My Project

My school uses a program called PBIS Rewards. Students are rewarded with points for making good choices (i.e., coming to class prepared, completing assignments, being respectful, and following classroom expectations). We decided to implement this program due to the number of behavior referrals and punitive methods not being effective. By implementing the PBIS Rewards program and developing the Paw Mart, we have started seeing significant improvement in student behaviors.

The Paw Mart is a storefront at our school where students can exchange points – which are earned through good behavior – for prizes.

Teachers scan the students’ QR code on their student badge or on a phone or computer screen. The students can then save or take their points to the Paw Mart during lunch and spend their points on various items including water bottles, play doh, snacks, candy, toys, school supplies, gift cards, board games, sports balls and other items they have suggested.
