Deciding to have each of the kids in my class choose their own behavior goal has been a game changer for me. Game. Changer.
We have a token system, where kids can earn classroom "currency." It works well, but something was missing. My class can earn "brownie points" as a group and earn rewards as a whole class. They love it. But, again, something was missing. There were still a handful of students who made me want to bang my head against the wall! (We've all been there, right?)
