My Project
Students earn classroom tokens when they display positive behaviors. Since they display the targeted specific behaviors, students can exchange tokens in the classroom store. Students who do not display the appropriate behaviors cannot purchase high-value items.
Our classroom token economy offers various items priced from a dollar to twenty-five dollars.
This project was created to help stock the shelves of the classroom store. Students will have the opportunity to earn tokens to purchase materials listed in this project. Students want higher-valued items, so they display appropriate behaviors to earn tokens. During parent meetings, parents always mention their child wanting to earn tokens, also known as flamingo bucks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
