Class Dojo: Behavior Management System
In the 1st through 6th grade computer classes, students earn points during the period based on how hard they work, if they focus during class, follow directions, raise their hand if they need help, help others, or if we work in groups, they earn points based on their teamwork. So far, this has been a very successful program for our classes! At the end of every month, students who earn the most points pick a Dojo monster and put it up on our "Class Dojo Superstars!" bulletin board as well as pick a prize from my prize box. This is a very simple but effective program that is having a positive effect in my classroom!
