My Project

Positive reinforcement helps children feel good about their choices, which motivates them to increase the behaviors that bring rewards. I'd like to use these items (slap bracelets, stress relieve items, mini notebooks, etc. ) as tangible evidence for making positive choices in our learning community during class.

Praise and positive reinforcement usually produces both short-term and long-term benefits as children learn helpful habits that will prove beneficial throughout life.

One important advantage of using positive reinforcement is that students actively enjoy being present and learning in the classroom. Use of positive reinforcement leads to heightened enthusiasm in students and even the teacher! All students benefit from positive recognition for doing the right thing.
