My Project

As a special education teacher in a multicast classroom, I serve very diverse needs. These needs require token economy options for my students to feel motivated to earn rewards and decrease unsafe behaviors.

My students often require support with understanding safe choices, appropriate peer interaction, and understanding feelings.

When these choices and understandings happen, students should be rewarded!! I often spend a large portion of my paycheck supporting these students and their rewards. I am now looking to my community to help me realize this dream!

My team and I would love to offer more student-friendly options for these rewards. My students gave input and offered many ideas for things they would enjoy. Please consider helping my team provide these options for our student rewards!

Grades 6-8
