Rewarding and Recognizing Good Behavior the Ram's Way!

Help me give my students recognition for their efforts in helping maintain a positive and safe learning environment for everyone at our school. These prizes, games (Jenga, Connect 4), and art supplies will reward their efforts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gheesling's classroom raised $708

My Students

I am the PBIS school level coach and reading teacher in my small town rural community school. We are aiming to implement a program that will encourage and reinforce positive behaviors in the classroom and in our community.

PBIS is a program that rewards students for following school- wide and classroom expectations that promote safety and learning in our classrooms and throughout the building.

The items from the Donor's Choose project will be used to support our efforts by providing prizes and awards for students who follow the PBIS school wide expectations.

My Project

The materials used from this project will help our teachers encourage and reward positive behavior among our students. When students earn NES Ram's Bucks, they will be eligible to "buy" prizes from the NES Ram's Mobile.

Our school utilizes PBIS to teach and support positive behavior in our students.

We understand that the best instruction and learning takes place in a safe, well managed environment where students feel safe and are celebrated.

At RL Norris, it is our belief that students should not only feel safe at school; but also be motivated to learn in an environment that encourages positive behavior. Ram's Bucks is a way to reward students who are motivated, positive, and work hard to accomplish our learning goals in an exciting way.
