Positive Reinforcement is Key!

Help me give my students a VIP ROOM; a reward room for students that are ignoring negative peer behaviors and staying on task.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are part of a specialized program on a general education campus. I work with students with emotional disturbance. This population is volatile and needs a classroom full of love and a sense of community.

My students are strong-willed, enthusiastic, and full of love.

They enjoy coming to school in person twice a week and really enjoy being able to spend time together. They work hard day in and day out.

My Project

These items will help me create a reward room for my students with emotional disturbance. It is important to reward my students for positive behaviors and especially for ignoring peers' off-task behavior. Often times I have to evacuate my room and I would like to put these items in my spare room; for those children who ignored a peer and went on with their day.

Positive reinforcement is important in any classroom but especially in my behavior intervention class.

I will be able to create a movie room in my spare room for children to earn as a VIP room. They will be expected to meet high expectations like being safe (keeping hands to self) and being responsible (completing all work).
