As a long time music teacher....I LOVE your creativity, maturity and caring attitude. As teachers, we are also called to be lifelong learners. I learned some new things from you. Thanks for sharing.
I so need this right now thank you!
Love the idea of the count system you do. I do something similar to your piano thing for the whole class. I was struggling to figure out a system to reward the "good kids" definitely will be implementing something similar the beginning of January! Thanks for the ideas!
Leah MusicCole no prob!
Thank you for these pointers!
This is amazing! Thank-you for sharing!
So helpful! I started the school year at my school 3 weeks late because their position was left vacant so I am trying to recover the discipline that I couldn't establish from the beginning. I am definitely going to implement this reward system. Also at a Title I school so thanks for the relatable advice
Glad it could help!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Courtney Cannon no problem! Thank you for giving me the push to film it!
Nice!
This is so helpful! Thank you so much, You're very inspiring and seem very kind. I graduated this year and am interested in becoming a music teacher myself and was wondering how to apply the daily award system in a high school or even middle school setting. I believe they would get pickier and given the classroom setting with instruments, sugar would be bad for them to have both around the instruments and in their mouths when dealing with the instruments(even if its given at the end of the day, it may become a bad habit for them to get used to having food or drink/sugar in general near instruments [in the classroom])
Thank you so much! You could totally change the rewards to whatever works best in your classroom!
Hi Ms. Heller. This CRM lesson/presentation (fieldwork observation time for my Grad School class too, btw) was absolutely OUTSTANDING!
Thank You! Do you ever do classroom lessons. I would LOVE ... need, to see you doing your thing. Not polished "practiced" end products either, but just you doing ANY random day doing what you do. Would be really helpful. I KNOW there are parental permissions etc. But I also know many teachers get them and post them here. BTW: If yu have , NEVER MIND : ) But I think you said you don't really towards the end. Oh!! do you ever share that written guidelines/rubric-like lamented sheet for CRM. Would love to see that/incorporate that. I understand if not cuz I know how much time and effort you put in. But thought I'd ask. ALL GOOD EITHER WAY and THANKS AGAIN! You are amazing and oh so helpful. Thank You!
I really like your discipline plan... rewarding the good kids is a great idea 💡
I really like the HELLO song and the rewards that they have to work towards. I know from experience that the candy rewards are problematic for substitute teachers who don't know who has allergies or is diabetic.
yeah, I don't let substitutes distribute any of these rewards ever. I do leave the behavior plan and tell them to let me know which students had issues so that they can "start over" but subs never reward students.
This was really helpful! Love the idea of the reward 'days' for making it 5 or 10 days with good behavior. Also a great idea to track individual students.
I'm sure the seating chart helps but do you have any special ways of learning names? I know it's way easier to discipline and reward behavior when you can direct your comments to students by name.
Also how to explain these reward/behavior systems to the kids? Do you take time and do it all during the first class or disperse it throughout a few classes?
I explain it all during the first class and then remind them about the rewards almost every class the first quarter. They still don’t remember which reward goes with which day, but soon enough they’ll have it memorized.
I have about 700 students and know probably 530 of their names by heart, but I have no good way for learning them! I have them on the floor so even though there’s a seating chart they’re still not super stationary so I was forced to know their name for discipline reasons versus my specials team colleagues who just know what name goes with what seat since the kids never move. I just try to memorize their face and if I forget their name during class I’ll ask them “what’s your last name again?” That way they don’t realize I completely forgot their whole name lol!
Love this idea! Do you have a copy of the rules that you showed in the video available for other teachers to use?
Nope! Just the video
I subscribed and liked with notifications on😃👍🏻. I’m a 11th grade student in high school and I really want to be a teacher📚👏🏻. I like your reward system! It’s nice to reward good behavior and not to reward bad! Also, when do you get to use the restroom as a teacher and what is your restroom procedures in your classroom? I use it during lunch, passing periods, and before school and right after dismissal🚽. There are kids in my classes who abuse the privileges by walking around the halls😭🤦🏻♂️. My teachers limited our privileges by giving us 4 restroom passes per 9 weeks because of them kids! I ask to use it very occasionally and I only do when I really need to go. I use my passes for emergencies and most of the time I’ll have 1-2 passes left by the end of the 9 weeks!
since I only see my kids once a week for 40 minutes their teachers are pretty good about letting them go before specials, but if it's an emergency then I let them go of course! as far as myself, I definitely have to plan my water consumption around breaks!
Teaching in Pearls that’s good that they get to go before your class because the amount of time is short😃. I’m learning how to plan when I drink water so I won’t need to go during class but it still happens occasionally! I’m trying to get better at saving passes for extra credit lol😂.
