Case: Rewards & Consequences Hi All. I am a student in graduate school learning about classroom expectations and procedures. As my fellow classmates and I have been reading and learning about a few of them I wanted to ask you a few questions. What type of system of "rules" or expectations do you have? What do you see works best? Do you use rewards and consequences? If so, what kind? I can think of a ton of rewards to give the students but I am struggling with what types of consequences I can give. I understand that some can be more severe than others but I want to understand what is tooooo severe vs. what is an everyday consequence of not sitting correctly at the rug, or what if you don't bring in your homework? I look forward to reading these responses and getting a better understanding of how you run your classroom! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There are many different strategies you can use with your students but each one is different because each set of classroom works differently in their dynamic. The first thing you can try with the students is a physical reward system. I have used in my younger aged classrooms the reward system of when the students exhibit a good behavior or action then they receive a small pom pom. Each student has their own little bucket that they collect their pom poms in and allows them to keep track of however many they have. I have noticed when I have used this, some students will try to receive tons of poms but learn quickly that they won't get a pom every single time they use that exact behavior, and when they get upset I explain the system that they shouldn't just be doing the action or behavior just because they got a pom and that they should want to be a better leader in their classroom and this has really helped with my young students. They then all want to be a leader in the classroom and work really hard, and at the end of every few months they will have almost like a book fair where they can "buy" small items with the amount of pom poms they have. Hope this is something that helps! |
