Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The STEM school is where I teach a very diverse group of kids. Many of these kids come from homes where education doesn't play an important role. These students have not had experiences that help their academic career. Adults work for a paycheck. Our kids are working for a different kind of pay, a reward system paycheck. Not only will a reward system that pays them in materials that will help their academic growth. It will help to support their academic journey by encouraging better school behaviors which will also help their personal finance education.

Students using a token economy will benefit academically as well as financially and socially.

The entire school receives free lunch and many families live below the poverty line and having a difficult time providing basic school supplies. These students need all the encouragement they can get to realize educational benefits. Not only would they have something that excites them as a paycheck but the reward can also be educational with school supplies also being available as a reward.

My Project

The diverse needs and abilities of the students at our STEM school create the need for different rewards and motivators. We would love to pay them for their hard work and great behavior with rewards from the school positive behavior incentive store. We are asking for items like notebooks, pencils, erasers, playdough, spiral notebooks, glue sticks, bouncy balls, stampers, jewelry, sticky hands and other trinkets. Items that would excite students to work harder, behave better, save their resources and to want to be better students.

Not only would they have something that excites them as a paycheck but the reward can also help provide some students with school supplies that parents can't afford to purchase.

Students are receiving educational value with managing the store money they earn. I am asking for items to stock the store to be donated to our school so students will become more economically aware while working for the ability to purchase needs and wants in the PBIS store.
