My Project

I work at a Title I Middle School in Merdian, Idaho, and we are the only Title I Middle School in our district. We have a lot of high needs students, and I am supporting Special Education students with the highest behavioral needs. I am working on students advocating for their needs and working towards student ownership for their behavior. This project supports students to advocate for their own needs from self-calming tools to recognizing when they are hungry.

My vision is to start the school year with a classroom economy where students can earn rewards for positive behaviors and self- advocacy.

I will have each reward divided into tubs based off of how much they cost, to help students identify how much money they have, and which tub they can buy from.

I also want my students to understand what happens if they are not prepared or need something. For example, if students need to charge their laptop and don't have a charger, they will need to pay me to use a charger, or if they need headphones, they will also need to pay for those as well. I want to students to come to class prepared, and if they need something there will be a money consciousness. I hope to create a positive classroom community where students feel heard and learn to be prepared for each day at school.
