2. Classroom Management is very personal to most teachers Create a system that fits your style Try something new Tweak what isn’t working well

3. Point Systems are one way to let kids take a role in classroom management Grant points for desired behavior Allow students to redeem points for rewards Deduct points for undesirable behavior

4. You could Grant Points for…. Signed Progress Report Signed Syllabus Attending Open House Bringing Supplies Perfect Attendance Arriving on Time No Discipline Referrals Completing Chores No Zeros

5. Students could ‘Spend’ Points for… 1 point for a restroom break 2 points to drop a daily grade 3 points to drop a quiz grade For Disciplinary Purposes

6. How to Manage Points… No Need to ‘clip coupons’ Points can carry over Pass out Reports Students can Choose

7. Benefits Fewer Restroom Breaks Plentiful Supplies Clean/Organized Classroom Improved Compliance Student ownership of Grades

8. Drawbacks Lots of Grades for Lots of Points Extra Work on you Time to complete Task. Not Motivating for all students
