! Do NOT bribe student with TICKETS!! Must be something you CATCH them doing

Examples: A student who has forgotten library book 2 days in a row, brings it next day = ticket or no ticket? Picks up someone’s books if they drop them = ticket or no ticket? Student who is quiet and safe in the hall = ticket or no ticket? You tell the student you will give them a ticket if they go to the office for you, and they do. = ticket or no ticket? Has pencil on desk and waiting quietly = ticket or no ticket? Never has a pencil, brings a pencil = ticket or no ticket?

No Ticket If you do this, I will give you a ticket----NO!!!!
