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 Project

There are many theorists who have done research on a token economy used for students with special needs and it significantly increases the academic achievement of students with intellectual disabilities when using token economy than using social reinforcements compared with typically developing children. Students will get reinforced every time they follow the classroom rules, turn in homework/classwork, and more. They will be given each time either a raffle ticket, which in two-four weeks they will get to "cash-in" and pick a reinforcer (Takis Fuego, Frito-Lay variety, Frito Lay Fiery Mix Variety, and more). Having a token economy, it helps motivate my students to want to learn and to be more academically successful because they want to earn those reinforcers. Therefore, a token economy reinforcement system increases the academic achievement of students with disabilities in the class.

Ideally, my classroom reinforcement system would consist of raffle tickets or Monopoly money earned when completing various tasks then biweekly or monthly the student can "cash-in" their Monopoly money or raffle tickets to any secondary tangible reinforcer.
