My Students

My students are incredible! My students are in kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grade. They are curious, inquisitive, hard-working, and dedicated. All of my students have Individualized Educational Plans because they have been diagnosed with disabilities.

All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch at school.

They come from high poverty areas, and they all love coming to school. My students are brilliant individuals who learn differently than their peers. These students will be successful, and it's my job to create learning opportunities that ensure this.

My Project

Positive reinforcement can be used very effectively in the school setting to create or enhance a desired behavior or behaviors. The gist is to basically not focus on the negative aspects of a person's behavior, but instead to focus on the positive aspects. The more focus that is placed on positive behavior, the more the behavior will be enhanced. As a result of this type of behavior modification program, the negative behaviors will naturally become less important and thus less active for the individual. This is especially important for students who have behavioral or emotional issues that cause them to act out.

These materials will help me create tangible positive reinforcement opportunities for students in school.
