Class Dojo

Today a colleague and I were trying to set up a behavior system for a newly formed program for students with behavior issues.  The students will be self contained till the end of the year in the hopes that we can use data to make appropriate placement for the fall.  After much discussion, I suggested we try Class Dojo to set up the behavior expectations.  After about a 1/2 hour, we had the expectations listed and the point system all set up.  It was so easy and the parents were really glad that the daily report can be emailed directly to them at the end of the day.  Class Dojo will be a great way to start the year in the fall.  Check it out!

ClassDojo

We have been able to share so many valuable resources during this class and each of us has been able to take /use what will work with our students.  That said, to me it doesn't matter what we are teaching if the management in our classroom is not in order. If classroom rules/expectations are  clear and followed, the learning environment is so much more successful.  Class Dojo focuses on behavior management  and brings positive reinforcement to the digital age.
