CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
CARTER CASH
Good behavior will be acknowledged and reinforced with verbal praise and "Carter Cash." Weekly items will be sold at auction or given in a raffle. All students will receive $5.00 "Carter Cash" each Monday. Carter Cash is continuously given out throughout the week for making good choices.
MARBLE JAR
While Carter Cash is given to individual students who are behaving well, the Marble Jar rewards the class as a whole. When the entire class is working well, following directions, etc., I will add marbles into a jar. The better the class behaves, the more marbles earned. When the jar is filled to the top the class earns a special reward.
QUIET SEAT
Every day, I secretly select a student to be the Quiet Seat. At the end of the day, if the student has been well-behaved and hard-working, I reveal the Quiet Seat and reward him or her with Carter Cash. If, on the other hand, the Quiet Seat did not follow the classroom rules during the day, a treat is not earned and his or her identity is kept a secret.
VERBAL PRAISE
There is no substitute for a good, old-fashioned "Good job!"
COMPETENCE
The ultimate result of good behavior and strong study habits is competence. More important than classroom money, marbles, and verbal praise lies the real reward for being "good" is learning new things. LEARNING IS POWER!