Thanks for the post! Could you include a photo/pdf on your blog or somewhere to see the points/rewards sheet that you have? I'd love to see it close up.
so all of the examples I read out loud are what I use, but I feel like a lot of the rewards are based on your school's already designated choices.
for 5 I do small candy, choose a song for the class to listen to, or choose your seat for the day
for 10 I do all of those, choose from the toolbox, or get a good phone call home
for 20 I do all of those or "teacher for a day" (they pick an activity for the class to do in a future lesson)
Yes I was about to say it would be nice to get a template on the tracking system and teachers can edit based on their school... but thanks for the tips ... only concern is the expense of getting the goodies in the US those things are pretty cheap elsewhere not so much ... one question do the middle school and high school students get rewarded with the same single skittle?
I really like this, but my school is really big on not giving food. ☹️
StacyAnnCan like I mentioned, you could always use tiny stickers for K-3 and in my rewards toolbox I have fidget spinners, pencils, pens. If my school was anti-food then I would also include tiny stuffed animals, McDonalds type toys, little notebooks, etc. There are definitely ways to make it work 😊
@@TeachinginPearls I had heard schools were outlawing those fidget spinners
@@msher1438 that's a case by case basis. my school doesn't have them "outlawed" but as a general rule, students can't have toys out unless they're at an after school program
@Lora McDonald I'll definitely have to make serious changes due to COVID but last year it was basically the same!
Could I get a copy of the papers that you are showing?
I’ve been using this system all throughout this year. My kids have been so well behaved, so receptive and excited about their streaks, and they are accountable for their actions. Thank you for this! Also: I made the ridiculous choice to make their 20 day streak reward a $10 gift card. I’m on track to spend a lot of money. Lol. I don’t mind, because I’m very big on keeping my word. The kids accepted my challenge and behavior has been stellar. Advise on how to change the 20 day reward for next year?
That is awesome! I personally would never offer money, so I'm not sure lol
Hi can you please explain what "color changes and card flips" are for k through 3rd? Do you use clip charts in music class for those grades?
Some homeroom teachers choose to use those discipline structures. I teach all 600 kids in the school so I have to follow whichever procedure their homeroom teacher prefers. I’m not sure how it is handled when they get back to their classroom, that’s up to their other teachers.
Do you ever have where 5 kids earned it and they all want to do the light board that day? How do you deal with that. I am afraid with 30 min classes the choice making will take too long! If they are on day 5 do you let them quickly choose a reward at the beginning of class or do they think about it and choose for the next week?
If you have good classroom management then it doesn't take long for them to chose! I usually count backwards from 5 if they are taking too long. If more than one kid wants to change the lightboard then I write their name on the attendance box for the next class, so on and so forth. The kids NEVER forget that it's their turn to change it (even if it's three weeks later) but I always write it down just in case. However, sometimes I'll have four classes in a day change it but since I only see my students once a week they don't notice that it was changed in the following hour! lol
They always have to wait until the end of class to make their choice, because they don't technically earn day five until the end of day five. Some kids will get to 20 and start over on 20 before they earn that reward. This also adds an extra level of classroom management because sometimes if the entire class is completely crazy (rare) I will "run out of time" for reward and they'll have to wait a week.
What was the game?
Awesome ideas! I have one question though, do the students restart the streak after claiming the rewards?
I was referring to the individual reward chart for grade 4-6. After students claim the reward for a 5 day streak, the following week, do they restart as day 1 of the streak or as day 6?
Nope - they keep going until 20, then they re-start! :)
What do you do for party music day
Unfortunately none of my classes have earned it-lol! But they would get a choice between music related things like karaoke, watching (appropriate) music videos, dance videos (kids bop dance and go noodle are AWESOME for that), playing ukuleles, etc.
What kinds of consequences do you give the students that are not doing what they should? I have students that I follow a similar reward system with but we are struggling with consequences for the ones that are not buying into it!!
First it depends on the severity. If it is not a huge deal (and they are in 4-6) then I will just put on "x" on the day to start over their "streak". Then it depends on the grade level, because each of the seven grades (K-6) have their own behavior system and I follow what is consistent with their core teachers. For K-2 they do "color changes," third grade is "strikes," and 4-6 we have things called "step forms."
Thank you!
The big problem with this is that its nothing more than bribery. If we teach bribery when they're young they expect it when they're older.
You can see it that way, but I disagree. It's reinforcing and rewarding positive behavior choices instead of focusing on only addressing negative behavior.
I agree. So many teachers reward now a days. I'm a sub and I don't have rewards and they give me the "what are you gonna give me if i do this?" "I'm not doing this unless you give me something" attitude. I had a student ask "how many points is this worth?" and I said "none" so she decided not to do it and just sit there. It's frustrating.
@@jcruz-hv3fr Since my music class doesn't count toward GPA, some students absolutely refuse to participate because their music grade doesn't mean anything.
@@karlrovey understandable. I'm no longer a sub, but those days were tough. Teachers are aware of what their students are willing to do so giving a sub a no points assignment is just messed up. That hour (if middle school) feels like 2.
I'm a teacher now and I definitely don't reward for what they are supposed to be doing. I reward for above and beyond and they're all trying to reach it.
