Griffin’s “Eagle-I Am” Punch Card When the “Eagle/I Am” punches are given to the students they are complimented for practicing the “Griffin Expectations” such as: “Thank you for practicing Respect and Responsibility.”

Eagle Tickets are given to administrators, specials teachers and non-instructional staff members to give to students they observe the students exhibiting Griffin Expectations. Students give these tickets to their teachers and receive a punch on their card

“Ticket in the Door” Example of an invitation to the monthly PBS Celebration A completed “Punch Card” earns the student a number of reinforcers. Within the classroom, students earn a small reinforcer at the end of each row. The goal is to gradually increase to two rows, three rows, etc, prior to receiving the reinforcer.
