The app assists with documenting both students positive and negative behaviors. The design of the app allows the students and parents to get connected via email or app, and they are able to view their behavior daily. I assign a responsible student to manage the program during class by utilizing my iPad to make the proper behavior notations. Do you think it is fair to allow students who have been proven to be responsible the opportunity to make such documentation with teacher supervision? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that a better option would be for you, as the teacher, to handle such documentation. I do not think it is appropriate for students to decide whether or not their classmates are exhibiting positive or negative behavior. Instead, I would suggest that you let each student give themselves their own points. For example, if Student A conducts one of hte behaviors that merits a point, project the Dojo point page onto the screen and say something like, 'Student A, I love the way that you _______. Come give yourself one Dojo points for that." This way, you are consistently reinforcing and stating the rules and expectations while allowing students to take some responsibility for their own point system.
