Be Positive

In my second placement which is in fourth grade my cooperating teacher always uses positive reinforcement to stop disruptive behavior.

1. She will praise students when they are on task which makes the students who are off task get on task because they want praise.

2. She also uses a thing called Pride tickets, that the whole school uses. They are slips of paper that are given to students when they are doing something good. Once they have collected 5, on Fridays, they get to take them to the office and pick a prize. When my cooperating teacher gives them out she makes sure to tell the whole class why that student is getting the ticket.

3. She also has a rewards system where students move a close pin on a stop light poster when they are doing something good. If they get to the red light at the end of the day (moved 1 time) they receive $1 of their fake money, $3 if they are on yellow (moved twice), and $5 if they are on green (moved 3 times). They can move more then three times in a day but most the time they do not move that much.
