LA CONDUCTA
 I prefer to reward those that exceed expectations and complete jobs well-done, but I will also enforce consequences when necessary.I use a program called Class Dojo to monitor student behavior. It is based on a point system that can be tracked throughout the day. Each time a student is caught exceeding expectations, he/she will earn a point! On the other hand, if he/she makes a poor choice, a point will be taken away. An added point means the chance to spin a reward wheel. A mix of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards are featured on my SMART board wheels. There is also a wheel of consequences if a point is lost. The benefit of using Class Dojo is that parents who are interested will be able to see every point that is added or subtracted at the moment the changes are made. So if you're ever curious about your child's behavior for the day, the answer is at your fingertips! Each student (and their parents) will have their own personal account information to log-in and see only their progress for the day (or week/month/year). That being said, I use Dojo as a visual for students, so they can monitor their own behaviors. If anything serious comes up that warrants parent or principal contact, you will hear directly from me. I believe that positive reinforcement is most effective, but some are more motivated by extrinsic rewards than intrinsic and vice versa, so I try to maintain a balance of both while making sure that students take responsibility for their choices and work towards exceeding (rather than just meeting) expectations! |
