Using team points is a great way to encourage positive behavior. I have done tallies on the board with different table colors as headers. I decided to try something new this year and it doesn’t cost a thing. At the end of the week, each team tallies up their points, and the best part is that they all have a fair chance to be a winner. Even a sticker will make them happy! I have a benchmark and incentive for 20 30 and 40 points written on the board at the beginning of the week so they know what they are working towards. At the end of the week, I tie a Math skill into the calculating process and they tell me how much they earned. I also use the honor system which is a great way to build trust into your relationships with the students.
If you have any additional questions about this Team points for Positive Behavior, or you have a great intervention, please feel free to share! If you would like more ideas from me, be sure to follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Teachers Pay Teachers to stay posted with more from me!
