Behavior Resources

Behaviors resources are an integral part of any classroom. Most students need an extrinsic motivation. It doesn't matter how explicit your expectations are, if students aren't motivated to learn you've lost them before you've even started. 

Resource #1
PBIS World

Most schools are moving or have moved to the use of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. The PBIS World website is a great resource that looks at different types of behaviors, tiered interventions, and data tracking resources. 

Resource #2
Class Dojo
My students really enjoyed Class Dojo. It can be customized to meet the behavior needs of your students, because of this it can help identify problem areas in your classroom such as shouting out, disrespect, or off task behaviors. This data can be shared with parents and can make communication easier. Class Dojo is a very popular behavior tool in classrooms and therefore there are many reward menus that have already been created and are ready to use.  











Resource #3
Online Stopwatch

As a Special Education Teacher transitions are some of the most difficult times in my classroom. Online Stopwatch really helped with this. It also help to reduce off task behaviors in my classroom when I set the timer for them to complete an assignment. This allowed for students to slowly start to self-manage, toward the end of the year I would hear my students say, "I don't have much more time I need to get back to work!" You can choose from a variety of timers that make watching the time go by a little more fun.
